"Being relatively new to the sport, I’m still not jaded enough to not enjoy the coverage. I’m actually really looking forward to it. "
same here!
I don’t think I ever will be jaded. It’s the just finishers that inspired me to start and the people faster than me that inspire me to stay.
Ironmanlive.com indicates these might be the stories:
Did they all fiinish??? NBC “likes” to throw in one that doesn’t … just to keep it “real.”
I don’t suppose theres a kind sole who would be willing to burn me off a copy of the NBC program and send it to me in the UK ?
Will willingly cover postage etc.
We’ve not had NBC coverage in the UK for many years and our IM race coverage ( ESPN ) is getting more and more infrequent.
Get the the bit torrent up ASAP please, as we will not get it on TV here in OZ!!!
“I gave up on the Hawaii coverage years ago. I’ve had too many years thinking this will be a great year and then thinking what a waste of time watching. How many more “human interest” stories can they dream up?”
I’m looking forward to it, too, 'cause I’m going to a get together to watch it, and there’s gonna be cake…for me 
If you cover postage and can wait a week or two I could send you a DVD…
Wow! Your second post here is asking for a favor like that? Pretty bold! …
OK, I’ll do it!
PM me your address, and I’ll get it out to you.
You can watch the entire race day coverage by downloading from Ironman.com into Windows Media Player into your library, then play this as you wish. Im almost up to the first female to finish, many hours of computrainer inspiration. They also have the IM 70.3 race day to download also.
