Twitter friend @runfastermommy has written an excellent blog post about the World Triathlon Corporations announcement regarding their new Ironman Access Program. Read it here.
My advice to Runfastermommy, and anyone considering a full iron distance race: do a non-WTC branded race instead!
- I highly recommend the Rev3Tri series of races as a superior alternative to WTC. They have a full distance race in Ohio, staged at Cedar Point amusement park. Very cool.
- Or, do a smaller local Iron race. I had a great race at Beach2Battleship Iron distance race. I spent a lot less money on it than a WTC race – in race fees AND travel expenses. Plus, I got a really cool tattoo when my race was done. I still love my tattoo. 🙂
