I love both of you, you have done so much for the sport and I was there in Hawaii during your impressive reigns. I hope we are wrong, but my triathlete buddies and I absolutely do not agree with what they did to the World Champion Ironman with men and women on separate days/years time will tell if this was a good idea.

[@therealmarkallen]

We will know in a few days. The men's race and the entire Ironman experience in Nice was unbelievably positive. Here in Kona this week the energy is definitely different than it is with the men, but in a good way. The women racing are super, super excited to be taking part.

[@gingerwatkins9303]

The Original!
