Due to my holiday schedule there will be no Digest tomorrow, Friday
18, 2008.

The Digest will resume Friday, January 5, 2008.

In the meantime we are including the following message regarding the
Island Triathlon Series.

Island Triathlon Series - Official Announcement:
As a result of some operational challenges, we have made the
difficult decision to postpone the inaugural Island Triathlon Series™
tentatively until March 28th 2009.

It is our vision to create a unique property that redefines the sport
of triathlon. Given the complexities of the event from a logistical
perspective, the substantial financial resources required, and our
reputation for excellence as a 4 time international award-winning
event producer, we require more time to put our best foot forward.

Our dedicated international team has worked excruciatingly hard to
get this event off the ground and help grow the sport we have all
become so passionate about.

I personally have been so touched by the outpouring and continued
support of the TCI Tourism Board, our pro-athletes including world
champion Chris McCormack, celebrity athlete Andy Baldwin, media
partner Triathlete Magazine and many more.

We are pleased to let you know that all key partners are still in
place for 2009 including the television networks, celebrities and
many of the top pro-athletes from around the world.

I will keep you updated on our progress.
