December, the Port Elilzabeth beach front, and bikinis everywhere. All this and I get to play radio.
Lunga (ZS2LN) and Ambesiwe (ZU2ASN) from the Bisho Hammies came through to help us at the 5150 triathlon here on the Port Elizabeth beach front.
Ambesiwe, Bev and I started the morning off on the beachfront while the swim event took place. Our task was to monitor drop outs and send any medical information or race numbers from those withdrawing from the event through to ZR2TX Tony at the JOC. This is a bit over the top in that the medics have their own radio network and the race officials have a whatsapp group. After that I moved off with Bev to the run turning point while Ambesiwe went back to Lunga at the penalty tent.
This was a great learning event for Lunga and Ambesiwe, both impressed the locals and were invited back!
There will be more Hammies assisting next year in the Herald Mountain Bike Race!
