CNN Covers the Rising Cost of Endurance Sports

But these aren’t cheap pursuits. Some of the ultramarathons by the UTMB World Series cost close to $700 to enter. And entry to the most expensive Ironman triathlon, at Lake Placid in New York State, costs up to $1,000.

Who’s this article for? Was this written because “endurance sports” have been in the media and they sat around and tried to find an angle? Yes, if you take your hobby serious you’re willing to spend lots of money on it. And… that’s a new thing? Serious amateur athletes are willing to spend insane amount of money on their past time pursuits. It’s called living. We’re not just meant to put all our money into the stock market so billionaires can see their portfolio grow.

What a pointless article. And I linked to it. You’re welcome.
