So much for a tri in SoCal ;)
We need to spread the word about the Tiki Swim. If anyone (like me) feels cheated out of an actual SoCal beach start, we'll see you at the https://www.tikiswim.com 9/16. The 2.4 is from the pier, and the 1.2 in what we were supposed to have Saturday.
And Monty, I know I'm not the only one of us who has seen you do easy warm ups in surf that would terrify this weekend's race director. ;)
And about canceling the beach start, this is SoCal. There is no friggin way to predict high surf a couple of days out. The Tiki Swim has come close to cancelling from a storm, but waited until about 12 hours out to give the go-ahead. It should have been trivial for WTC to have a harbor swim start as a last minute option.
