I've previously worked Ironman and other triathlons carrying either media or course marshals. It's really fun and challenging riding.
Worked the Ironman Triathlon in Sacramento, Ca. this weekend carrying a course marshal. We had to respond to 5 accidents. A few broken bones and 2 ambulance rides. One looked like a broken hip. I was even involved in one of the accidents. We were stopped on the side of the road talking to a problematic rider when a woman ran into the back of my bike. Her tire hit the back of my rear tire and she hit the ground. I was able to keep the bike up with minimal effort. She was a bit bruised but otherwise OK. It was really windy and she was riding with her head down and not watching where she was going.
I did 2 laps of the bicycle course for a total of 220ish miles and it took me 7 hours.
