We wrote about the CAF previously when their offices caught fire…. Fire has again wrought havoc on them - this time the San Diego fires we’ve all seen on the news. Yesterday they announced the 14th annual Sempra Energy San Diego Triathlon Challenge, originally scheduled for Sunday morning, has been canceled because of the wildfires that have plagued San Diego County this week.
“The safety, well-being and enjoyment of all of our event participants was the major factor in our decision-making process,” Virginia Tinley, executive director for the CAF, said Wednesday in a press release. “At this point we do not know what the air quality will be like on Sunday. We are also cognizant of the great losses suffered by many of our friends and neighbors across the county. We believe that after four days of severe disruptions that affected more than 500,000 San Diego County residents, and with an uncertain air quality forecast for Sunday, it is best not to proceed with out event.”
