Ironman California cancelled; Ironman Waco and Great Floridian wrap-up; Ironman purchases Fulgaz virtual riding platform.

Hi all,

Here is your weekly TT Times newsletter:

Weekend race report:

- The highly anticipated Ironman California in Sacramento was cancelled 45 minutes before the race start due to near-record setting rainfall (almost 5'' of rain in 24hrs). The men's pro field that assembled for this race was possibly the most competitive field of the season.

- Ironman Waco was Saturday in Texas. Congrats to Tri Town employee Kevin Lassen and others from Boise for a great race!

- Tri Town Coach Ricardo Valverde took 5th overall and won his age group at the Great Floridian full distance triathlon. Congrats Ricardo!

Events I'm looking forward to:

70.3 Oceanside is Saturday, October 30th.

Industry news:

The Ironman Group has purchased Australian virtual riding platform Fulgaz. Fulgaz is known for its real-world videos of famous cycling routes around the world (some popular Boise routes have been recorded too). We can expect to see Ironman courses on Fulgaz soon, providing a helpful training aid to athletes preparing for a race.

Quote that struck a chord:

"Quality means doing it right when no one is looking."

This quote from Henry Ford was mirrored in more recent times by Colin Powell:

"Always do your very best. Even when no one else is looking, you always are. Don't disappoint yourself."

Have a great week!
