Shamrock 2011 In Pictures

Well, another great Shamrock weekend is in the books. With over 25,000 registered participants, and the affiliated charities reporting their highest donation totals ever, it was without question the most successful Shamrock yet.

Personally, I had an absolute blast. I knew that my new position as Media Assistant would be a hoot, but it proved to be even more fun than I imagined. Running around from place to place taking pictures and video, posting live race updates, interviewing elite athletes and other interesting people and hanging out with reporters was pretty exciting. Too much to type so I will just  post the pictures.

Thanks to Jerry an Amy Frostick for putting on yet another first class event, and to all the volunteers who came together once again to make it happen.
