Stumbled across the Shy Giants story as told by Lynn Van Dove and found it worth sharing:
"The site will consist of several episodes telling the story of Ironman's "Aloha Years", between 1978 and 1990, when Ironman was “more than just a race”. The site will tell the story from Hawaii to Canada to Japan and beyond, but with particular focus on Ironman Canada. Each episode will feature video, photos, text and documents. The aim is to create a record of the organizational and inspirational contributions of a number of key women in the creation and development of ultra-distance triathlon."

Really puts into perspective how much has changed since the early days, and the pervasive affect of the politics surrounding the old IMC.
Edit: apparently, politics are alive and well as LVD is going after SK over on the IMC Facebook page.
