Race threads for streamed events - please post direct links in first post

This goes especially for Facebook streamed events, but also for YouTube.

Can we please make it a habit for the person starting the live race thread to add/edit direct links (both part 1 and 2 in the case of FB) in the opening post once they are available?

ST users and races are located all over different time zones. Regardless where you live, some races will be at odd times. The Ironman Facebook page automatically bumps mid-race uploads (titled "watch A enter T2 in first place," "key pass as X runs down Y for first place at mile Z") to the top so it is impossible to find and load the live video without scrolling past spoilers for anyone tuning in later.

ST is a wild wild west. There is no consistency for subjects, no attempt to search for existing threads, lots of snark, etc.[/url]

A better ask would be for the moderators to have a pinned article or main page link with upcoming streamed events.

Swim - Bike - Run the rest is just clothing changes.

A pinned thread with only live race links would be a great idea, too. If I wake up at 4am on Monday, IM Cali will be 6 hours into the race and I really want to watch it from the beginning without spoilers :(
