We want to do a bang up job for you this week and therefore have two very special and dear guests of the show.  We have Dirk Friel from TrainingPeaks with us to talk about the Audi Power of Four Ski Mountaineering Race and coach David Warden, former Tri Talk Podcast host, still an competitive athlete and international coach. 

We are recording from the TrainingPeaks office in Boulder for the in-person interview with Dirk Friel.  Before we get into the interview with Dirk let's catch up with our MHE co-hosts Khem Suthiwan and Bill Plock.  How's it going guys?
