A new volunteering experience at the weekend. Sunday saw the resumption of the Barry Island 10K run, and I was a volunteer at the bag drop. I chose that rather than the water station only to find that the water station was in Romilly Park. I could have wandered down at the last minute rather than having to be on the Island by 8am. 

The bag drop was good fun and well organised if a little short staffed. Each bay should have had two people but no shows meant one per bay. My race numbers went from 3000-3500. These were not the elite runners and not the total slow coaches. My bay ended up with about 100 bags in it. We had 30 minutes to watch the start of the race and get our bays in proper order number order before we were back in operation with the first of the elite runners getting back. 

 It was good fun and I'm down to work with the same supervisors in October for the Cardiff Half Marathon.
