Cornwall Triathlon 2014

I always get excited on the Thursday prior to the Cornwall Triathlon. You will be driving down Montreal Road, and the traffic cones are all out, ready to be set up. You know the Triathlon is coming. It's kind of like Christmas, you know it's coming when you see all the lights on. This year, was a little bitter-sweet for me. It's the first year, in a long time that I wasn't a participant. I had decided to save all my bullets for next week's Canadian Iron 226. So, I was doing the next best thing volunteering.



Laura and I, and 6 other high-energy enthusiastic folks had the aid station on Anthony Street. We had a blast. Afterwards, my hands were sore from clapping so much, and my throat was hoarse from yelling. It was awesome.


We had set up a loudspeaker across the street, and were blasting the tunes. Here's the pump up play-list.
