Drove about 300 miles today as well as loading and unloading a bunch of boxes and ham radio equipment.
Participating in a big relay race this Sunday - the Ski to Sea - and operate my radio for one of the legs. I work with a team of spotters about two miles out from where the road bicycles hand off to the canoe paddlers. They radio in the incoming bib numbers to me and I announce them on the public address system. This gives the canoe teams about ten minutes heads up to great their team-mate and get the timing bracelet from them. I also connect with the overall event network as well as monitor the Search and Rescue, Police and Fire frequencies for any events that might need to be brought to the race officials attention.
Been doing this for over five years but since I am moving away from the area, I am now handing it over to a new face - training them on what to do.
