Today we dive into an unbelievable Women's race at the Ironman World Championship. We talk about what went right and what went wrong and offer our humble opinions. It was a great day for Ironman in general and the attention these races got is sure to have an impact on the sport. We talk Lucy's swim, Taylor's poise, and Solveig's finish. We also look at technology and how it keeps pushing the envelope but not always down the right road. We get into sodium, heat, and why we wonder if the calorie intakes might be too much.
