I just noticed this on TriCalifornia's website and thought I'd pass it on (might have been posted already, but its news to me). Escape has sold out lightening fast (less than 2 hours this year) on-line. TriCalifornia has announced some major changes.
First, there will be qualifying spots at a series of races across the U.S. These will basically be 5 races spread through the USAT regions. There is the Great Lakes Escape, The Great Florida Escape, Scott Tinley's Dirty Adventures, etc. (races and dates on-line at www.tricalifornia.com).
Also, instead of a first-come/first-serve entry system, there will be a series of random drawings. The first drawing is for a pre-determined number of entries out of a pool of triathletes with 5 or more Escapes participations. The next is for triathletes with 3 or more. Then the next is to select 2 people from each state. Finally, there will a general pool. All people in earlier pools not selected will roll-down into the later pools.
Also, there will be corporate relay teams.
