Hey Triathletes!!
I heard this rumor on the run this am, and found this on the web
site!!!!!

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED FOR 2010

A statement from course director Jon Atherton of AA Sports:
In 2009 an older couple entered this very busy park and
stopped to read an informational sign just inside the main gate. A
participant who was returning to the park near the end of the bike
segment of the race was forced to slow down and go around the vehicle.
While passing the stopped vehicle, the participant shouted a series of
expletives at the driver who was not even aware of the cyclist's
presence - all of which transpired right in front of the Park Ranger.
The result – the event can happen ONLY if the Transition Zone can be
moved to the small grassy area at the park entrance, which is simply
not feasible. This course modification would have made the venue
disjointed and would degrade the quality and safety of the event. We
apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused the athletes
aiming to participate in this year's event.
