I received an email from Shandra Wrinkle about next year's tris. This past year she and her organization, Fins, Wheels, Feet, sponsored a sprint tri in Centreville
(Virginia Run
). Next year they will host the Virginia Run sprint again, as well as, a new Oly in Montclair, Virginia. I think this will be the only other Oly in Northern Virginia, with Reston being the other. The Virginia Run event this past year was well run and organized and worth doing again. This is an excellent race for a first event.
Here is a link to their web page:

So that will give me at least three tris for next year. These two and Eagleman.
I've attached some of the text from her email

LJ and I received approval this month to direct a new Olympic distance
triathlon event in Montclair! Montclair is a beautiful community
located in Prince William County only a few miles off of Rt. 95
(Dumfries/Manassas exit
) and is located right off the Prince William County Prkwy.
The event is planned to consist of an awesome 1 mile lake swim in
beautiful Lake Montclair, a 24 mile bike course
(three 8 mile loops
), and a
scenic 10k run! The event will most likely be open to 500-600
competitors and we expect registration to open in mid January along with the
Virginia Run Sprint Tri!
Save these dates on your calendars because the "Lake Montclair
Triathlon" is scheduled to take place on Sunday, June 25, 2006, and the
"Virginia Run Sprint Tri" will be taking place on Sunday, May 14, 2006!
"Fins Wheels Feet" is also in the process of turning into a non-profit
organization! We're working on creating a new web-site and changing our
name to "Fins Wheels Feet Racing, Inc." Please continue checking
"www.finswheelsfeet.com" for all race updates and once we get the new site up
and running we will have a link to it from "www.finswheelsfeet.com"
