Bridge to Brisbane 200930 August 2009
Bridge to Brisbane is the annual fun run event in Brisbane to raise funds for the Heart Foundation where at least 40,000 people will running across the Brisbane area
Gavin and me signed up for our very 1st volunteer attempt (so unlike us hor..but everything got its 1st time de lah..)...Surprisingly, there are alot of volunteers from all walks from life, and a lot of Asians too..
I thought we will be doing like you know, handing out drinks to those tired marathon runners ah..timing and stuff like that..but end up we were allocated to the fruit tent, where I cut up giant watermelons ...to give out to the finished participants..This is the 1st time I cut so many watermelons in a row and in record speed as well..its actually very stress-busting too leh..haha
These people already completed their marathon..we are just on our way to the Volunteer Tent
We have our own volunteer cap and shirt too..we now wear the cap out together for our daily walk (very healthy
leh..we now easily can walk 5km every day)
We sort of made our escape after an hour's plus..haha (by right we signed up to do 3 hours lah)..but my hands already got blisters and Gavin's back is struggling with picking up the giant watermelons for the entire time..
Then we walked around the event, end up got two bags of goodies packs back...haha..got mags, sample sachets of alot of weird stuff for eg meal replacement smoothies..and environmentally friendly water bottles..Gavin's particularly happy about getting all the goodies...lol..
I think its quite fun actually..but me and think one time will be enough, me and Gavin were thinking about joining the fun run itself next year..
