I'm still waiting for input from many of you, about the races in this fall.

I would like know:
- races you or your team are planning to attend in this fall
- distance (olympic, sprint, mix) you or your team prefer to have
in the series
- number of races, locations, period (dates) of the race series
- any other thoughts (e.g. "inscribe me")

Remember, it will be THE FIRST OFFICIAL REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS in the
region. And we would like to make this conference a better enviornment
for all the collegiate triathletes in NE, in terms of race scheduling,
competition, organization, sponsorship, which, I am hoping, we all
will be proud being a part of.

Some of us have been working hard to make this come true, and WE NEED
YOUR INPUT for the successful first season.

So, please spend two minutes or so for us and let us know your
thoughts. I appreciate any input.

Thanks,
K
