The triathlon season is starting in New Zealand with the Mount Festival of Sport this weekend.

Tyler Mislawchuk and Cecilia Perez win the IRONMAN 70.3 in Pucon, Chile.

We chat to Andrew Buckrell PhD - Mechanical Engineering and Thermal Management Power Technologist and CEO & Chief Scientist at Endurance Innovation. Andrew returns to the show to discuss recent innovations in cooling technologies, including the development of the Cool Bottle. The Cool Bottle aims to enhance performance by actively cooling the forearms during races. We delve into the science behind cooling mechanisms, the inspiration for the product, its design and the practical applications for athletes.

We revisit our chat with Dr Paul Laursen on ice slushies and the Floe Bottle. A product that is capable of dispensing a cooling ice slushie through its wide nozzle design.
