We recap a very busy few weeks including Kona, LT Games, Big Sugar and IRONMAN California — with helicopters, slushie machines, questionable electrical work, 2.8 million viewers and a surprising number of things that somehow worked.

Basically, 10 pounds of events in a 5 pound sack.

Grit grows on trees at IRONMAN. Apparently.

From the pool deck in Kona, we sit down with Ben O’Donnell, who went from 28 days in the ICU with COVID to racing IRONMAN again — and is now taking on the World Championship. Then our old friend Mike Reilly joins us to talk finish lines, inspiration, retirement, and what he misses about being the Voice of IRONMAN.

Somewhere in there, Mike also attempts to explain what BCC does. Apparently, we make banners.

500 Cats is back! This time, from Kona.

We catch up on a summer of event chaos and ask a surprisingly difficult question: What does BCC actually do? So we enlist Ryan Lobato, Kenny Withrow, and Bob Babbitt to help figure it out. Bob responds by taking us on an unexpected and excellent trip through the history of triathlon.

Turns out, nobody really knows what we do. But apparently we’re pretty good at it.
