Tri / Triathlon / Triathlons - do they float your boat?

The value you get from entering an Ironman event over another triathlon event is brand awareness.

For some many this means status.
For me it means less tedious conversations

Eg: co-worker: why are you alway is in the gym, come out and get
pissed, snort coke. tommy: I can't because im tapering for an Ironman
co-worker: oh.. thats cool, I think i know what this is... fair enough

This also increases levels of charitable fundraising that helps gain backing of the local authorities and community allowing racing on closed roads.

I will be expecting the event to exceptionally well run, given their funds and experience.
I just hope I don't find all the additional bs around it too nauseating

Are you targeting a Kona spot Ed?
