Road Trip?

In my inbox this morning.

Congratulations Erin Ruyle. You have qualified for the 2012 USA Triathlon Olympic Distance National Championship after finishing in the top 10 percent in your age group at the Kerrville Triathlon. 
Vermont in August sounds much better than Texas in August...
The 2012 USA Triathlon Olympic Distance National Championship will be held in Burlington, Vermont, on August 18. Registration is currently open. This event is expected to sell out, so be sure to sign up soon.

The USA Triathlon Olympic Distance National Championship is the nation's premier Olympic-distance event with the top age group athletes from all 50 states forming one of the most prestigious fields in the sport. Athletes from each age group will qualify to represent Team USA at the 2013 International Triathlon Union World Championships in London, England.

Isn't Vermont the home of Ben & Jerry's? If that's not reason enough to go, I don't know what is.
