Description

After Ironman's announcement yesterday that the World Championship race will return to one day with men & women in the same event, and that age-group women's qualification spots will return to a system of proportionality based on participation rates, we had to call an emergency podcast.

Don't worry, the new Feisty Triathlon podcast will be re-launching in two weeks. Mark your calendars for a live launch event on May 14 — and can you guess who the hosts are?

But, until then, Kelly & Sara got back together to:

• Explain why so many women feel so tired and frustrated
• Breakdown the most common arguments against giving women equal spots to the world championship
• Dive into what Ironman should be learning both from what's worked in other sports and from what's worked in Olympic triathlon racing
• Look at those polling survey results Ironman's been sharing around: If 42% of your female customer base already says they prefer the new split format v. your flagship historic event after just two years, you should be asking why...

And, what happens now?

Be sure to subscribe on the Feisty Tri feed so you don't miss the new relaunched podcast coming.
