(c/o Greater Wanup Daily News) Tensions are on the rise as year-round local residents grapple with the nuisances of noise and traffic associated with the soaring increase of self-propelled multi-sport training activities in and around the Great Wanup region of Greater Sudbury. One, and possibly more, young adult female year-round residents took to the streets yesterday to protest the rampant climb of multi-sport racing in the Greater Wanup area.
"We're used to sleds and quads, they make a lot of noise and you can hear them from miles away. But these multi-sport athletes are ninjas. Next thing you have some soccer dad with a bike worth a couple decades worth of Moose Tags sneak up on you on the road!", said the young local resident, when interviewed under the condition of anonymity, "(sic)... and these mid-life reborn multi-sport athletes need to realize there are other patrons of these community resources."
Though they did not register an official response, the Greater Wanup Triathlon Club did appear to have some potential activity during the time of the incident, when an awkward balding triathlete-ish looking dad was encountered shortly after on one of the Red Deer Lake Roads.
"I just don't see the big deal", said the local homesteader and purported multi-sport athlete, " 'Swim, bike run, fish', is the local quadrathlon, a racing sport that has been here since time immemorial, and combines the endurance racing trifecta of open water swimming, on or off road cycling, and running, with the survival pursuit of fishing and overnight camping."
"The local multi-sport training potential is tremendous", said another younger area resident, "Open water swimming, beaches, Moosees".
