The Hot Property Interview this week is with American Pro Triathlete Jordan Rapp. Jordan has been racing as a pro for several years in addition to his work as Chief Technology Officer of the Triathlon/Cycling site Slowtwitch.com. Jordan is the 2011 ITU Long Distance Triathlon World Champion plus he's won numerous long distance events including five Ironman races in New York, Texas, Canada (twice) and Arizona.

In our 5 Minute Focus this week we talk to Craig Brain of Allsports Distribution about the HOKA ONE ONE Maximalist Running Shoe. HOKA ONE ONE shoes are based on the concept of oversized constructs in which a larger 'sweet-spot' is utilized to aid performance. Hoka has engineered a unique performance midsole geometry that features a higher volume, softer density, and greater rebounding foam than standard running shoes.
