Really? You honestly think people would rather do the Apple which didnt run in 2017 because they couldnt find a race director than Super League? And you really think Super League is funded by Mike?

You think athletes would rather do another same old olympic distance race vs 3 days of racing (or 1 if they want) that includes a Time Trail on a close car circuit at Area 27? Once they finish they can hit a beer tent and watch the best pros in the world race?

I just dont see a comparison at all. I do see the old guard Triathlon world including BC tri and Trican desperately wanting to hold onto the past though with ridiculous fees to put a provincial and national events, archiac rules, and cost overhead to host delegates who add no value....like the trican president who decided it was better to do a social ride than be at finish lines of world championships events at ITU Multisport. One race where Canada won gold!

..I did Apple once 2015. 2 lap run course with shit signage i was sent off course. . I had to drive an hour Saturday to rack my bike at a specific time of day. Then wait an hour. Then come back next day and race. This isnt ironman, its an olympic distance event. Expensive with a bag of Apples for the AG win. I found the whole thing overly bureaucratic and it wasnt even a national event! Good luck working with Trican. Overly bureaucratic and expensive.

Anecdotal but i know a few people who havent done Triathlon in years buying a bike and doing super league.

Now Super League might not work, but at least its fresh and brings new blood into sport, and is not living in the past like Penticton so often does.
