Switching official port-a-pottie brands? Maybe announcing a full IM within a 10 hour drive of my house?

For the first time ever, this year's IRONMAN Louisville will be the All World Athlete Challenge.
What is the All World Athlete Challenge?
Senior Regional Director Keats McGonigal explains more about this event.

Sort of on-par with Trek's "big announcement" as far as significance and not overhyping.

New IMs are now given the Olympic treatment it seems. I just hope community support is taken into account somewhat among all the financial breaks.
Personally, I'd hit Memphis for the food alone. All the others? nah.

Agree. I have never been to Memphis but would love to see the history, culture and eat the foods. I would sign up for IM Memphis.

IMIA or how about IMSOYBN? Maybe IMCORN?
Des Moines is a finalist

Like there's some good Barbecue in Memphis and Fayetteville, a Symphony in Tulsa...but any of these in Mid-June is gonna suck unless you're purely training for Kona and have already qualified.

Before I got into Tri's, HyVee had what seemed to be pretty popular when it happened.

Unpredictable? Eh, it's still gonna he hell on earth and humid in those locales in September. They would be pretty nice October races though.
