Volunteer Course Marshals – SRI-Tri 2025

Six Sandies volunteered at the annual Santa Rosa Island Triathlon. Three were on two wheels and served as Volunteer Course Marshals and three were there supporting the community and club. There were no judges to transport this year, and the event was sold out. There seemed to be a bit more traffic this year, and our three Sandie Marshals had to work extra to keep riders moving to the right (passing on the left only) and keep vehicular traffic from bunching up an ruining their ride. Most participants were smiling through the pain and enduring one heck of a breeze as they rode out across the island.

I clocked us at 137 miles, which was (more than) a few trips back and forth on the 13-mile course. This was our first year without M2 Sensei coordinating and he is sorely missed. JoeJoe, Munchkin, and I ran the course while the Cat Herder, Sam E, and Ace kept watch. After all was said and done, we rode over to Navarre Beach for breakfast at Andy D’s.
