Flier's coverage of Columbia Triathlon was lacking

I scoured the May 26 edition of the Columbia Flier for a report on the Columbia Triathlon, to no avail.

I simply couldn't believe it. This is one of the best-regarded triathlons in the country. The race director, Robert Vigorito, is a long-time Columbia resident who has contributed millions of dollars to local charities over the years from race fees. The race this year featured many nationally ranked professional triathletes and the race winner broke the course record.

Please explain why the race did not merit any coverage this year.

Editor's note: A freestanding photo from the triathlon ran on page 62 of the May 26 issue of the Flier. The Howard County Times had a two-page photo spread with a copy block. This also appeared online at explorehoward.com.
