Silverman: by Dave C


I was a race official at the Silverman on race day so I got to see the race from a number of points of view. I don’t know everyone in the club now we have grown so much over the last couple of years but I recognize many, I was struck by how many club members were on the course as participants, volunteering as course workers directly for the race director and as volunteers at our aid station. Our community of triathletes and our club members are generous and engaged!!!


Our final club project was the aid station at the Silverman, which thanks to the efforts of many of you was a big success. Toni Repetti and Nick Gallager worked hard to get coverage for the station and kept things together on race day – thank you! We don’t do this at every race but not every race is an Ironman distance race that finishes in the dark and cold month of November. We are triathletes that understand and respect the punishment that these athletes are facing and I think that comes through as they approach our station hear their name and “what do you need”. Thanks everyone!!!
