[...] money’s worth by doing a ton of their races. But, besides the fact that this kind of fee has a ton of problems, further dividing the have’s from the have-not’s (which triathlon already does so well) [...]

Ah, an ambiguous processing fee. They have to get what, two, age group athletes signed up to cover that… and they have how many racers at an Ironman race???? Therefore, they guess if you are a pro, you must be driving a custom pink Ford Mustang GT500KR convertible, and must want you to show up driving a Pinto… They are just taking you to the cleaners.

seriously, petition with grievances outlined and get it signed on by as many pros as you can contact . explain to them, they obviously can do ironman races whatever happens in the future, but for now they should all stand together. you could hell of get it publicized in tri magazine and inside tri and maybe on some local news that like the angle of the story and obvs all over slowtwitch. and the more bad press you create, the more likely ironman will back down.

I hate that they keep sticking pros for more money- seems like the only sport where you pay, not the other way around. I am sure it will all work out, though. Just hang tough and enjoy the results of your hard work. Good luck with those swim lessons! I think that needs to be my winter focus, as well!
