IM CDA Gets More Kona Slots
I don't totally know why?
Comments
All their market research indicated the vast majority of their athletes wanted the summer to be able to train. The problem is that they've now oversaturated the second half of the year race-wise. CDA in June had always been an option for me living in the Northeast because I like early-season races. Now with it in August, why would I go there when I have Tremblant, Maryland, Louisville, and Chattanooga all in the same 8 week span?
So, easy solution: more Kona slots! That'll get some people on the fence to head out there instead.

So they're either betting that people who are willing to go to all the trouble of training for a 140.6 (and are usually crazy Type A lunatics to begin with) and will pay both a huge race fee and the travel costs, won't go to the trouble of looking this little nugget up, or that heat waves can't happen in August. Strange logic.
Deep enough into the summer to get good training in but early enough so I have the rest of the summer to relax & spend time with the family.
Plus cooler temperature races are my friend.

Choose life… But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin’ else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you’ve got triathlon?
Even if Penticton is Aug 28th it's still, for all intents and purposes, the exact same timing. I'm sure the thinking of WTC was to try and assassinate its competition yet again. I seriously hope it backfires and they eat their ass on this.
Living life in pursuit of triathlon greatness and not pissing off my wife. Also trying to understand Dark Mark and why he's left New York yet again, but this time for Oklahoma. At least it's not Florida.
