I stand corrected

<< First USAT can't supply insurance or rules for IM's

if you are going to post crap like that, at least get your facts straight. You are amounting to nothing more than a troll at this point.

ooohkay...then correct me (explain why you think it is "crap", without any explanation from you):

I was under the distinct impression that from my recent IM racing experience and USAT communications (including the USAT newsletter):

• USAT does not provide the rules to IM events
• USAT does not provide Insurance to IM event
• USAT will not provide any water quality information (not even who tested it) even when asked for it

And for bonus points, explain USAT made the incredible statement that they shut down the New York City waste treatment facility to provide clean water forthe NYCTri.

That seems to be a city test, not from IMNA directly. If I remember, Madison provides those test results for all their beaches. Also, it's not a matter of whether or not USAT can supply insurance or rules. It's that IMNA stubbornly chose a different way of enforcing essentially the same rules USAT has always had.

I can't open the file on this computer. What do the results say?

I was planning on doing the Gatorade swim tomorrow. Am I gonna die or what?

Add a www prior to cityofmadison.com

it says:

"The MDPH evaluates bacterial water quality conditions at the Monona Terrace location for Ironman Triathlon before and during the swim event. The area is not a designated City of Madison beach during other times of the summer. The area by the swimming course was sampled on 8/31/05 with excellent bacterial quality results (see above). The swimming conditions are very good."

Do you think it will be ok after all those athletes pee in the water? Taper paranoia is starting! See you in Crosse Plaines?
