This week’s episode of Another Triathlon Podcast is absolutely stacked!

We kick things off recapping all the drama from Ironman 70.3 St. George—and it delivered! From flat tires to front pack fireworks, we break down the key moments, including:

✔️ Lionel Sanders back on top, running a 1:11 and looking more dangerous than ever
✔️ Paula Findlay cruising to victory, but not without some hot debates over Victoria Lopes' mid-race tactics
✔️ Magnus Ditlev’s double puncture heartbreak, still salvaging the final Marbella slot in true roll-down fashion
✔️ Sam Long, Colin Szuch, and Jackie Hering adding to the podium fireworks
✔️ Tech fails, puncture chaos, and why Ironman needs to seriously level up their bike support and broadcasts

From there, we dive into the heated debate that blew up online this week: Should pro athletes start races knowing they won’t finish? The crew gets into the ethics, strategy, and sponsor expectations behind Lopes' St. George DNF.

We also cover the continued disaster of Ironman’s broadcast coverage, what they can learn from WTCS, T100, and even the Giro, and how they're missing a huge opportunity to elevate the Pro Series.

Then, we preview a jam-packed race weekend ahead with everything from:

✔️ WTCS Yokohama—can Cassandra Beaugrand and Leo Bergere dominate? Will Gwen Jorgensen continue her comeback?
✔️ Ironman 70.3 France—the Norwegians are back (yes, all of them), plus Lisa Perterer looks to keep her breakout season rolling
✔️ Ironman 70.3 Chattanooga—could be a duathlon thanks to flooding, but expect Sam Long, Jason West, and Matt McElroy to throw down regardless

Finally, the crew gets personal:

• Josh is pain-free and greedy for more watts, sharing his 3x12s and how life on the road is blending with tri life.
• Fede’s gym work gets mistaken for HYROX training, plus a deep dive into VLA Max and why strength is king for long course.
• Jenna-Caer is prepping for a 20-hour homestay training camp, and the team debates triathletes’ toxic shoe habits (yes, they are still wearing those blisters).

Timestamps:

(00:00) Welcome and episode overview
(01:00) St. George pro race breakdown
(17:00) The debate: Should you race if you know you won’t finish?
(26:00) Broadcast blunders and Ironman's big miss
(38:00) WTCS Yokohama, 70.3 France, and Chattanooga previews
(55:00) Josh’s pain-free training updates + Fede’s gym antics
(1:00:00) Jenna-Caer’s solo training camp and triathlete shoe addiction

Jackie dives deep into her journey from first-time age grouper in 2005 to standing on pro podiums across the world. She opens up about training through the chaos of parenting, fueling strategy (spoiler: she eats real food and a lot of it), her love/hate relationship with the T100 format, and why she’s not mad about Kona being back to one day.

✔️ Her rapid rise from age grouper to pro
✔️ What changed once she became a mom—and why it made her tougher
✔️ How her 2024 season is shaping up with Oceanside and St. George

✔️ Her honest take on T100 vs Ironman
✔️ Why she's all in on the Ironman Pro Series
✔️ Thoughts on Kona returning to one-day format

This week, we’re diving into two big races—one just wrapped and one is about to go down.

✔️ Ironman 70.3 Venice-Jesolo Recap
We break down all the action from Italy, where Solveig Løvseth continued her winning streak and Panagiotis Bitados stormed to a massive win on the men’s side.
The race didn’t come without controversy—drafting drama, sketchy bike course conditions, and some Tour de France-style packs led to a fiery “WTF of the Week” discussion.

✔️ Ironman St. George 70.3 Preview
One of the most iconic North American races—and potentially its last edition—is stacked with world-class talent.
We go deep into predictions, podium picks, course changes, and how the brutal terrain and forecasted 90°F heat could shake things up.
On the women’s side: Paula Findlay, Chelsea Sodaro, Jackie Hering, Tamara Jewett, and more.
For the men: Magnus Ditlev, Lionel Sanders, Sam Long, Jake Birtwhistle, and Matt McElroy headline what feels like a World Championship field.

✔️ What the F of the Week:
Did we just witness a non-draft legal race turn full-on Peloton?

✔️ Social Post of the Week:
We highlight the hilarious and surprisingly insightful race preview rankings from @onyerleft.triathlon—featuring categories like “Big Boulder Energy” and “Break Stuff by Limp Bizkit.” If you know, you know.

✔️ Coaching Corner & Strength Talk:
We also chat about training load, strength work, and why staying injury-free may be your biggest performance hack yet. Plus, some fun behind-the-scenes updates on training camps and racing plans ahead.
