Aloha from the big Island of Hawaii.  We are glad you are joining us for our Kona Special episode and another week of the endurance.  We have selected two of the many interviews we've done this week.  We have heart of triathlon, Bob Babbitt to talk to us about the legends and history of the race.  We also have the voice of Ironman, Mike Reilly to talk about his perspective as announcer and the professional field. 

Welcome to Episode #95 of the Mile High Endurance podcast.  Mile High Endurance is your weekly connection to coaches, experts and pro athletes to help you reach your endurance and triathlon goals.  We're your hosts Rich Soares, Khem Suthiwan and Bill Plock.  We are also joined by Mike Ricci, owner and head coach of D3 Multisport.  Mike is a Level 3 USAT coach and is staying with us at the White Sands Resort in Kailua Kona.
