For 35 years Annandale’s Heart of the Lakes Triathlon (HOLT) was held on the third Sunday of July. But the 2022 HOLT Triathlon was canceled and it does not look like the swim-bike-run event will be coming back, at least not at this point. According to Race Director Jeff Holmberg, HOLT 35 was one of the best years ever. “At least we all thought so,” Holmberg said. “When we met in November to review the final financial report, we found out we lost money on the race, the first time in anyone’s memory. “I was shocked, as I had cutbacks in many areas.” Registration was opened on Jan. 1, 2022, and the HOLT board met in early April.
