Having a race-sponsor for your first Ironman triathlon can seem like a pretty good idea. Taking part in an Ironman has become a pretty expensive affair these days and its always nice to have help along the way. Especially with things like expensive bike equipment, lodging, and travel expenses etc.
After all, you may only be required to wear their name on your race clothing. It seems like a small price to pay to have yourself a race-sponsor.
Few people realize the responsibility that seemingly comes along with wearing a sponsors name.
It can often become a trying proposition for many athletes.
