Does anybody know or can point in the right direction, how long IMAZ took to sell out when it went to the public for years 2013 to 2018? My understanding is that it took just minutes for 2013 and a week for 2018... but maybe I read something wrong. thx

Context is everything...
2013, 2014, 2015 races sold out in minutes, even as triathlon was on the decline starting years earlier. But the 2015 race saw the first rolling start. And ever since... it has taken the day or more to sell out the race. I think the rolling start has hurt ironman. It appeases to just a few, but it doesn't sell otherwise to the masses. Even the brochures for IMAZ use the mass swim start image to sell the race. It also attracted the crowds and put you in ah back then. Now it is boring.
What I was looking for was if somebody knew the exact numbers for how long it took to sell out for the last number of years.
