IRONMAN Jacksonville Triathlon<\/a> on Saturday.<\/p>\nA large part of the race was in St. Johns County, where athletes biked through areas like Nocatee and Ponte Vedra Beach.<\/p>\n
St. Johns County Commissioner Krista Joseph said that she appreciated the athletes and families who participated, but had major concerns after Saturday\u2019s event.<\/p>\n
Joseph went to Facebook and posted this feedback:<\/p>\n
\u201cThe BCC (Board of County Commissioners) did not vote on this Jacksonville event. I can tell you all right now, after sitting in traffic for 3 hours and watching the close calls of car vs golf cart vs bikers that approval for something National like this needs to come to the BCC. Not only did I just get off the phone with the County Administrator and she was unaware of this event but also conveyed my concerns to the Sheriff.\u201d<\/p>\n
SJCFR said that all its transports from Saturday\u2019s event ranged from shoulder injuries to minor head injuries. Others were from bicycles vs. bicycles or riders hitting other objects. More calls were related to dehydration, general weakness and more.<\/p>\n
This story will be updated as we learn more.<\/p>\n
