Hi, Mark Levesay.

Hi, Dan Staten.

0:02.6

It's been a while.

0:04.1

I didn't know if you would, if I'd get shot or, um, choked when I walked in the door this morning. You're a thick, dude. I don't think I would mess with you. Do you like Jiu-Jitsu? I'm getting thinner, though. You didn't even compliment. Now, it's slightly thinner. I still think you're the most jacked triathlete Iron Man I've ever met.

0:23.0

It doesn't make sense.

0:23.8

Well, hey. Now, it's slightly thinner. I still think you're the most jacked triathlete Iron Man I've ever met.

0:23.0

It doesn't make sense.

0:24.0

Well, hey, for 59, I'm happy, dude.

I'm coming down the highway and there's a sign saying this weekend, Ironman Cordillane and Cordillane. I'm like, just had to smile. That's where I retired. That was your last one? My very last race was 2007 Ironman Cordillane right before they did it.

1:15.7

Now they did away with it for a while and then they brought it back, I guess. Oh yeah. Yeah, my last race. Cortaline, that's the only Iron Man that I've ever done twice. Not good. No, it was that bad.

1:22.9
