BP Oil Updates
My wife found this announcement on IMFL and the oil spew. Thought I would forward it along:

For some reason, I can't find a blog that said that IMFL is considering a last minute move to Orlando and Lake Clermont. Probably internet conspiracy theorists, but newsworthy. In any event, if anyone hears anything more current please post.

From the Walton Sun:
“It’s five months away from Ironman Florida, and Race Director Ben Rausa has identified five bodies of water as possible venues to relocate the 2.4-mile swim on Nov. 6: Carl Gray Park, Lake Powell, the Intercoastal Waterway, St. Andrews State Park and Deer Point Lake.
“More than likely we’re going to be closer to town,” Rausa said. “We don’t want to lock in, but we want people to know we’re looking at places.”
Rausa stressed there will be a full-scale triathlon, not just a 112-mile bike and a 26.2-mile run, but the logistics of having to relocate the swim would mean two transition areas and having to rack almost 6,000 bikes twice. Rausa will host a meeting on Aug. 3 with local law enforcement and government officials to help determine the best alternative, if needed, to stage the swim.”
Those seem like more plausible alternatives than Clermont.
where are those places in relation to PCB? I've already got the condo lined up (I suspect lots of folks have) and the cancellation policy is... well... it isn't is a better way to put it. I think I'd get stuck losing the deposit and, if I remember correctly, charged for the entire trip unless they can rebook (and odds are slim to none they'd be able to rebook). Hmm...
thanks.
