This whole thread does a wonderful job encapsulating why triathlon will never be a huge sport. The amount of people who spew hate and judgement towards a person who wants to try and shine in our sport is just embarrassing. Pages and pages of negative drivel. We should be welcoming her into the family, instead the armchair douchebags of the world are busy wondering when she's going to quit or if she's ever going to start.She's not trying to shine in the sport of triathlon. She's using it as a marketing ploy to promote herself and her business. It's good that she's raising money for charity and I hope all those proceeds really do go to charity but you're mistaken if she cares at all about triathlon.
It's a stunt, pure and simple
However many of these Ironmans she completes this Summer will most likely be her lifetime total. I doubt she'll ever do another one, perhaps not another triathlon of ANY distance
