The LV Tri Club won the best aid station at this year's Silverman triathlon. The award was claimed at the banquet for the volunteers held on Sat, Nov 15 at 6pm, in downtown Henderson. Dinner was provided by the Outback Steak House who cooked us a fantasic array of steak, chicken, salads and wild rice.........
Nestled at mile marker #7 on the run course, Nich Ghallager and company went beyond the call of duty to provide every athlete with the proper hydration and nutritional needs required to finish such grueling event. Not only did they have all of the goodies but they were dressed as chefs and ran along side the athletes generating adrenaline to the weary runners. They even had a young lady singing and playing guitar just to make evryone that much more comfortable. When I went through, they overwhelmed me with cheers, encouragement and every possible nutritional need, needless to say, I was fully energized!!!
Congratulations to Nick's gang, they had tough competition from numerous aid stations but came out on top!!! I will mention again and again that without the dedication, hard work and countless hours these volunteers spend out there, we wouldn't be able to race.
I was honored to be a guest speaker in front of these wonderful folks who unselfishly dedicated their valuable time and effort so we can race. I also tip my helmet to the Henderson Police Department (it was great running red lights!!!) who did an splendid job holding traffic and making the roads safe for the racers. The City of Henderson and its officials who went all out to make this event possible, providing road closures and needed permits. The Henderson Multi Generational Complex where the expo and finish line took place. And last but not least, Frank and Megan Lowery and their fine staff who have worked so hard to bring us the finest full distance triathlon for the last four years.
It's been a great year for the Tri Club members, finishing the year with Silverman was a special treat. We've had a great time this season and it's time to relish in our results and take a well deserved break. Looking forward to the year-end party coming up soon where we can unwind a little and aknowledge the fruits of our efforts. 'Till then, take care and, thank you for reading....................Victor
