The Checkpoint Zero / Golite team had their volunteer's hats on this past weekend. I think I can safely say that we all thoroughly enjoyed the change of pace. Waking up on race day morning without the "rabid butterflies" in the stomach made me wonder why I raced at all :)

It was a real pleasure watching these athletes move their way through the course and dealing with the adversities that came their way. Getting to talk to some teams during transition and at various checkpoints gave me a new respect for my fellow racers and their fantastic attitudes.

Congratulations to all the competitors and thanks to Yak, Tony and their families for providing a challenging, accurate race and to my fellow team members and our families for their help over the past few weeks.
