bummer. I'm a late signer upper for everything, so, I haven't lost anything, but. This is my favorite race of the year.

....

WTC is the winner - again

shrugs shoulders...

I'm sorry but this combination of comment bothers me, if you really love a race and want to support it to help ensure it continues, why wait to sign up? Pretty sure all the marketing ploys to entice early registration are there for them to be able to count the race as viable. You are part of the reason that WTC is winning here so don't just shrug your shoulders, go and sign up for the non-corp races you want to do and make sure they hit their registration goals. Rant over.

"plus, i spoke to the folks responsible for making this decision. the fear of another split transition was not the reason. "

So the list of what the reason is NOT is getting longer. Can you share what the actual reason IS?

So what's the reason?

monterey county publishes the water levels for every month of every year going back to 1967. you can see what typically happens in that lake. if not another drop of rain fell the race would've been fine, and held with 1 transition. and another storm is ready to hit the area this week.

plus, i spoke to the folks responsible for making this decision. the fear of another split transition was not the reason.

why wait to sign up? prevent injury. many races I signed up to do, where I forced myself to train through injury to be able justify money I lost - to able to finish mediocre .

Can you let us know what the reason was?

This ruined my day

Lake San Antonio-South. Remove from enterprise fund, and become 100% managed by the County. Operate as a day-use/regional park with low impact activities such as camping, biking, hiking, and horseback riding. Remain fully open during the peak season, partially open (weekends) during off season…


LSA South and North Shores remain fully open during the peak season utilizing a reduced footprint and simplified sanitation system


LSA - South Shore be partially open (weekends only) during off season.

The County of Monterey isn't closing Lake San Antonio. The board of supervisors voted to take over operations from Cal Resorts, the company that's running it. From the board report:


I don't know what conversations occurred, but it's not a stretch to suppose that there wasn't enough time or budget to deal with the reduction in services and infrastructure at the park.

Wait, the county is SELLING the park to PRIVATE OWNERS?!? Whaaaaaaat??

That's a bummer. Public lands are falling into the hands of the rich.

Ho! Another rugby player with a triathlon problem. Hail, fellow, well met

no. either you read poorly...

Just heard the news that "Lake San Antonio Triathlon" will hold a smaller event on the same weekend that WF canceled. May 4th is packet pickup, May 5th is the race date for all events.They are planning everything at Lynch since the water level is good. Looks like they'll have a Long Course, Oly, Sprint, Aquabike, Duathlon, 5 and 10K run. Website will be up this weekend along with opening registration. All camping is in the Lynch area, so no hiking up the hill if you register for camping early. All courses will be on existing WF courses at Lynch, except the Long Tri (they'll do 2 laps of the Olympic bike course (50 miles) and 4 laps for the 12.1 mile run). Sounds like we'll be able to keep an eye on each other a lot better.

We'll posted the website and registration links here when they come available.

Sorry, we have booked all the remaining cabins.

Goleta Beach Triathlon has picked it up.
