Salem Spring Triathlon
This was worse than the St. George Tri. They canceled the Bike because of rain and then shortened the swim to 400 meters because of rain. I left, Running a 5k after going for a casual swim didn't seem like my idea of competition.
Are triathletes pussies? This canceling thing is getting ridiculous.

You seem to have really bad luck. I have yet to be at a tri that anything was cancelled. Quote:
You should come out and race in my neck of the woods. I doubt the girl putting it on would cancel for any reasons. http://www.highsierratri.org/junelake.html |

You are right about the event staff. I was talking to the race director when the head of search and rescue came up and asked the rd what he thought about doing the swim, the rd responded, "No I don't think so." I was so mad at him. I would have thought he would at least put up a damn fight. Your race looks beautiful, but I am already signed up for the Xango echo Tri that weekend. In a move of complete stupidity, I signed up for a Half Ironman. It is on august 9th. I didn't think I would be ready for your 70.3 on the 29th Arch.
