I know that the focus for Island House Tri is their broadcast after the event but I have to say I still expected more. I think their coverage this year went backwards from the first two years. It's like they didn't even try this year after seeing what Superleague does.
And just WTH is this "highlights" video from the first day? It's like a high school kid discovered slomo for the first. time.

I did enjoy the Instagram updates from the athletes though and the actual racing the last day seemed exciting.

Sadly, I am eagerly awaiting the upload of today's highlights. Will it also be in all slomo? I wonder if he was contractually obligated to deliver a 6min highlights video and didn't have enough video at regular speed to fill 6 mins so he went slomo....

As for Island House, I think SuperLeague beat them up and took their lunch money. The fact they have long course athletes in there at all shows this was more meant as a paid vacation than a real race. They either need to amend the format to give the long course folks a chance or stop inviting them. I know Bozzone took second, but he at least has a short course pedigree.
Nice pay day though!
Worth a watch though if you scroll to the end to around 2:50 to see the overhead drone footage of the last few 100 meters between Bozzone and Kanute. Killer sprint finish.

WOW
Are they just trying to earn what little money they can with an old program or is it part of promotion leading up to announcing another race? I assumed it was dead.
I tried to watch but gave up when the first block of commercials started.
Funniest part was about 5 minutes in with an interview segment with Alycia Kaye saying how Gwen isn’t racing but she’s here to give expert insights as commentator. Cut to race scene with Gwen saying, “The athletes came to compete. They want to win.” Haha. Expert trolling by the editor.
