7.00 am start, winner in at 3.11pm, cutoff midnight (you thought you worked overtime – 17hrs long)
We had quite the night! Our shift started at 7pm, working security detail and cheering on the runners in the final mile. About five minutes in it rained really hard so we were wet all night, but it must’ve been nice for the runners. We had fun banging our noise makers. One of the coolest parts about working the late shift is that the real heroes come in like the 79 yr old man who made it in during the last hour. This is the most difficult triathlon in the world and it was awesome to be a part of it!
