IMAZ 2010 Pic and Video Page
Figured since I was a volunteer this year I would start a thread of the pics and vids I take this weekend. Please excuse typos, etc.
Fun meet-up tonight and Rula Bula an Irish pub where they had dark beer that would make Tucker proud. 
**************************************************************
Chuck Grenfell enjoy a pre-race ale. This is his first IM and he is excited and really focused!
Terry Olivas is sooooo pumped! He has Kona on his mind!
Al Truscott and his wife totally engaged in a conversation with Terry's wife and happy to be here. He is doing amazingly well and vibrant even though he had a major bike crash just a few weeks ago. So glad to see him tonight!
Fun conversation over beers!
Paul Hough and Chuck Peterson enjoying their taper. Paul has Kona on his mind as well. Will be fun watching these guys race on Sunday.
David Ambrose enjoy a "light" beer during an early dinner! Not Tucker approved, but David sure enjoyed the heck out of the 4 he drank.
I have never enjoyed the IMAZ color scheme, but the locals are happy that the race is here. Lotsa good feelings as you walk around town.
