This Weeks Discussion: Pete Romney sent through this weeks discussion. Do you think that the Ironman organization has spread itself too thin and is trying to put on too many full length courses? While I loved having an Ironman course literally half a mile from my front door, there seem to be so many races (at least around the US) that each race draws fewer pros and just a little less fanfare from the organization, etc. Or, on the flip side, should more and more people try to go pro and race Ironman full time to expand the sport?
