Matt does some time-travel in this discussion with six-time IRONMAN World Champion, Mark Allen.

Together, they review the recent Collin's Cup race in Slovakia - the good, the bad, and the future of this excitin new format of racing. Mark was on the ground at the race as team captain for Team USA and provides his behind-the-scenes review of logistics, team selections, race day strategies, surprising outcomes, and the unexpected team camaraderie from the athletes.

Matt and Mark also look ahead to the upcoming IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship race in St. George, Utah on September 18th and answer your questions regarding:

• Mindset - How to approach this race compared to a "normal" non-championship event

• Pacing - How to run effectively, even if this is your weakest discipline

• Terrain management - Should you leave it all out there from the start?

• Shoe choice - What should you look for in a shoe

• Insights on how the race will unfold

• Athletes who stand to make a lasting imprint on this race

Finally, "the Grip" provides his thoughts on what it really takes to be world class. It's an unforgettable moment from the "Master of Mindset" himself and we know it will leave an indelible impression on anyone seeking world-class performance.

Who better to learn from than one of the true and humble legends?
