How to watch old Ironman races?

Maybe try here? 33 pages of videos that go way back.

Lots of stuff on YouTube also including the NBC coverage. Search there by typing in the year and Ironman Kona or Ironman World Championship.

Thanks HaydenHunter. Yah, I guess I was referring more to the NBC shows. I found the 2016 Kona on YouTube, but haven't been able to find much more...

They used to be easily available on YouTube if you searched "Ironman World Championship" and the year. But in recent years it seems like there is some kind of copyright issue and Youtube has been taking them down or at least taking away the audio on them. Sometimes you can find a poor quality copy that someone made off their TV and has temporarily gotten away with posting. You can also buy a boxed DVD set--can't remember if it is from IM or NBC or what, but someone sells them.

Sad--in my first years with the trainer I watched those videos all the time and found them really inspiring, but never ordered the DVD's. Now I pretty much go with channels like Bike the World and HD Cycling that feature footage of scenic rides in Europe.
