Less laggy livestream👍

You won't believe it but there is a world outside the USA.

Does anyone besides us ever watch it?

Speaking of livestream, got a link to watch it?

The more people I encounter the more I love my cats.

Living proof, I'm not american

facebook .. ironman now

As if anyone from the USA would watch.

Its not Like any yanks will come 1 2 or 3.

Germans will clean up.

lol... none of those people would watch Kona on any other day....

Every year has football, playoff baseball, etc in October. This year no different.

Also this year, as always with IM, viewership will be the smallest in niche viewing and never, ever, ever mainstream

That’s not a fair stereotype, I love watching college football and watching Kona, and I’m sure not the only football fan here. Hell I might try and have both on.

Haha. Literally no one outside the States CGAF about college football or the 'World' Series. I think that's about 7.4 billion people.

29 years and counting

Nobody that isn’t us cares about triathlon anyway and the few who do will be watching. It sucks being surrounded by nothing but obsession for football and the other big 4 sports here in the USA when I can’t stand any of them but as some have said, non-USA viewers shouldn’t be affected much.

Thank you. I keep getting bogus links and redirected in my own searches.

I fixed your title and post for you

I think there are two type of people:
1. Those who enjoy triathlon enough that they are willing to sit in front of a screen and watch people work out for 8 hours
2. Those who thing the above sounds ridiculous (though they may be my wife and will sit next to me the whole time anyway)

I think people who are going to tune into Kona are planning to do so no matter what else is on.

And no one outside of it pays attention to college football or the 'world' series.

Long Chile was a silly place.

If this race is even on your radar you aren't deciding between Kona and college FB and MLB playoffs. Also, doesn't this happen every year...?

You do realize how ironic this comment is, right?

The few guys at work who have any idea what Ironman is (except the absolute basics of “some running swimming thing”) only know of it as the 2 hour show on NBC.

For those of us in Canada, it’s Canadian thanksgiving (you know, the real one! Not the stupid Football one) so I have to hide my phone in my lap while I visit with family I haven’t seen in 10 months.

Amateur a lot of things, professional a few things.

Anyone have the stream link? The Facebook live redirects you to some scammy looking Parryplay website to sign up

I can relate.

My daughter's baby shower this afternoon. Planning to have my Ipad on in some place so I can at least see bits of the race! :)

I mean as far as baseball goes the World Series of Major League Baseball is pretty important. About 250m viewers outside the US watch every year. It might be more this year if the Yankees make it (they won’t) but we won’t know for 10 days because that is when the World series starts.

Other viewing options....
