Subject: Greater Cleveland TriathlonOK, I don't REALLY want to b***h about this race, but I do want to know from those of you with experience, how often has this event included a swim? Last year, and again today, the swim was cancelled due to rough water. Now, I am quite sure the effort taken to put this together is tremendous, and I can really understand if the organizers are reticent to change the course. But this course doesn't seem to be working. The swim portion is WAY too subject to weather. I like the bike route - I find it very challenging. But I don't think I will register for this event next year, because in my brief experience, it hasn't been a triathlon. So, again, from those of you with experience, is my impression correct? I don't really want to do a duathlon - I want to swim. So, should I give this race another chance? FYI, the race was established in 2003, so this was apparently the 7th edition. Statistically, two consecutive swim cancellations don't look good to me. Scott |
