RE: [Tri RATS] Reston Triathlon

Thanks also to everyone who responded with their experiences with this
event. I appreciate it!
I know that I'll be at the computer on Tuesday night, along with a lot of
you! :)

And God bless the volunteers. :) I can never thank them enough for being out
there!

Cheers,
