I started my day at Corral Help, then Carter Summit 1st shift, and continued in to this 2nd shift at Carter Summit. We had a lot of downtime after the outbound racers came through. But, once the racers started coming inbound, we had a LONG day of helping so many racers through. It was a long and hard effort, but extra rewarding when you realize that you're the last support many of them see before the Finish Line.

I went to Carter Summit after working the Start Corrals. I was able to get to the aid station in time to see the racers come through. Not many people stop at Carter Summit outbound, but we did offer assistance to the few that did. Overall, this was a pretty "easy" assignment. Captain Mike was awesome BTW!

Being at the Start Corrals at 4am is tough. Thanks for the complimentary coffee, BTW. But, being a 2-time racer, I was able to bring experience to the job: encouraging everyone to get the nervous jitters out of the way early as I didn't want to have to pull unattended bikes as the start time approached. Most racers obliged, but unfortunately, I had to pull 3. After we pulled the Corral tape, I was able to watch the roll-out from the grandstands. That is an awesome sight to see!
