Lance opens the podcast by chatting about the outstanding performance by Iow State junior Jason Gomez in the 800 at NCAAs in Eugene. He also talks about Drake's Isaac Basten going for broke in the 1,500 final and running a gutsy race. The focus then turns to last weekend's inaugural Ironman Des Moines event. Lance gives his thoughts on the course, competition and brutal heat, with comments from men's pro winner Matt Hanson. The race report resumes with the best from Portland, including a win in the 1,500 from Karissa Schweizer and a seventh from a former Iowa Central runner. He also talks about a season-best performance from former Iowa Hawkeye Erik Sowinski in the 800 at the NYC Grand Prix.
