I'm a little surprised that there has not been a thread on this. I realize that there aren't that many elite Jewish triathletes out there, but there are some. Even if you're not very religious (and I'm not), this is a pretty significant holiday. I am seriously ashamed that WTC thought it was okay to have Kona on this date. Could they honestly have not had it the following Sat? Thoughts?
Just for reference, it's not like I could have raced Kona. I chose to focus on 70.3s/Vegas this season. But had I chose to focus on 140.6/Kona, I can't even imagine how upset I would be. Heck, I am upset that Rev3 Anderson, SC is this weekend and I can't race it!
Finally, if you disagree with me, as I'm sure many will, that is fine. I'm not looking for WTC to show preference or recognize any specific group; I just think this oversight is unacceptable.
