Episode 268: The Biggest IRONMAN Field Ever + The Prize Money Debate
About this episode
The episode discusses the competitive landscape of the IRONMAN field and the ongoing debate about prize money in the sport.
This week, the crew breaks down what might be the most stacked Ironman field ever outside of a World Championship , with Ironman Texas taking center stage. The conversation kicks off with a deep dive into why more pros are choosing Ironman over T100 , touching on the pull of Kona, race dynamics, guaranteed money vs prestige, and the bigger issue: the sport needs more external sponsors—not just bigger prize purses . 🎙️Intro (0:30-3:00) 🏖️The Prize Money Debate (3:05-23:40) 🤠IRONMAN TEXAS (23:45-54:25) 🔥 Hot Takes (54:30-1:06:00) New Website: https://protrinews.com/ 🙌 Massive Thanks To Our Partners 🎨 WYN Republic – Gear up. 15% off with link below https://wynrepublic.com/pages/protrinews 🩸 Rythm Health – Start tracking your biomarkers today https://rythmhealth.com/ ⛽️ Plan your next race's nutrition and race with what's on course- Code PTN https://www.precisionhydration.com/planner/?utm_source=protrinews&utm_medium=podcast ❤️🩹 Recover better, and faster https://pillarperformance.us/ 👨🏻🔧 Race on the best saddle!
