Last week we saw IronMan Lake Placid won by Joe Skipper (smashing the course record in the process) but we didn't see Alistair Brownlee race at what was the final chance to qualify for Nice. This will mean that Alistair Brownlee will not be lininig up in Nice in September and might indicate that he is injured again. 

We discuss this as well as all the action from WTCS Hamburg, whether we will see Gustav Iden race Nice, the problems being faced by British Triathlon like Georgia Taylor-Brown tearing her calf, no WTCS event there in 2024 and the PTO US Open (and much much more!)

This week we are joined by Magnus Ditlev off the back of his incredible performance in Roth.

We discuss the differences between Roth in 2022 and 2023, his plans between now and Nice and what he thinks of his chances on the Nice course and how it will suit a strong cylist like himself.

We then take a look at how we think he will go in Nice this year and talk about his significant improvements over the next 12 months.

We're back with plenty to talk about this week. 

We discuss the news that Andrew Messick has stepped down as the head of IronMan. We look at the pros and cons from his tenure and then discuss what we would like to see IronMan do after he is replaced. 

We discuss the news that the Collins Cup isn't happening, start lists for The PTO US Tour (typically they announced wild cards almost immediately after we recorded) and preview WTCS Hamburg this weekend.

We then turn our attention to Challenge Roth from a few weeks back where we are joined by Chrissie Wellington (via Get out in It) to hear what it meant to see her world record beaten by Daniela Ryf and why she is one of, if not, the greatest female triathlete of all time.

Welcome to the new version of our old show where we get together every week to talk about triathlon!

This podcast is all about making it easier for triathletes to follow the professional side of the sport by highlighting the things we think are most interesting every single week.

To kick things off we are joined by the world number 1 ranked triathlete, who has won an Olympic gold medal, an Ironman and Ironman 70.3 World Championship as well as a WTCS World Championship, Kristian Blummenfelt. We catch up about how the year has gone, the current state of the sport and what he thinks of both his and Gustav Iden's chances are for the Paris Olympic gold medal.
