This weekend is the Luray Triathlon - there are events on Saturday and Sunday. I decided to volunteer for both events - before I knew that the volunteer check-in time was 6:00 am. Mary is skeptical that I can meet this obligation.
The events support the United Way of Page County, and there are accessory events like a spaghetti dinner in town and the like that will make it a busy weekend. Two races are held, the International, and the Sprint, on the two days. Both fields were limited to 600 participants, and both are sold out!
The International, on Saturday, includes a 1,500 meter swim at Lake Arrowhead, 25-mile bike ride, and a 10K run. Participants are expected to complete the event in four hours or less. Sunday's sprint includes a 750 meter swim, 16.5-mile bike ride, and a 5K run.
Our friends at Appalachian Outdoor Adventures (Evergreen Outfitters is joining forces with them this Fall) are sponsors of the event, race packet pickup takes place there, and Gary will be in the International on Saturday! Best of luck to him!

Volunteer check in time at 6 am. LMAO! You're a good man, Jim.
Route marshalling the swim pylons...actually, I don't have an assignment yet. As Howard suggests, I am a bit worried about getting there on time!
