Go. Don’t stop.
Word has gotten out through a news report that athletes would be required to stop at stop signs during the bicycle portion of the event on race day.
Triathlon officials want to quash any such notion.
“For 364 days out of the year, bicyclists need to obey the laws of the road,” said Ironman Chattanooga local liaison Zach Winchester. “But on race day we’ll get somewhat of a hall pass.”
