Colchester Triathlon 2014

Sadly, there will be no results to post this year, because the race was called due to thunderstorm**.  Shortly before 8am, they announced that the race would be delayed at least an hour, and they would make the call at 9am.  Just before 9, the skies opened, lightning flashed, and everyone mourned.  Even rained out, this was still a wonderful event to attend, chatting with volunteers and hopeful participants.  I'll be back next year.

Still, it is a little weird to have all this swag for an event that didn't happen.  I guess now I know what it's like to own a "Denver Broncos 2014 Superbowl Champions" t-shirt.

** Apparently, the Lake Placid Ironman Triathlon was affected by the same storm, but I don't see any news of that posted yet.  And, of course, the rain stopped here around 11am, and the skies had brightened and the sun is threatening to show itself around noon.  Sigh.
