I'm curious about the triathalon scene, and would quite like to try one or two at some point (or more if I find I really like them), and am kinda curious as to what the atmosphere is like and what goes on in the transition areas. I figured the easiest way to do this (well, possibly not the easiest, but what may be the most insightful/fun, would be to go and volunteer at an Ironman).
Is this a foolish thing to do, considering atm I have no idea? The last thing I want to do is slow down the athletes in any way or make their race experience any less than the best.
Also what do the jobs actually envolve, I think getting one of the transition area jobs would be of most interest to me (although people have said the body marking can be good :D) but the descriptions are a weeney bit vague and I'd rather know more acuratly what I'd be letting myself in for.
Thanks for any info you can give me.
