Ironman sells out everything in sight as they are the only game in town. It would seem to me that the market is prime and ready for a competitor to step up. Someone who knows a thing or two about marketing and can snag the overflow from Ironman races. I know the logistics of putting on a race like this is a nightmare but for the right person like a Keith Jordan (Timberman), I think they could make it happen. Timberman is a perfect example of an area which has no Ironman events within 5 hours and its a great setting. Start in an area like this and slowly build it up. Nothing worse than a monopoly.

Any thoughts????
