I agree completely. The fact that people get beat down after beat down and WANT to go back to what is - let's be honest - a truly terrible event among terrible events (take away the WC designation and like 100 people would sign up for this race as a stand alone IM) is mind boggling. And I'm honestly sad I've never KQ'd. Damn it me.
The "Quest for Kona'' series is an incredibly interesting series if you look at it for what it is: a marketing piece. It's like the idea that EVERYONE should be considering Kona as a goal (even the guy who goes like 14 hours!) should be ubiquitous is...normal. Very strange, but very compelling.
