This Weeks Discussion: Kurt Taylor sent through this weeks discussion, he asked: What do you think the possibility of Ironman creating a series at a modified distance (between 51.50 and 70.3) that would get the pros to race each other multiple times a year on courses around the world.  As it is now, you will only see Crowie, The Raelerts, Macca, Jacobs etc... going head  to head at Kona.  The same is happening with the girls.  If the top 10 boys and girls were racing each other 6-7 times leading up to Kona, you could sell a TV package since the races are going to be just a couple of hours.  You could have a points system, and overall championship, or even make it a full series of different distance and include the regional championships as part of the series. Let us know your thoughs on this idea. Comment here
