In a feeble attempt to do another Ironman this year to makeup for missing Coeur d' Alene, I wrote a letter to the new President and CEO of World Triathlon Corporation, Andrew Messick. I say feeble because WTC is worse than the government when it comes to exceptions or any type of special consideration. Messick has the reputation of being an "Average Joe", an Ironman finisher himself and someone who cares about the everyday athlete. I all but begged Messick to let me into Ironman Arizona in November. I'd be more than happy to pay the $$$ entry fee to do it. I sent the letter snail mail style and hope that he visits their headquarters in Tampa, Florida from time to time to pick up his mail.
