This week, Belinda Granger joins the show for a wide-ranging conversation across the latest in triathlon.

We start with Challenge Roth 2025 and what’s shaping up to be another massive edition of the race, before diving into some of the challenges facing pro fields across both long course and short course racing.

Sam Laidlow’s health remains a big talking point, and we discuss the uncertainty around his future in the sport.

We also explore why fewer women are racing Ironman and what can be done to address the imbalance, before wrapping things up with a look at the upcoming Ironman Texas and what to expect from the men’s and women’s fields.
