I gotta agree, yes, it's a TON of work. Living 135 miles from the 2003 Internats site, I joined the club to help put it on. I don't know what all the others members did before the race to put it on but that was a lot for them to do when they stepped up to the plate on relatively short notice. Spending 12 or more hours a day at the pond takes a toll on your mind and body. I was there to do what I could, Pit boss, retrieve boat driver, handing out T-shirts plus working on my sons boat and being a pit person from him and Craig. I needed a week off just to recuperate. Would I do it again? In a second! The things that you learn and the people you meet were worth it to me.
Anybody that puts on an event of this magnitude deserves the thanks of the racers. Until you've put one on you really don't realize what it takes.
