Announcement from Skip Gilbert @ USA Triathlon:
Dear Potential Olympic Trials Athlete,
Our plans to host the Olympic Trials event in Honolulu have
unfortunately changed because the state of Hawaii has denied us a
significant financial grant. While that news is disappointing, I am
thrilled to announce that our National Events and Sport Performance
teams have worked quickly to secure what I believe will be a superior
event on April 19th, 2008 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The Trials will be
run in conjunction with the 2008 Collegiate National Championships.
Full details on the event will be forthcoming in the very near future.
The course that has been designed will offer terrain similar to
Beijing and the event has the full support of the city of Tuscaloosa.
By holding the event just after the Collegiate National
Championships, over 1,000 collegiate triathletes will be able to
witness your inspiring performances and cheer your efforts in your
quest for the Olympic Team. Hopefully our switch to a more economical
travel destination means that additional family and friends will be
able to support you.
In closing, I hope that you will join me in the excitement of this
announcement and I wish you luck in your preparations for the Trials
and the full 2008 racing season.
Skip
