Stormed-out triathlon disappoints athletes
Planning can only get you so far. The course was set, the bikes were oiled, and the running shoes were laced to perfection—but wait, who called Mother Nature? This was the harsh reality Sunday morning when a thunderstorm forced the cancellation of the 15th annual Lawrence Memorial Hospital Triathlon.
SPORTS BRIEFS AND SCORES
The nearly 450 professional and amateur athletes were scattered over the course when the storm hit. Almost 30 swimmers remained in the water and about 300 bikers on the bike path. This created tense moments among the crew who rushed to gather the athletes.
"We were on the water with the crew from Channel 6 when it began to lightning," said Amiie Gorrell, recent KU graduate and public relations intern for the amniac. "Trying to get them on shore and then take care of all of our athletes made for some scary minutes."
KU graduate and former KU swimmer, Amy Meyer, was competing on a team with two other Lawrence residents. She'd just finished her leg when it began to rain.
"I was in the water and could feel the temperature begin to drop and the sky get darker," she said. "I didn't figure my teammates would be competing."
"Most of all, I'm sorry for the athletes," Gorrell said. "They train for months, only to be forced out by the weather. I wish we could make it better, but you can't exactly plan around Mother Nature."
After the rain let up, officials announced the triathlon had been canceled with no guarantee of a reschedule.
