Honest question. When Challenge cancelled a bunch of races - for instance Challenge Atlantic City, they still invited pros to come compete anyway. I realize that most pros are not going to put in a lot of travel to go race, but almost every pro I know races some local triathlon to them. Do you have the same view for those pros doing those local races? If not why the differing view here.
Are you really asking this or are you trying to be obtuse? Call me obtuse, but I think racing a WTC santioned Ironman is certainly different than racing a 'local' race. Are you submitting a podium finish performance bonus for this race?
I have not asked for any performance bonuses and I would not expect any. I didn't pump up the fact that I was going to race, nor did I ask for any special recognition post race. I was going to craft a social media message with the simple message, "occasionally as pros we get lost in the search of money and forget why we got into sport for the first place #ForTheLoveOfTheGame". But since there were no photographers there was no decent finish photo so I didn't bother.
And yes I asked if there was any special sanctioning from WTC in regards to this particular issue. There is not according to Heather. I am sure when/if Dan/Herbert do some reporting on this issue they will figure it out.
