I went to a late afternoon swim at a pool on the run course, and you want to talk about sad, i saw the race director alone manning an aid station. It could have been he was just making sure it was stocked, but it was empty of people. All the stations i saw today just had one person, so I'm sure many will just go on autopilot for the full folks. iF it hadn't hit him that they were alarmingly unprepared, I sure picking up cups from the gutter during the race, and filling up cups to lonely wait for the next person, probably sent the message home..

Good for him getting out there an making sure cups were filled, but not really your job as RD to be doing what the local boy scout troop should be doing..

Oh, forgot that he also had to strip down during my race and paddle out to make a rescue, now that is wearing too many hats..
