i don't disagree with your assessment. however...
triathlon has some built-in advantages. it's a lot smaller than a marathon. instead of 25,000 you're talking about 2,500 and that's for a big race. we have the capacity to lead on how to produce a safe event when viewed thru the lens of epidemiology. we have a mature, controllable population that would exhibit uniform behavioral discipline. we could and should be the first events back, because we could provide a model for subsequent events.
whether it's ironman or any other triathlon, i think our sport is in an ideal position to be the reopening model.
