Master 2356 Westlake Village , Ca. | Subject: RE: 70.3 WC moves to Vegas.... Vegas is usually really nice in Sept....but there is a chance it could be HOT! All on the same course. Bummed that the WC will probably be on same weekend as Malibu Tri....have to play that by ear. |

Elite 3371 | Subject: RE: 70.3 WC moves to Vegas.... Kind of a bummer for me. No longer in driving distance and a harder bike course. I have no hills to train on, so do better at flat courses. Yes, I know. |

Accdg to Empfield's conversation with the RD (over on that board), no.... but.... you never know. Definitely not for 2011. 2012? I hope not. I would kick myself for never having gotten to do it. Maybe 2011 will be the year, as I understand they will have the ITU long course as well as SM half. |

Champion 9430 No excuses! | Subject: RE: 70.3 WC moves to Vegas.... Very interesting. Suddenly I have a bit of interest in the 70.3 series. What a week for triathlon in the news, times they are a changing. |

Master 3546 Millersville, MD | Subject: RE: 70.3 WC moves to Vegas.... This will help break up the draft packs some, hopefully. I think you'll see that those who want a real "world championship" for this distance will embrace the move. |

Elite 3779 Ontario | Subject: RE: 70.3 WC moves to Vegas.... From a purely selfish perspective, I wonder what this does for the Muskoka 70.3? We've had Craig Alexander and other top pro's race this event every year - and of course CA won 3x in a row. But it's on the exact same date as the Vegas WC. |

Elite 3088 Austin, TX Gold member | Subject: RE: 70.3 WC moves to Vegas.... This would make me actually consider taking a 70.3 WC slot. I didn't even bother before knowing what a disgusting draftfest Clearwater is. |

Champion 5868 Urbandale, IA | Subject: RE: 70.3 WC moves to Vegas.... While I am not a big fan of the WTC, I applaud this move and will give them credit for listening to the racers that have been disappointed in all of the drafting in Clearwater. Now, whether this is a move to make sure that the WC race stays credible in the racing community or to make sure that it continues to sell out and attract sponsors makes no difference to me. It is a move in the right direction (sorry Florida folks). |

Coach 10487 Boston, MA | Subject: RE: 70.3 WC moves to Vegas.... tougher course? heat? and Vegas? It almost makes me want to go do the 70.3 again, mmmmm... |

Master 1927 Guilford, CT | Subject: RE: 70.3 WC moves to Vegas.... ya, I would have stuck around for sure and grabbed the rolldown this year if they did it a year sooner. I think it just got a whole lot tougher to get into this one. No more rolling way down every qualifying race. |

Pro 4675 Wisconsin near the Twin Cities metro | Subject: RE: 70.3 WC moves to Vegas.... Just as I was contemplating eating my Clearwater entry fee due to lingering fatigue from my double IM season, I may go after all just to see what Clearwater is like and then be able to compare it to Vegas in future years.... |

Extreme Veteran 590 Seattle | Subject: RE: 70.3 WC moves to Vegas.... Yeah, this makes me much more interested in qualifying. Much easier to convince spectators to come to Vegas than the non-Miami part of Florida! Plus Vegas still has a lot of nice and cheap hotel rooms. |
