Tri Goddess Tri

Dear Tri Goddesses,

I imagine this email is not unexpected. With all that is happening in the world right now, you would likely question if Tri Goddess Tri was to go on as planned.

We have been looking at all possibilities to be there on June 28 and as part of our research learned that Corona derives from a Greek-through-Latin word for garland, wreath or crown (as in Coronado). The name refers to the characteristic appearance, under an electron microscope, of virions, the infective form of the virus. These virions have a fringe of large, bulbous surface projections that create an image resembling a crown or a solar corona. Kind of like a goddess, right?

But then....Virus began life as a Latin word with the same spelling that meant “poison,” specifically the venom from a snake or spider.

That part is not good. For that reason, we are going to postpone the 2020 Tri Goddess Tri to August 23, 2020. Same place, same time of day.

We understand that this new date may not work for all of you...and we also know that that virus may not cooperate on that date either.  We do have two other options:

1. Tri Goddess Tri 2021
To defer your registration to our 2021 race, please follow deferment instructions here. If you are choosing this option, please do so before May 17, 2020. 

2. Another Epic Race
To transfer to another Epic Race, you will find all upcoming events, both "live" and "virtual" at epicraces.com. To transfer you registration to any 2020 Epic Race follow these instructions. I HIGHLY recommend choosing a virtual race if you choose this option. Bulbous surface projections can't stop a virtual race.

If you do nothing, you will be in the Tri Goddess Tri on August 23, 2020. My recommendation is to stay put if at all possible. If you do nothing, you will be automatically in the August 23 race. 

When I started Tri Goddess Tri in 2009, I was nervous and unsure about how it all would play out, but never in a million years did I expect a virus to get in my way at any time.

We will make this happen this year, some way, some how.

May we offer comfort to those whose loved ones have died. Bring peace to those living with uncertainty. Give patience to those who are quarantined and unable to move freely in their communities.

As always...

Be fit, be well, and keep smiling,

Eva Solomon

Founder, CEO, Epic Races
