> Similar to 2007, there is a need for Amateur Radio Support for the 
> Buzzards
> Bay Triathlon at Lloyd Demarest State Park for Sunday September 28th, 
> 2008.
> The triathlon starts at 8 AM so we will likely need Hams to be at the 
> state
> park area and/or into assigned positions between 715-745 AM. The event is
> starting an hour earlier than last year due to the tides running different
> for this year events versus last year's event. In addition, the bike race
> part has been cut down from 20 miles to 14 miles so this will likely 
> result
> in a shorter day then last year. Given the earlier start and the shorter
> race part, the event will likely be done some time between Noon and 1 PM
> versus ending between 1 and 2 PM as seen last year. It could be done 
> earlier
> but I would say plan on a 730 AM-1 PM day just in case.

> I spoke with Tim Richmond, the race organizer, and he will give me the 
> maps
> and other appropriate logistical information in the next few days. If you
> recall from last year, Tim runs a very well organized event and is 
> counting
> on our support to assure that it is well organized.

> I realize this is somewhat short notice but with the various SKYWARN and
> Hurricane Net Amateur Radio Activations, this has just now surfaced to the
> top of my To Do list so I appreciate any help that can be provided. Please
> let me know if you're interested. Thanks!
