I kinda hate ironman for how they wussify their races. I loved the original Buffalo Springs Lake triathlon! I t was f..ing hard and hotter than Hades. They even had their own „energy lab“. Then Marty died and the race was sold and then ironman moved it into the city of Lubbock and then they cancelled it…
Similar with Austin, but possibly it was because Austinates had complained about 2000 cyclists glomming up their roads.
Same reason we now get to bike circles on someterrible tollroad in Houston…ugh! Need i go on?
I guess you didn‘t rant last time, so I‘m ranting this time.

Money, money, money!
Ironman could learn a lot from Challenge Roth?..

Yeah, I think it's a bit of a problem in marketing/selling v. expectations.
