Thank you to everyone who has posted in here, and I mean everyone.
As usual, a Slowtwtich forum has not disappointed and allowed those with an opinion to air their thoughts, questions, concerns and support.
While this post is not to address each and every comment made here or debate the naysayers, we want you to know that we are listening/reading.
We are excited about the potential of this endurance sports facility to introduce more people to the activities we love (swimming, cycling, running, obstacle course, triathlon, SUP, kayak, etc.) in a safe and non threatening (no traffic, controlled ‘open water’, etc.) environment so that they gain the confidence and ability to race at TriHabitat or wherever they choose to enter an event.
We also look forward to being a venue where collegiate teams, training/charity groups, clubs, corporate groups, USA Triathlon and other governing body/association athletes and others can come and stay as a group or visit on a daily basis to focus on training and racing, team building and socializing without the hassles of a lot of the logistics.
We look forward to hosting organizations, like CAF and Wounded Warrior, to aid their missions to give people and our veterans with physical disabilities the opportunity to pursue a healthy active lifestyle and learn to use the equipment that will give them the ability to do so in a safe environment.
Obviously, we will put on events, not limited to triathlon, if you have thought of it or think of it be sure it is on our radar and in the plan to utilize this amazing piece of property and its facilities to the fullest extent.
We have a lot of work to do, and yes, that includes a capital raise, to bring this vision into reality.
I know I have not addressed everything and maybe thrown some fuel on the fire, but know we have a dream, a vision, a plan and the input from the fine people on this forum and elsewhere to provide input, direction, guidance, praise, criticism and keep us on our toes.
Keep it coming and I hope to see everyone at the grand opening!
