In the last day my life has been, for the most part, a nightmare. Now will come the embarrassment.
Last weekend I participated in Rev3 Aquabike Nationals. At the end of the race, I was listed as 1st in the male 30-34 age group, as well as at the awards later that day. (and still on Rev3's website...) At which point I received the National Champions jersey. If you've chanced over my blog and / or posts, you have likely seen that I was excited about it.
I have been in contact with USAT last night and today, and in fact did NOT win the m30-34 championship. Adam Kuncel, who finished 3rd overall is the real champion. Despite being removed from the AG awards at the ceremony in the Rev3 Aquabike, he is NOT removed from the Championship AG. Confused yet? Regardless, I accepted the Jersey they were handing every other 1st place finisher on stage, and was giddy enough to not question much else.
Although I have intentionally tried to milk the "nat champ" angle, I DID NOT do so believing anything other than the fact that I was in fact M30-34 AG Champ. Nonetheless, at the end of these type of things there is always ONE person who deserves the blame. That person is ME. Any mistakes made were by me or my negligence to details.
I am very, very sorry to anyone who felt mislead by anything I either said or promoted. It was not at all knowingly done, but I apologize and take responsibility nonetheless. I am deeply sorry to the Cobb Mobb, who posted and promoted these results, which were in fact not right. Again, there was no malicious intent involved, only pride (before the fall, right?) and excitement.
Again, my sincerest apologies. Congratulations to Adam, who did an amazing job at the race.
