Summary

Mike and Robbie review the KONA Broadcast on NBC and it opened an interesting question: Should Ironman move the World Championships out of KONA?  That conversation happens toward the end at the 25 minute mark and Mike was totally against it at first, but completely changed his tune.  We also cover:

- The Jan Frodeno/Sebastian Kienle match up.  
- Ryf and Rinny
- Men vs. Women and the future of pros at Kona
- The human interest, including the heart wrenching story of the woman burned in an ultra marathon.
- The oldest man to finish at Kona
- Advertising during the broadcast
- Why moving the World Championships off the island would be the best thing for the sport.
- Ironman World Championships in Madison, Wisconsin . . . or Chattanooga??
