Thanks to Race Roster for sponsoring this month of the podcast. Race Roster and its Runkeeper app, now a part of the ASICS family, form a great team that drastically enhances the digital services Race Directors require to host premier events.

In our June interview episode we take a look at things from the brand-side with CLIF Bar Southwest Region Marketing Manager Alex Calderon. We learn about how he's living the California Dream, what it's like working with duathlon legend Kenny Souza ("a salty little rascal," per Alex), and also get sidetracked hearing stories about his better half (whose voice you have all heard before). Alex and Tony explain how exhausting it is to execute CLIF's activations at the IRONMAN World Championship in Kona and the challenges of working on the Big Island.
