Subject: This weekend's My first/My next/Bigfoot triathlons cancelled Having done one of their races several years ago, I'm glad to see that this company's safety record has finally come back to bite them in the bum. Too bad for the racers... but fortunately, there are lots of other good (not to mention TriBC sanctioned) races out there to choose from to finish off the season. From the government of B.C. today...
