Summary

If you like what you hear, please support Crushing Iron on Patreon. If you already have, thanks a ton!

In our 66th podcast we talk about Escape From Alcatraz, more specifically the cancelled swim and what maybe should be done by the races to ease the sting of such circumstances.

Plus, we dig into North American Ironman registration over the last 5 years. We compiled this list (using the number on IM results pages) for each of the last 5 years (or less for new races) and analyze why certain races seem to thrive and others are struggling to stay afloat. Several are steady, some are growing, and some are dropping in bunches. We'd like to hear what you think about some of this, especially races you've done in the past. Thanks!

- Escape from Alcatraz
- How can races do better with athletes?
- Plus Analysis of participant rise, steady, or decline of the following Ironman races:
Coeur d'Alene
Louisville
Wisconsin
Chattanooga
Lake Placid
Maryland
Boulder
Arizona
Mont-Tremblant
Canada
Florida
