So you mean show little interest in itu and then only when every marathon option fails she comes back to USAT saying she’s ready in what early fall 2019?
And she’ll showcase her itu talent when and how in that scenario?
ETA: The whole reason why she is doing running and not triathlon is because she had ZERO interest in doing another 4 years of ITU life demands. She had zero interest in living/training in 4 different locations over a 10 month period. She had zero interest in raising a family that way. And that's what it would take for her to have success at ITU....she knew that more than anyone, she respected the sport and the process and understood it that much- look at how she did when she "part timed" it versus when she went "all in". So there is no "least path of resistance"; in fact it's the opposite of that. And that's the reality she faced and she knew it, so she mad a heady play of taking advantage of her fame and gold medal and parlayed it into another 3 years of paid training.
