This week we are talking triathlon with American professional triathlete, Skye Moench.

Our chat moves through the PTO Milwauke race, the challenges professional female triathletes face and the differences between men and women.

We discuss specialising at a distance versus being versatile across many, the women's only Kona race and whether splitting the men and women was a good idea and why female professionals are maybe less likely to call out their competition.

A wonderful and insightful conversation that gives you a real insight into how Skye sees the current state of the sport.

No surprised here but this week we talk all about the PTO US Open.

One of the most exciting races we have seen in a long time. We discuss the brilliance of Taylor Knibb, the breakthrough performance of Lucy Byram and the consistency of Ashleigh Gentle.

We give our thoughts on the broadcast. The things we liked and some minor points for improvement.

We then turn our attention to the men's race where we saw Jan Frodeno give on of the best performances of his career to beat almost all of the 'next generation. We look at the incredible performance of Kristian Blummenfelt and what Jan's victory means when writing the history of triathlon.

Basically we talk about why Jan Frodeno IS the greatest of all time!

This week Scottish professional triathlete David McNamee joins us to talk all about triathlon! We discuss athletes not supporting PTO events, challenges trying to work with federations as well as the way the sport is changing and how it can be improved. David explains why he thinks Kona is more than a world championship and why it is the race that motivated him to be his best.

This is an incredibly open and candid conversation with a 2-time Kona podium finisher. You will not want to miss the insightful perspective he has on the state of the sport.
