Yesterday we saw a tsunami of cancellations and I would agree that it's the right thing to do. I would also note that it is a lot easier to take those actions in the face of a strong economy. But with each cancellation, the economy is slowing and tipping towards a recession. Will politicians have the courage to continue pulling permits in the coming months at risk of a global depression? When the human misery of bankruptcies and unemployment starts to exceed that caused by sickness and death I believe the pressure to restart life "as usual" (whatever that may mean post viral peak) may become unbearable. It will be a Hobbesian Trap.

It’s really unbelievable. I wonder if Gina is making this call? Her hands tied by corporate?
I’ve already canceled my hotel, so I’m out anyway. IMO it’s the responsible thing to do.

I wonder if IM and Oceanside are working on a new date for the race. Just trying to think of an explanation for why they would say there'd be a detailed statement in 1 week.

So is Ironman Campeche still happening this weekend? I heard PR was canned but nothing about Campeche.. guess that means it is still on and slipped in under the wire.
Registration still open... race doesn't start will 1pm on Sunday, flights are cheap, here is your chance to race in 2020...

Maybe if Gina was RD for the Boston Marathon they wouldn't have changed it.

I'd be really impressed if someone does the Boston (9/14), Berlin (9/27), London (10/4), Chicago (10/11), NYC (11/1) marathon majors gauntlet.
Edit to add London.
