In today's Crushing Iron Podcast: We pay a lot of money to "do Triathlon" but what we get in return is invaluable. Today (which happens to be Total Eclipse Day) the guys talk about the journey, the struggle, and keeping your eyes on the real prize of doing Ironman. The motivation, the friendships, the connections, and the experience. There's also a lot of swim talk here, including an exploration of Total Immersion, including the real reasons it's so popular.

- Total Immersion swimming and why it's not for you
- Taking The Complication Out of Swimming
- The High Elbow Out of The Water illusion

- How great friendships emerge through training
- How do we connect when we're on an island?
- The feeling of crossing the Ironman Finish Line
- The new Crushing Iron website
