This week's episode of the Slowtwitch Podcast features a lot of IRONMAN talk. We chat a fair bit about the split IRONMAN World Championships and how athletes are choosing to spend their racing dollars. And then it's time to talk the big news of the week -- Andrew Messick's retirement. Is this a good thing for the sport? Who are some industry names that might be worth talking to? And is this a case of "be careful what you wish for?"

We wrap up talking about Eric's experience at Odyssey SwimRun Casco Bay -- a great event in Maine.
