I just spoke to Bill Burke who is the RD for the Honolulu Triathlon and he informed me that the 2006 event will not take place this year due to scheduling conflicts . The event was scheduled during Memorial Day weekend and the city's resources would be overloaded. Also JAL, the event sponsor would have no time to change their scheduling. Mr. Burke let me know that the website will be updated within a couple of weeks. The website currently notes that the 2006 event has not been finalized.
On the bright side, he let me know that the event will happen in May or June 2007 and 2008 as an ITU points series but wasn't too sure if it would be a World Cup event. He spoke to the US Olympic Committee and said it could possibly be another qualifier in 2008.
One more question I asked was, since my entry from last year was rolled over to 2006, would it be rolled again to 2007? He let me know that I am the first one entered for the 2007 event. :) I told him I don't want 1 as my race number cause then I'd have a bulls eye on my back.
Aloha,
John
