IMAZ Volunteer
I signed up to volunteer at Ironman Arizona, at bike special needs, along with T1. This should be interesting, because the bike course is three out-and-back loops, plus an ending section, so we'll get to see all the competitors a few times. And of course cheer for T2. :)
Check out the map. I'm not sure where bike special needs will be - I would guess at the turnaround on highway 87.
The volunteer coordinator promises that we'll be done in plenty of time to see the marathon finish. This is actually perfect - bike special needs won't need to be there as early as transition zone volunteers or swim volunteers, and we finish earlier than run course monitors or run course aid station workers.
I've seen portions of the last few hours of an ironman - the finish line turns into a giant disco party. All the spectators are screaming, the music is cranked, everybody is yelling encouragement to the athletes trying to make the cutoff.

Yes, there should be only one special needs station. Otherwise it would be a logistical nightmare to sort out which stations has a particular athlete's bag, etc.
We'll be there ready to smile and hug T2 on!!
