I'm a bit amused that a lot of my tri friends on FB are all of a sudden professing their interest in Rev3 after this lovely WTC bit of capitalism. Who's to say Rev3 isn't going to go down the same path that Ironman/WTC did over the years? They may want blackouts around their races. I'm not so sure they're going to be the angel to complement WTC's devil.
Well Rev3 really started because they saw they shift in the WEH/WTC and wanted to do races that were more about the "Athlete" and family.
Lets see... Rev3 lets people cross with loved ones? WTC?
Could they change down the line? Maybe, but I doubt it. I have had the pleasure of meeting Todd, Heather, and Eric and know a lot of their views and what they are trying to do.
The thing to remember is what IRONMAN WAS, is not what IRONMAN IS any more. There is a clear distinction to me the folks that build up Ironman, and now the folks who OWN Ironman, which is a Financial / Hedge fund firm
Rev3 I do not see spiraling into the money grab unless they SELL OUT like Ironman has.
