I am still here and have yet to receive any form of litigation. That said I have tried to stick to facts and I am not sure anyone is allowed to tell me not to summarize data that is already in the public domain. To be honest, I had to take some time off the whole Miller thing and I was also racing Challenge Penticton on Sunday.

Whilst in Penticton I received an abundance of 'thank you' and 'well done' from people I have never met before. I think they recognized my wife from the pictures. I have also received tons of Facebook messages and various other modes of communications, and I know that the vast majority have not posted on ST. I think this goes to show how important platforms like Slowtwitch really are when a group or community has a need to address a situation, the audience is far, far beyond what some of us regular users may perceive. Very few went into a Julie rant by name. Nearly all simply wanted a clean sport and a fair race and were shocked by the data and number of occurances that seem to have been missed.

The crowd funding idea is a good one, I imagine there would be a limitless amount of participation.

I had a call from the (Krista) friend who wrote the blog article on Julie. The conversation was primarily based on "I know her and I can't believe she did it" which is understandable and made me realize just how shocked people might be if we all took the skeletons out of our closet. To be fair to Krista ... She knows Julie and does not know Triathlon. She was merely backing her friend but had little idea of the intricacies that result in the evidence being overwhelming for IMC and Vancover Half.

To be honest I am not sure where we are left with this. Out of all the associations we 'belong to' and should be guardians of the sport (Triathlon BC, Triathlon Canada, British Triathlon, ITU.) none have been forthcoming with protection / research and only TriBC returned an email and facilitated a call although I have heard nothing since providing the evidence. Thankfully the businesses (Ironman / Sportstats / Ossenbrink Coaching) seem to have stepped up to the plate and worked towards a result, at least in the areas they are responsible for.

Maybe Dan can assist in providing a route through which concerns can be driven with the previously mentioned associations. Because it would appear that people are making a mockery of their races and members.
