You ready to bust this one out, man?

Welcome six-time Iron Man Finisher.

Co-host of the Crushing Iron Trathlion podcast, Mike Tarale.

Oh, hey, it's so great to be here.

And Asterisk, also owner of the longest finish line soak-in in the history of Iron Man.

You think so in there?

Oh, man, you were, I mean could see i was in it looked like a

taraleigh 2020 expo like you were kissing hands and shaking babies and uh no it was good it was

fun to watch after a what was a not fun day on the course for many athletes

at Iron Man the Wool. My sister said she really enjoyed that display. I think everybody did.

Yeah, I just, you know, most, I think just about every other race I've done, I really had,

I knew I had something on the clock you know there was a situation

where I didn't want to you know take off too much time but for this one I knew I wasn't in the

the money I hadn't hit my run goal there was really nothing uh waiting said, you know, I knew we had a ton of people

there. And I just, I seemed to see most of them. So it was just like, you know what? I'm going to do

this once and just see how it feels. But, and you love that, I'm sure. I did. I really enjoyed it.

But, you know, even though the race, you know, I did do the race and all that, I just do not want it to fall through the cracks that you coached 25 athletes yesterday on a tremendously challenging race or in a challenging race 12-time first iron man finishers and

you know I just want to you know just put that out there for you because I know that day was

unbelievable had to be I mean I was out there in 50 degrees rainy cold windy

windier than i thought at least affected me and i always think about my god what am i going

through i'm kind of a semi-tuff northern wisconsin guy and and I just was thinking about everybody else and what

what that meant and how and how you had to be thinking as a coach to be especially on the bike.
