Extend Your Race Season - Without Burning Out

There's an easy way to add 3-5 more races to your season. It doesn't require additional training. It doesn't require new equipment, or even $1 in registration fees; and your injury risk can actually be reduced - how?

VOLUNTEER
There are a ton of great reasons to volunteer for a race in the second half of triathlon season:
  1. Support other triathletes in your club and/or community
  2. Give something back to the race organizers who shed blood, sweat, and tears to create fun races for you to do each year
  3. Cheer on new triathletes, and get inspired by their triumphs
  4. Recruit a friend who might be interested in triathlon but hasn't yet registered for one
  5. Pick up a few tips from watching race leaders in action
  6. Get more "Thank you"s in one day than you'll probably get in a full month
  7. Be a silent hero to someone's best race day ever
  8. Free volunteer T-Shirt!
