Hey everyone! Have you missed my lengthy emails? Haha.
Well, Treasure Island Triathlon will be taking place in less than 12 hours. Some of you may have some last minute questions or concerns, so if I do not answer them in the email, please do not hesitate to call me. I'll try to help you to be best of my ability. Karen @ 4158302371. Brace yourselves - this will be a LONG one.
Like Lucy said in her last email, you guys will either be on the Bike Course or at an Aid Station. The details of each job aren't important right now - just remember to show up
NO LATER THAN 6:45am tomorrow. It would be ideal if you could get to the island by 6:30AM because that will allow for all the nitty gritty details and last minute adjustments we may have to make. Let me warn you now, we're all (especially me!) going to be under a lot of pressure tomorrow so we will be stressed out. Please cooperate with our requests or there will be dire consequences! Be flexible - the Treasure Island staff are really unclear about what will be going on tomorrow, so there may be some last minute changes... On a brighter note: there will be
free breakfast! Most likely bagels + coffeeee. YUM.
Lunch will also be provided. Volunteers will also gain access to all the
Finish Line Food at the end of the event. Awesome, no? Powerbars + Gatorade Galore! =)
Because we have a relatively large group and will be dispersed throughout the island, I've decided to assign group leaders to each of you. You must remain with your group leaders at all times, unless otherwise instructed. You will report to your group leaders and go to them with any questions. Please go to them with any questions on race day. The names of the group leaders are bolded:
Andrew and KenAlan Eng
Lucy Cai
Talent Tang
Lucy Huang
Mindy Yu
Frances Yan

I tried my best to put friends together using educated guesses, but if you're separated from the people you want to be with, please notify me ASAP. (Call me if possible) IF YOU DO NOT SEE YOUR NAME ON THE LIST: CALL ME RIGHT NOW. We gotta get it straightened out!
Lucy included a map, but it wasn't very big/clear. The link for it is

It'll most likely be cold at Treasure Island (I heard from a native that it "never gets hot; not even in July!"), so please remember to wear a sweatshirt ! Wear your lovely t-shirt over it so everyone will know you're a volunteer. That's uber important b/c your volunteer t-shirt is what gets you all the free fooood! =D
Most importantly, please try to have FUN. I tried to group you with your friends for a reason!
Once again, please don't hesitate to call me before/on race day! 4158302371. Officers will be at the Island eary, so call us if you can't find us at the Volunteers booth (it's the green square on the map... ), CALL ME. I will try my best to direct you to the right location!
That's all the info I can think of right now. Thanks again for volunteering - none of this could happen without you!
You will be on the island until about
1PM tomorrow, so please plan ahead!
