San Diego Iron Man March 29th Join the San Diego Parrot Head Club as we partner with Ford San Diego Ironman to support the Challenged Athletes Foundation
We need 50 volunteers. As of this date we have 20-30. We will work the Transition Area Pointers/Athlete Support. This is where the athletes have all their equipment and will go to change from swim to bike to run. It's important to look for athletes that may need to medical attention and walk them to the Med Tent, point athletes to where they need to head out, keep athletes from jumping out in front of other athletes as they get onto the center carpet, keeping their spirits up, and encouraging them to keep going strong, etc. No family members or friends of the athletes are allowed in this area so volunteers play a crucial part of cheering the athletes on. You will receive a volunteer shirt, a sack lunch, wristband for access to transition area, and parking pass Contact Chuck (butlercg1@cox.net 619-660-0390) and Gail Folsom (legspoway@aol.com 858-486-9011 home, 619-508-1646 cell) if you can participate or have any questions. Friends who are looking to have a great time on March 29th, please invite them. There will be a SDPHC North County Happy Hour featuring Steve Orr and Jerry Gontang immediately after the event, at Monterey Canner's in Oceanside Harbor.

Rock and Roll Marathon Sunday June 1
Hi Parrot Heads, It's that time of the year again. The Rock & Roll marathon is only a few months away, and we need to start getting everyone signed up. We will be having the same water stop as last year. The runners will be approaching SDPHC from the SOUTH. Our station is at Mile 13.9 -- just over halfway thru the marathon. We will be the first water station runners hit after the half-marathon milestone. The previous station is at Mile 12, so we get hit hard. We still get to show up 4:30 AM, but get to go home (or party) earlier. They will be opening Morena Blvd around noon. We are looking for volunteers. We need about 80-100. Last year we had 40 water tables. For four years, we have had one of the best water stop on the course; last year we were #4. That is because we have the best volunteers. This is due to the wonderful club members who take the time to volunteer. Elite Racing still prefers we register on-line. It makes their job a little easier to keep track of the volunteers. You can register online by clicking this link. http://www.elitevolunteer.com/er/signup_form1. If you can't click on the above link, cut & paste the above link to your browser to sign up electronically. After you have registered online, email me that you will be available on Sunday, June 1st. Thanks in advance for your help.
