Jack,

I wanted to tell you how impressed I am with your triathlon. Your volunteers were so kind and willing to help the athletes, it was a pleasure to visit race in West Yellowstone. In addition, you and your wife have a wonderful resort. Your course was well marked...it was actually a picture perfect off-road triathlon, loved it.

While the actual race was great, it was the atmosphere that sets your race apart. Your race and the people have a very unique spirit. It is hard to explain, I have been to a lot of races, but never have a I won a race and had so much emotion and positive feelings after. I did not know Janet but I have no doubt that the unique atmosphere of positive attitudes, compassion and caring are attributed to the type of person she was and the people she touched throughout her life.

You and your family have done an amazing job, Janet would be proud of you. I am thankful that I had a chance to share the spirit and memories of your race, resort, and family. I will make every attempt to return in the following years.

In addition, tell your son to keep training, triathlon is a wonderful sport, it will bring him great fulfillment. With consistency in training he will see dramatic improvement in is athlete performances. Please tell him if he has ANY questions, regarding training or triathlons around Montana, to email me at this address.

Again, thank you so much to you and your family for the opportunity to share in Janet's memory and to exercise the talents I have.

Take Care,
