Sanders will probably be happy with this.

"to blame"?

i dont fault them at all for making decisions they feel is best for their state.

Fair. ;)

So does Sanders still do Copenhagen, or take the added time to find another race with more prep?

I'm not even mad, as I've said before. Early info is better than I expected, if it happens.

Real info coming out months before the race? Maybe they've leaned a lesson and realized it's better to rip the band-aid off and let us get over it sooner rather than later.

I hope it can happen in February. But honestly I really don't want to go there if the community doesn't support it anyway. They are supposed to be a PART of the race. A cheering, happy crowd. If they don't want me there I don't want to be there, regardless of why.

I just hope to hear that we expect things to be better by Feb, and that it will be a fun place to be by then. Annoying that my first Kona is running into this so hard, but way more annoying for the next person that needs an ICU bed that can't get one.

So do all the races to Dec 31 2021 turn into Feb 2022 qualifiers?

Well played by you too Dan! I am going to bring you and turningscrews a 6-pack to the Slowtwitch gathering!

This is great, imo. Now we won't need to see the best talent sandbagging or skipping any of the big races this fall

I for one hope there’s an apology coming to 907tri after the world jumped all over him for “clickbait” in https://forum.slowtwitch.com/...anceled%3F_P7566706/.

Why? At the time the title was 100% click bait and was edited by Dan, and technically it still would be as I have not seen any "official" word confirming the speculation. He/she could of said "My 8-ball tells me Kona will be cancelled" or a number of different lines...I stand behind me calling out the click bait!

Slowman is gonna need the Governor of Hawaii to bless the ST party in Feb. Probably best to just invite the Governor so he issues the permits for said party !

Good call...here is the link to send an invite: https://governor.hawaii.gov/...overnor-to-an-event/

I’m glad they are doing the right thing. But it still stinks to be out 50% of the rental. I hope that some pressure is put on AirBnB and the like to do a better job with refunds.

Blu will be happy too

....and maybe Flora Duffy will change her mind and accept Ironman's invitation.

She can just go to Kona for a January training camp, do a 5 day taper and get another long 8:50 training day in on Feb 5th. That would be awesome. Then she can go get ready for ITU season off that base work
