Just wondering if anyone is planning on doing the race this year? I was planning on doing it, but am kind of on the wall now, because of the jellyfish influx that is expected. They do have a backup plan, but I am not all that sure about paying all that money for what seems to be more like a duathlon than a triathlon. Just wondering what everyone else is thinking.
The race is the morning of Day 8 after the full moon. I figured there should be no jellyfish problem… infact, a month ago, that was their response too.
The most current e-mail going around says:
- 1500 Swim on Saturday, 4pm
- Race Morning: 5K run, 40K bike, 10K run.
Then somehow… they have two categories. One being the Sunday results only, and the other combining the Saturday swim.
Obviously disappointing. Although… two days of fun.
Plus. I suck at swimming, and I crush dreams on the run. So… Maybe I don’t mind. =)
PS: Is that a crying baby I hear in the background?
Although Im kind of in between the Honolulu and the Kings Trail on Maui, Ill probably just sign up anyway, it should be pretty fun no matter what. And Terry no she is not crying, I just fed her.
