Less than 100 spots left; Treats for Troops

Hey Racers,

Less than 100 spots left for Sea Isle's Triathlon! Please spread the word-- we will sell out in the next two weeks.

On another note, I am very pleased to announce a partnership with Treats for Troops. This organization collects various goods and ships them out to our troops in the field. The list is provided by our military and it is put to very, very good use. At our registration area, we will have a table set up for people who would like to donate the requested items. After the race, we will pack up the goods, deliver them to their Partner Representative in Ocean City, who will then have them shipped out to our troops in the field. Want to make a difference? Here is how-- bring these goods to the race:
