As I mentioned in my last blog, Sam, Kellie and I worked The Flying Pig this weekend. Saturday morning the Expo opened at 10am for participants, which meant that we had to show up early at 9am in order to get everything ready. Sam and I did something different than what Kellie did. Sam and I sat at computers and entered in all of he registration forms into a database so that the runners would be able to find their times, and other things. It took us all day to complete all of the forms. We got a little lunch break somewhere in between the hours, but for the most part we just sat at the computers and entered in the information. I kinda felt like I was working for it, but we weren't getting paid since this is volunteer work afterall.
Kellie on the otherhand was out front doing the late registration again. There were so many participants that one of the guys from the chip company had to make hundreds of extra chips and matching bib numbers because they used all of ones that they put together in the beginning for the half-marathon and marathon races. The turnout ended up to be much more than they had originally expected. I felt sorry for that guy. He was the only one that had a scanner to scan the chips and the numbers were growing at a steady pace. There were volunteers running back and forth to get the chips and bib numbers to give to the participants.
