Just a quick note this morning to say congratulations to all the participants, organizers, and town of Luray for bringing off another excellent edition of this event. With 600 participants on both the Saturday and Sunday triathlons, the event was fully booked. I hope everyone had a great race and will come back next year.
For our part, Mary and I joined the United Way volunteers to be part of the rest of the action - we were part of a variety of fun tasks, and I have to admit it's very rewarding to be a part of it all. Among our activities - making PB&Js for the participants to quickly refuel after they finished; course guide on the water (Jim) - in a canoe with one of the lifeguards; and transition area bike checker at the end of the race. I don't know that I will ever participate as a swimmer, biker, or runner - or all three, but there's no lack of fun stuff to do behind the scenes.
Also a big kudos to the AOA gang today - everybody there took part in the races: Andy, Gary, Howard and Linda. That's a real commitment to adventure tourism, gang! Congratulations!
