Interesting Information about the Triathlon:
Bitter-sweet because of the death of Terry Smith on the same day. Terry had a perfect attendance record even after fighting cancer in 1994. The remaining two who finished all 24 Triathlons are Rich Uhrig and Neil Medoff.
Paul Hartke finished his 20th Triathlon. He said Reston created a running infection. Paul's home hosted the post-race party for many of those years.
The police got a raise from $35 per hour to $50 per hour. There were 30 policemen; each worked a minimum of 6 paid hours. Mooring Financial Corp. paid the full amount.
