Magrath is having their annual triathalon July 29 and are asking for our help. They have done some research and have found that kayakers make for the best rescue craft for triathalon swimmers. They are hoping for as many able-bodied kayakers (meaning kayakers that would most likely not create a need for rescue themselves... you should have a roll) as are willing to volunteer. This years Magrath Triathalon has a cap of 200 participants, so there will definately be a need for more than a couple of boats. We have commitment from three boaters to this point but could use a couple more. Your time would be greatly appreciated.
The commitment would be from 8 am to about 10 am at St Marys Reservoir, and I was told that we would get t-shirts and possibly food out of the deal. If you are interested in helping out, please let me know, so I can get back to Magrath with approximate numbers. Thanks.

i'll be there in spirit, but unfortunately the rest of me will be in ireland. you could let them know i'd be available should they ever invite us again
I just want to thank all of those who were able to help with this event. Magrath was very appreciative and asked that we help them again next year (July 21).
This might provide a great opportunity for members to get together for a club BBQ afterwards. The PR is great as well.
