Meyrick Jones Racing: Race Meeting - Thank You Volunteers!

"wise guys" quote:

It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

- Theodore Roosevelt, speech titled "Citizen in a Republic" delivered at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910

Everything you need is already inside.

- Bill Bowerman, co-founder of Nike, legendary coach, and father of the running movement.

Race Meeting - Thank You Volunteers!

I just got back from the pre-race meeting where I met a bunch of the great volunteers that signed up to help out on Saturday morning.

I want to thank everyone that responded to my e-mail and offered to help. The athletes that you are helping have worked extremely hard to represent their countries and your assistance on race day is a service I am proud to have helped coordinate.

To all of the Vancouver Coastal Health, GF Strong, and UBC Physiotherapy volunteers as well as the Innovative Fitness trainers, my friends and family - THANK YOU for volunteering!

See you all on Saturday!
