When Michael Brown announced the Super League Triathlon would be coming to Penticton, it meant that after 4 decades, there would no longer be "a long distance triathlon event held in the South Okanagan" the last weekend in August.
Such a pity.
Three weeks ago, I pitched an idea to Slowtwitch readers that we should continue the tradition by having a non-supported Iron-Distance Event (not really a "race") on Sunday August 26. There was some passionate interest. Here is the update.
I'd like to start a thread here on ST to find out who out there is interested in participating in the event. It's going to be low-key, it's going to be grass roots, it's just going to be you, the elements, and the classic Lisa Bentley era course (with a few modifications to minimize disruptions and enhance safety).
Who is in?
