On Catalina Island, after 16 years in charge of the Catalina Island Triathlon, the plug was pulled on Pacific Sports llc””s  and the reigns handed over to arch rival Spectrum Sports.   Should we care?   As racers, should we support a provider who””s race we have enjoyed for years or just like the new guy as long as its the same race?   My radio show asks these questions but really, The Catalina Island Triathlon Affair is simply a good story, full of the type of intrigue that has kept the district attorney””s of Chicago and Bell County busy for years. 

Thanks for listening,
