Judi
Carbary inquired as to why only one race
director has responded to the letter
requesting race directors to participate in
the duathlon series. Melanie suggested to
Judi that she appeal directly to the race
directors individually to solicit their
participation. It was noted that a number of
them will be attending the meetings next
weekend and that this would be an excellent
opportunity for Judi and her committee to
solicit participation.
