Way way too much time commitment if one, imo, has any real value in being a family person. And one usually gets to race so few races.
I may end up racing like 20 races this year or more, never needed a long swim, bike or run, and am home after lunch to still have a life.
And my wife goes to me at all my races and helps since we are not there for that many hours.
That's a load of crap. It's entirely possible to train for an IM and still spend a lot of one's time with one's family. Just because you can't see a way to do it doesn't mean it can't be done.
