Read about that this morning. The Galveston folks have put in a bid to host the 2017 70.3 WC when it returns to North America.
I love the Galveston race. I really do. Having the 70.3 WC there would be a joke. Imagine the Clearwater bike drafting issues but with the temperature at 100 degrees.
The drafting isn't that bad there for the 70.3 because you have people of all different levels of experience, skill, and ability. Put a hundred or more people of each AG at near similar abilities and it's a 56 mile long peloton. In ridiculously hot and humid conditions.
I hope WTC disregards that bid.
