The end of an era with the great Sebastian Kienle finishing the last race of his career in Cozumel with a 4th place finish.

This week we look at his incredible career and the impact he has had on triathlon. We also discuss Hayden Wilde's incredible 70.3 Melbourne victory and why all middle distance athletes should be worried about Taupo next year. We discuss the confusion around World Triathlon and the PTO announcing European Championships next year and try to understand what is going on with their relationship. We also try and work out what Kristian Blummenfelt and Taylor Knibb need to do to race the Ironman World Championships next year.
