Summary

There are races anyone can register for; there are races you have to enter a lottery for; and then there are races you have to QUALIFY for. On today's episode, Coach John Mayfield and Pro Triathlete Elizabeth James discuss the smattering of exclusive events where a spot on the start line requires more than dollars. How do the race entry lotteries work? What is the qualification standard for Boston or New York? What's the best way to get a slot to the IRONMAN World Championship? If you aspire to race Kona, Boston, Western States, USA Triathlon Nationals, Escape from Alcatraz, 70.3 Worlds, Challenge Roth, or another prestigious endurance event, you'll want to tune in for all the tips to secure your spot!
