Triathlon Cancelled!
Check out the surf! We went to the Gold Coast (45 min drive from our house) for a sprint triathlon this weekend. However, due to unfavorable weather conditions, the race was cancelled - see above photos. We weren't actually supposed to swim here where the photos were taken. The race venue was up the coast a few kilometers from here in a more protected area. The age group race turned into an aquathlon (just the swim and run) since the race officials determined the roads were too wet and windy for biking. My favorite part is the bike, so with the winds and rain coming down, it was easy to talk myself out of racing.
Jim was signed up to race with the elites. He was really looking forward to it as there were some big names scheduled to race - plus it was draft legal. It would have been his first chance to race with the big boys in a draft legal race (ITU style). His race was cancelled all together. There is rumor that they may reschedule it for next weekend. If that's the case, he'll have to miss it since we'll be out of town. Stay tuned to find out where we're going...
