I could send you my VRC copy for you to copy for yourself, I don't have the equipment. I don't have cable, so the resolution is not perfect....
Let me know if you are interested. I did not think it was that great either: see my comments below.
Otherwise if you are patient they usually air it again in January or February.

I think I am going to propose to NBC to air the Ironman without any comments, just music background to the images, maybe classical music.
Most of us watching these races have their own emotions and feelings related to these races. We don't need a commentator using retoric to express the pain of somebody passing a kidney stone or throwing up on the side of the road...
Let the images tell their story and let the music inspire each of us in a different way.

If anybody agrees let me know, so I can put some weight to my email to NBC.
Thanks,

I watched both shows (5pm and 8pm). Good thing my big screen has side-by-side during football games I found both shows to be very inspirational! I found myself saying I want to do an ironman in a 2-3 years Some of the personal stories show how most of our obstacles are pretty minor! I know what you mean about commentary sometimes, but I enjoyed this one. You could just turn down sound and put a CD on :-)
