or be part of this general industry? as an entrepreneur? i ask because i was asked a couple of days ago: what is the biggest problem in triathlon right now? and i thought about that. and i responded...
it's the current generation of RDs putting on races. which surprised me, because i didn't think that was going to come out of my mouth.
mind, there are some GREAT race producers. i think stephen delmonte is fantastic. eva solomon. i could go down a list and give you the good ones. but, i don't have to. you know them yourselves.
you also know the RDs who i'm talking about. so, please do NOT make this a gripe session about the races you don't like, or the orgs you don't like. i'm sure we have some cry like a biatch thread for that.
the more i think about it, the more i'm of the mind that i just need to help find our industry a group of folks who're unencumbered by the fear, complacency, lack of vision, or structural constraints that keep them from moving this sport forward.
mostly, privately, selfishly, i want folks who'll put on gravel bike triathlons with me. and gravel bike races. but if your particular thing is traditional triathlon; draft legal road tri; supersprints, swim-runs, whatever, i want to make your acquaintance.
i'm not offering to hire you! i'm offering to strategically partner with you. but YOU are our own business owner. probably as a hobby second job.
who are my huckleberries? anybody out there?
