Sounds good to me, see you Wednesday morning.

Teal, maybe we can carpool out there for the 8am shift? I'd be happy to pick up anyone else coming from the NW area too, just let me know!

[Gary]

I"d like to help but may find myself working on part of the 4th. I should know more on Monday. Gary

CARPOOL! There is a lot of traffic for this race. The race starts at 6:30am

I will be getting on the island about 530. I plan to leave Beaverton at 445 am.
I could use 3 people to help me set the tents up.

CARPOOL LOCATION: if you want to carpool with other volunteers, meet at Starbucks parking lot on NW 29th and Yeon/highway 30.

When you get on the island, turn right and drive PAST the start/ finish to Aid Station 6. It is at mile 12. Let the traffic volunteers know you are a volunteer. Look for a Red Lizard tent. Park anywhere that is off the road.

When we first get there we will set up the tables, tents, and pour electrolyte drink or water in cups. It gets really busy around 8am.

Things to bring: sunscreen, warm clothes , bug spray or allergy meds if you need them. You guys can bring cowbells, if someone has a big cooler that would be great. We can use it for volunteer's beverages and snacks. You can bring snacks to share. Remember to stay hydrated. Camaras would be good too and music.
Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Thanks for organizing, Bhavana!

What time should carpoolers plan on leaving Starbucks and heading to the island?

[bhavred]

If you are carpooling, meet at 5:45 am at Starbucks so you can be on the road at 5:55 am.

I'll be there!

[Shelley]

For anyone volunteering for the 8am shift, we can meet at that Starbucks at 7:45am to carpool.

Bhavana!! Thank you so much for organizing tomorrow!! If it's cool with you, I will bring the TRL table for setting up BBQing after I finish running around 9:00AM.

[Kate]

Just in case anyone is cross referencing Bhavana's directions above with a course map, the aid station is actually number SEVEN, not six as mentioned above...

[bhavred]

Thank you Kate!

[bhavred]

That should be fine!

Thanks to all the volunteers at the aid station! The barbecue was a success! Good job to all the runners! It was a very fun day!

Thanks, Bhavana, for organizing the TRL aid station. It was definitely the biggest and most supportive aid station on the whole course; very visual, audible, and encouraging. I certainly appreciated all the encouraging support from the volunteers as I came through.

Oh, and I'll reconnect with you about purchasing the TRL singlet.

Thank you!

Steves

Awesome work today everyone!

We had plenty of great volunteers were all over the aid station.

And Bhavana - thank you so much for organizing. Everything went perfect.
