Grateful for the opportunity to volunteer with the IRONMAN Foundation at the Arizona IRONMAN! ?? This past weekend, I had the chance to be part of something truly inspiring — the Arizona Ironman. As a volunteer, I had the privilege of supporting athletes as they pushed themselves to the limit, and it was incredible to witness their determination and grit firsthand. ?? Some of my roles as a volunteer included: ?? Being a sherpa, helping athletes transition smoothly from swim to bike phases by organizing gear, assisting athletes with any immediate needs, like helping to put on shoes, helmets, or other. ?? Catching and transporting bikes to the bike corral during transition, ensuring athletes could move smoothly between stages. ?? Handing out water, electrolytes, and bananas to help keep athletes fueled and hydrated. ?? Offering emotional support and cheering on competitors to keep their spirits high as they pushed through their toughest miles. The experience was a powerful reminder of the importance of teamwork and supporting others, whether they're racing toward a goal or facing everyday challenges. It was incredibly rewarding, filled with high energy, collaboration, and a true sense of community. I have a deeper appreciation for the mental and physical strength required to compete at such an elite level. Big shout-out to the IRONMAN Foundation, the entire volunteer team and the athletes who inspire us all - especially Sam Feliciano! Congratulations on becoming an IRONMAN and doing the damn thing! I’m proud and grateful to have been a part of this unforgettable event. #ArizonaIronman #VolunteerExperience #Teamwork #EventSupport #AthletesInspiration #Ironman #Community #Volunteering #Resilience
