Whee! I'm volunteering for WS100!

[mrs.jacinthe]

I got picked to help with the Rucky-Chucky river crossing and I'm so excited I can barely stand it!

Who *doesn't* want to stay up all night standing hip-deep in a freezing cold river to help runners in and out of crossing boats?  It's a freaking dream assignment!

No really, I'm super excited about this and it really is my dream assignment.  Eeeeee!

Yay! That's so exciting! I still need to figure out where we're going to go spectate. I bought one of the "look mom, no hands" shirts, because they're awesome.

The obvious answer here is no hands bridge.  

If you're bringing the kidlet, you may not want to do this, because he'd probably tucker out on the way back, but if you want to avoid the canyon traffic, you're welcome to park at my house and take Stagecoach down there.

Sweet, thank you! I need to figure out our plan

That's awesome! That would be such a fun part of the race to witness.

That is so cool! Volunteering for ultras is my favorite. I can't imagine how awesome it would be to volunteer at WS.

The coolest thing about WS100 is the volunteers.  Literally 1600+ people - mostly locals - volunteer every year to keep this thing going for 400-ish people.  And even more turn out to cheer - some ALL NIGHT LONG.  It's amazing.  

It makes me a little teary thinking about how awesome our town is.
