You know I have zero issues with you.....SO, with that being said....
Regardless of your opinions, WTC has to protect themselves as a business. They can and WOULD be sued and held liable for negligence if someone suffered a serious injury or worse, happened to die during the race.
It's easy for you to sit there and rant and rave, BUT if you owned a company and had to make the exact same decision as whether or not to protect your company AND the athletes, you'd do the exact same thing WTC did yesterday for Muncie's race. If you didn't, I would question you if I were a board member. I don't care HOW well prepared you are. Anyone could have a serious heat issue. Just watch some of the Kona meltdowns. By choosing a race between June-August, you take a chance of this happening. Everyone hopes to be able to race 140.6 or 70.3 when that's what they signed up for, but if WTC (or any other organizer) has to make a decision to protect themselves, WE can't blame them. Someone WOULD sue and WOULD win 9/10 times.
