The idea of volunteer shortages being the blocker for a 2-day format is really icky, even compared to Ironman.

Lifetime, etc.. is 100% about making money for themselves and don't really care about where they leave cycling when they inevitably dump cycling for whatever is what they perceive as the new fitness fad.

Volunteers should not be in the picture at these prices and when they are paying Pros to race their whole series. The whole thing is just marketing for their $300+/month gyms and now their $4000-6000/month apartments. (Maybe you can get a studio in some locations for $3000/month)
