In this packed episode of Another Triathlon Podcast brought to you by @maunaapparel, Jenna and Josh break down all the action from the T100 London – from the thrilling women’s three-way run battle to a dominant comeback win for Lucy Charles-Barclay, and Hayden Wilde’s statement ride-to-run victory on the men’s side. They cover the big performances, surprising tactics, and where the PTO broadcast still needs to improve.

Josh shares an inside look at his Chicago Marathon build – stacking 50+ mile run weeks, a 21-day run streak, and learning the value of getting key sessions done earlier in the day. Jenna talks Kona prep heat sessions, gearing up for the Mauna Elite Camp in San Diego, and what it’s like to train through Calgary’s wild summer hailstorms.

Then, stick around for a deep-dive interview with Race Ranger co-founder James Elvery. James shares:

• How Race Ranger went from an idea between two pro triathletes to one of the sport’s most talked-about innovations
• The tech behind those front and rear bike-mounted lights and how they’re changing drafting enforcement
• The story behind Challenge Roth’s release of pro athlete drafting data – and the impact it’s already had on race behavior
• Plans for real-time referee data, live GPS athlete tracking, and how this could transform both pro and age-group racing
• A vision for separating “competitive” and “general participant” fields to create cleaner, fairer racing for athletes chasing podiums and World Championship slots

If you’ve ever wondered how drafting rules could be enforced more consistently – or what’s next for tech in triathlon – this is one you won’t want to miss.

Listen in for race insights, training takeaways, and a look at the future of fair racing.

Josh recaps his massive breakthrough at Ironman 70.3 Oregon, where everything clicked – from peak sleep scores to race-day execution – landing him 4th in his age group and a coveted World Championship slot for Nice. He dives into the course details, training insights, and what it really takes to go from chasing a sub-5 to smashing it by 40 minutes.

Jenna shares her wild ride at Ironman 70.3 Maine, where she battled early wakeups, a surprise non-wetsuit swim, and a hilly, quad-cramping bike course – only to finish strong, place 3rd, and earn her own slot to the 70.3 World Champs in Nice. From sturgeon sightings to high-fives on the run, it was a weekend of grit, fuel, and community.

Plus:
✔️ A deep dive into SuperTri Toronto’s fast and furious Eliminator format – with wins from Alex Yee and Jolien Vermeylen, and the return of Cassandra Beaugrand
✔️ Sam Laidlow’s dominance at Ironman Leeds – and what three Ironmans in a season means for his chances at Nice
✔️ A North American showdown at Ironman 70.3 Boise – wins by Sam Appleton and Paula Findlay, with Canadian Mauna athletes Matt Sharpe and Jason Pohl also running strong
✔️ Fueling takeaways from the team – with real-life proof of how 100g+ of carbs per hour transforms performance

In this week’s Another Triathlon Podcast, we dive deep with one of the sport’s most enduring legends: Belinda Granger. From her early days as a gymnastic-obsessed Aussie to dominating the long-course triathlon scene for over a decade, Belinda shares stories of grit, unexpected turns, and the magic of the sport that never let her go.

Now known as the voice of Challenge Roth and the pro liaison for Challenge Family, Belinda opens up about her own pro career, how she built unshakeable durability, and why her win at Roth in 2005 still means everything. We also explore how she accidentally transitioned into commentary, her behind-the-scenes role in making pro racing better, and why Race Ranger is changing the future of fair play.

She reflects on racing alongside Chrissie Wellington and Mirinda Carfrae, shares hilarious training camp memories (including gymnastics after wine at Jan Frodeno’s house), and talks passionately about the evolving women’s field and the athletes she believes will break the 8-hour barrier.

Belinda’s storytelling is as sharp as ever, packed with wisdom, laughter, and a love for the sport that’s downright contagious. If you’re a fan of triathlon history, fair racing, or just want a reminder of why this sport is so special—this one’s for you.

Topics Covered:
✔️ How Belinda got into triathlon (thank you, Bondi Brats)
✔️ Her transition from age grouper to pro athlete
✔️ The 2005 Challenge Roth win that changed everything

✔️ Race Ranger, public drafting data, and athlete accountability

In this episode of Another Triathlon Podcast powered by @maunaapparel, Jenna (@jennacaer), Josh (@joshmvernon), and Fede (@fedemultisport) break down a packed weekend of racing and gear up for the final Ironman Pro Series race before World Champs.

First up, the team talks Ironman 70.3 Swansea—highlighting a dominant win by Harry Palmer and a streaking Kat Matthews. From sheep dodging on technical descents to powerhouse bike packs and non-wetsuit swims, it was a race full of surprises. Plus, the crew dives into the current Ironman Pro Series standings and the increasingly strategic approach athletes are taking to chase points (or avoid racing Kat and KB altogether).

Then it’s off to Hamburg for fast and furious short course action, where Matt Hauser and Leonie Perrault lit up the streets with sub-14 and sub-15:30 5Ks, leading their teams to a dominant Australian win in the mixed team relay. Hamburg is quickly becoming the crown jewel of short course triathlon—and the coverage, crowd, and racing lived up to the hype.

Next, it’s all about Lake Placid. With big names like Jackie Hering, Holly Lawrence, Braden Currie, Kristian Høgenhaug, and Trevor Foley on the start list, the crew gives their podium picks for both the men’s and women’s races. Will Jason West surprise on his full-distance debut? Can Holly Lawrence carry her T100 momentum into her first Ironman? And will Foley’s firepower on the bike-run combo be enough to defend the title?

Other hot topics include:

• The V21 trisuit pre-sale drop from @maunaapparel
• Sam Laidlow’s request for a 70.3 Worlds wildcard (and why it’s a bad idea)
• Rumors of a T200 race distance and Olympic ambitions for T100
• Gordon Ramsay’s return to racing (yes, really)
• A quad-box broadcast win for Ironman Pro Series

📺 Don’t forget—there’s a mystery interview episode dropping midweek that will answer some BIG questions we’ve all been asking 👀

Listen now and catch up on the latest in long course, short course, and everything in between.

Fresh off a second-place finish and one of the fastest bike splits we’ve ever seen, Kristian joins us to unpack the chaos in Frankfurt, the penalty drama, and what it really takes to go from an age-grouper with no elite background to a top contender on the world stage.

We dive deep into:
✔️ Kristian’s unique (and very late) start in triathlon
✔️ The story behind his “Go Longer” training group
✔️ His five-year plan that led to a top-10 Kona finish
✔️ Struggles with overtraining, altitude tent mistakes, and a stress fracture that nearly ended it all
✔️ Working with a sports psychologist and the “bus driver” mindset
✔️ His next-level approach to aerodynamics and CDA improvements
✔️ How he takes in 170g of carbs/hour on the bike without gut issues
✔️ Staying calm in the chaos of Frankfurt—including that controversial outside coaching penalty
✔️ His honest thoughts on racing back-to-back with Roth and why it’s “a fun experiment”
✔️ The three key sessions he swears by for getting race fit, fast

And, of course, our quickfire round includes everything from World of Warcraft to strawberry bonks and beer-chugging on podiums. 🎯

Whether you’re chasing Kona or just trying to get through your first Ironman, Kristian’s mindset and story offer something every triathlete can take away.
