Dear So and So

[Lise]

Dear Decision Makers of Lake Zurich, Illinois:

BLECH! Again I say to you: Blech! I stamp my feet at you! I make mad faces! Also ARGH!!!

I love the Lake Zurich Triathlon that is held in your little town every August! It is the focal point of my training! This year I was going to get to do it withOUT my dear friends (whom I love a lot but who can't be bothered to train yet want to do a triathlon so I end up waiting for them in every transition so we can finish together)!

I've been checking the tri's website diligently for on-line registration. I was not freaked out that it wasn't up yet, this is not a fancy tri, so the website isn't always up to date. But today it says "2006 Race Cancelled Due To Road Construction". This stinks! I'm sure our tri is low on your priority list. Maybe it's not even anybody in Lake Zurich who makes these decisions. Maybe I should be stamping my foot and making mad faces at the Great State of Illinois and their Dept of Trans.

I am very disappointed. I will take my tri-butt north of the border and do the Pleasant Prairie Tri the next weekend in Wisconsin. I will be back to do your tri in 2007. The roads had better be FABULOUS!!!

Disappointedly yours,

L.
