I was just told by someone who would know this is the last year in Haines City.
Anyone have an insight? I know it was at Disney for several years and moved around 2011. He said either Disney or Clermont. I've worked for Disney my entire adult life and I'd be surprised if it went back there.
Just curious!
Interestingly I was talking with someone who also should know who indicated the opposite - that there was a long term agreement. Just hearsay of course. I did the race at Disney a few times and it was OK although the logistics were difficult. There is so much construction/development on the Disney bike course now that it could be difficult to set up a good ride. I think the Intimidator/SommerSports has Clermont venue locked up for right now, and unless there is significant detente achieved between the respective groups, I don't see it moving here. It's a shame because Clermont would be a superior venue, and the bike course could be amazing, with the run on the trail. Just my 2cents.
Also, from your race schedule, looks like I'll be stalking you to Florida 70.3, Texas and North Carolina. Train Safe. |
