and now we're talking culture and $$, which is really the root of the issue. Most people absolutely have no business in a triathlon, let alone an IM, but that's not going to change.
Brett Sutton had a good tweet about how triathlon should be for the healthy and fit but instead it's been for the hyper-intense, Type A obsessive look at me types. He might be right, but I know which one of those groups I'd generalize to have more money to spend on the sport and I bet WTC does too.
bottom line, if you want good competition, start cycling. Races every weekend, strategy and tactics at all levels, local, cheap, cash prizes for almost all the podium guys, and above all the Category system.

Well the problem all goes down to people not being properly prepared for an ow swim. Examples like last year at St. George are a prime example. If they have have bad weather, chop and in water over their head it becomes a mess
