Redding Ironman Triathlon Water Safety Crew
Details
The Redding Ironman Triathlon needs kayakers on Whiskeytown Lake to provide assistance to the triathletes as they swim the first leg of the triathlon. It appears as though this leg starts at the Oak Bottom Beach. We will kayak alongside swimmers for the 1.2 mile course finishing at the Oak Bottom Boat Ramp. Exact starting location will be announced shortly.
I've done this before and the Ironman organization treats their volunteers well. It can be fun. It is certainly exciting.
Aside from accepting this invitation, you will need to complete registration with the organization at this website:

As you complete it, tell the organization that you belong to the group "We Ski II." Of course, you will need to provide your own kayak, equipment, vest, and transportation.
