There will be a food truck on-site all day and volunteers get free food. LACA provides a safety service and receives a $750 donation from Cal-Tri. This is a win for everybody; the athletes, the volunteers, LACA and Cal-Tri (which is a non-profit organization).
Last fall, LACA provided swim marshals for the Kinetic triathlon. I was one of the kayak volunteers who wore 6 layers of clothes under my life jacket and braved the weather. Fortunately, the storm that had been forecast stayed west of the lake and the event was a success. Despite the weather, it was incredible to get a front row seat to watch and be able to support the swimmers. We did have a few swimmers who had to rest by holding onto a kayak. Their race time no longer counted, but after a little recovery time, some wanted to finish the swim while others accepted a jet ski ride back to shore. The swim marshals also found themselves becoming a cheering section for the swimmers who were reaching deep inside to complete the swim.
Details:
You will do a double registration. Once on the LACA site so that I have contact information in case any details change. For the LACA registration you can put more than one person on the same registration. Each person must register on the Cal-Tri site and complete their registration (use the url below to go directly to the volunteer page). There is a spot on the Tri Cal registration to note you are a LACA volunteer.
2024 Cal Tri Richmond - 5.19.24 Volunteer Registration (californiatriathlon.org)
We will need 2 of our 10 volunteers to be on a jet ski. Let me know if you'd rather be on a jet ski than a kayak.
I look forward to seeing you on the 19th!
