The Ogden Valley Triathlon held on September 16, 2006, turned into a duathlon (run/bike/run) as early morning conditions in the Ogden Valley dipped towards freezing temperatures. Event producers, TriUtah, considered the safety of swimmers in the cold conditions and made an early morning decision to alter the event. The race was delayed 30 minutes as organizers adjusted run courses.
TriUtah later gave TriHive the following statement:
“This was the first time in 8 years that TriUtah has cancelled the swim at any event. The extreme cold weather that we experienced was not typical for that time of year in Huntsville. Later we were told that it was the coldest weather they have had on that date in over 60 years. Early race morning, we met with local law enforcement and other race officials to evaluate the current weather and review our contingency plans. The National Weather Service was contacted, and reported that air temperatures were not forecasted to reach above freezing until late morning, and potentially not until noon. Thunderstorms were also possible throughout the morning. Due to the potential for hypothermia, the safety of the athletes came first and the swim portion of the 2006 Ogden Valley Triathlon was cancelled.”
In lieu of the swim Sprint distance racers ran 1.5 miles and Olympic distance racers ran 3.1 miles, starting at separate times.
Nathan Cisney of Ogden won the men’s Olympic race in a time of 2 hours, 26 minutes and 04 seconds, edging out runner up Keith Anderson by 11 seconds. Malaik Homo of Salt Lake City won the women’s Olympic race. Homo finished the course in 2 hours, 33 minutes and 16 seconds, beating Sara Jarvis by over 8 minutes.
In the Sprint race it was Brett Wilking of Salt Lake City finishing first in a time of 1 hour, 16 minutes and 52 seconds. Bri Klug won the women’s Sprint with a finishing time of 1 hour, 26 minutes and 19 seconds.
According to event timer, Milliseconds, 95 of the 247 registered Olympic distance athletes did not start. 146 of the 627 registered Sprint distance athletes did not start.
