Race Breakdown

Challenge Roth

Challenge Roth delivered another massive race day, with huge crowds, fast times and plenty of Kona storylines.

On the men’s side, Sam Laidlow did exactly what Sam Laidlow does: swim near the front, ride aggressively, and make everyone else chase. Kristian Blummenfelt tried to run him down, but Laidlow held it together and defended his title with a new long-distance world best.

Rico Bogen was one of the biggest surprises of the day, going incredibly fast in his first full-distance race and showing he could be a major name if he continues in long-course racing.

On the women’s side, the race did not play out the way most people expected. Alana Seifert had a breakthrough performance, riding strong, running well, and beating some of the biggest names in the sport. Lucy Charles-Barclay finished second, Daisy Davies continued her strong season, and Kat Matthews pushed through stomach issues to finish fourth.

Ironman 70.3 Swansea

Ironman 70.3 Swansea turned into one of the stranger races of the weekend.

On the women’s side, Indie Lee looked in control for much of the race before being held up by cows on course and later crashing near the final 10K. That opened the door for Lizzie Rayner to take the win.

On the men’s side, Harry Palmer made it three Swansea wins in a row, but one of the biggest stories was Mika Noodt’s crash while leading the race. The course setup, age group traffic, road conditions and coverage challenges all became major talking points.

WTCS Hamburg

WTCS Hamburg brought more fast and furious short-course racing.

In the men’s race, Matt Hauser continued his incredible form, winning his third straight Hamburg title. This time, he did it differently, sitting in the group before making his move late and showing he can win in more than one way.

On the women’s side, Leonie Periault made it back-to-back Hamburg wins, while Lisa Tertsch and Tilda Månsson helped shape the final run battle.

The Mixed Relay was also a major storyline, with France taking the win and securing qualification for LA 2028. The relay format once again showed how fast, chaotic and exciting short-course racing can be.

Ironman Lake Placid Preview

Ironman Lake Placid is up next, with four men’s and four women’s Kona slots available.

On the women’s side, the big story is Paula Findlay making her full-distance debut. With her bike strength, experience and tactical racing, she could be a huge factor, but the marathon is still the big unknown. Chelsea Sodaro also returns to validate for Kona, while Lisa Perterer, Tamara Jewett, Grace Thek and Marta Sánchez add even more intrigue.

On the men’s side, Martin Van Riel looks like one of the biggest names to watch, but the field has depth with Matthew Marquardt, Rudy Von Berg, Trevor Foley, Kristian Høgenhaug, Frederic Funk, Jason West, Ben Kanute, Cameron Wurf, Cody Beals and more.

Lake Placid is never an easy course, and with the swim strength, hilly bike, tough run and late-season Kona pressure, this could be one of the more unpredictable races of the season.

Quickfire Q&A

Biggest Roth takeaway?
Sam Laidlow is clearly still a major Kona threat, but the dynamics will change when the Norwegians are racing together.

Biggest women’s Roth surprise?
Alana Seifert taking the win and making a huge jump in performance.

Most chaotic Swansea moment?
Cows on course, crashes, rough roads and Mika Noodt hitting an ambulance while leading.

Best WTCS storyline?
Matt Hauser showing he can win from the front or wait and strike late.

Biggest Lake Placid question?
Can Paula Findlay turn her 70.3 strength into a full-distance win in her Ironman debut?

This week on Another Triathlon Podcast, Jenna-Caer (@jennacaer), Josh (@joshmvernon) and Fede (@fedemultisport) catch up on training, racing, World Cup energy, Tour de France excitement and a very strange weekend in long-course triathlon.

Josh recaps his local triathlon turned duathlon, including a fogged-out swim, a hard run-bike-run effort, and another year of lowering his time on a familiar course. Jenna-Caer shares stories from Montreal after catching up with Alberto Contador and checking out the expansion of his bike brand, Aurum.

From there, the crew dives into a chaotic race weekend, including the cancellation of Ironman 70.3 Nice due to extreme heat, the shortened Ironman Frankfurt format, and the debate around how shortened races should count toward Kona qualification and Ironman Pro Series points.

The episode wraps with a full preview of Challenge Roth, where Kat Matthews and Lucy Charles-Barclay headline the women’s race, and Kristian Blummenfelt, Sam Laidlow, Jonas Schomburg, Patrick Lange, Rico Bogen and Magnus Ditlev make the men’s race one of the most exciting full-distance matchups of the season.

Highlights

• Fede’s World Cup fever in Mexico City
• Josh’s annual race turning into a duathlon
• What it feels like to bike hard after running hard
• Jenna-Caer’s trip to Montreal with Alberto Contador and Aurum Bikes
• Ironman 70.3 Nice being cancelled due to extreme heat
• The tragic accident following the cancelled Nice race weekend
• Ironman Frankfurt being shortened to a full swim, 125K bike and half marathon run
• Casper Stornes and Gustav Iden making another Norwegian statement
• Magnus Ditlev securing his Kona slot and backing up at Challenge Roth
• Jamie Riddle’s swim cap fin and wrong-bag moment in T2
• Whether shortened races should receive full Pro Series points
• Kona qualification and Ironman Pro Series ranking movement
• Challenge Roth women’s preview with Kat Matthews and Lucy Charles-Barclay
• Challenge Roth men’s preview with Kristian Blummenfelt, Sam Laidlow, Jonas Schomburg, Patrick Lange and Rico Bogen
• The possibility of fast times and record attempts at Roth
• How Roth shapes the conversation heading toward Kona

Race Breakdown

Ironman 70.3 Nice Cancellation

The weekend started with the cancellation of Ironman 70.3 Nice due to the extreme heatwave in Europe. The decision came from local authorities, with concerns around medical support, infrastructure, volunteers, athletes and the broader pressure already being placed on the region.

The cancellation was frustrating for athletes, especially age groupers who had travelled and trained for the event, but the crew also discussed the wider safety picture and how race-day decisions become much bigger than just the athletes on the start line.

Ironman Frankfurt

Ironman Frankfurt still went ahead, but in a shortened format because of the heat. The swim stayed the full distance, the bike was cut to 125K, and the run became a half marathon.

The swim was non-wetsuit and extremely warm, which kept a large group together early. On the bike, Nathan Guerbeur took the race on from the front, while the Norwegians stayed controlled and positioned themselves well for the run.

Once onto the run, Casper Stornes took over and looked strong in the heat, with Gustav Iden also moving through for a major result. The race created big changes in the men’s Ironman Pro Series standings and brought up a bigger question: should shortened races count the same when it comes to Pro Series points and Kona slots?

Challenge Roth Preview

Challenge Roth is shaping up to be one of the biggest races of the season.

On the women’s side, Kat Matthews and Lucy Charles-Barclay give the race a completely different dynamic. Lucy brings the front-end swim and bike pressure, while Kat has been running incredibly well and looks ready to chase from behind. Daisy Davies, Fenella Langridge and Alana Seifert also add depth and could shape the race early.

On the men’s side, Kristian Blummenfelt enters as one of the biggest names to watch, but he’ll have serious company. Sam Laidlow, Jonas Schomburg, Patrick Lange, Rico Bogen and Magnus Ditlev all bring different strengths, which could make the swim-bike dynamics very interesting before the marathon decides the race.

Quickfire Q&A

Biggest race-weekend shock?
Ironman 70.3 Nice being cancelled due to extreme heat and local safety concerns.

Strangest race format?
Ironman Frankfurt becoming a full swim, 125K bike and half marathon run.

Biggest Frankfurt question?
How much should a shortened race count toward Pro Series points and Kona qualification?

Most unexpected gear moment?
Jamie Riddle racing with the swim cap fin setup and then grabbing the wrong run bag in T2.

Biggest Roth storyline?
Kat Matthews vs Lucy Charles-Barclay on the women’s side, and Kristian Blummenfelt testing himself against a stacked men’s field.

This week on Another Triathlon Podcast, Jenna-Caer (@jennacaer) and Josh (@joshmvernon) catch up on training, racing, coaching moments, and another packed weekend in triathlon.

Josh recaps a busy week after Ironman 70.3 Happy Valley, including an open water swim race, pacing one of his athletes to a huge 10K PR, and taking his first local KOM. Jenna-Caer shares a training update, talks duathlon qualification plans, and teases a major announcement coming for MNA Coaching.

From there, the episode dives into Ironman 70.3 Elsinore, where Marten Van Riel kept his perfect 70.3 record alive and Kat Matthews fought her way back into the Ironman Pro Series conversation. The crew also breaks down WTCS Quiberon, a huge weekend for France with wins in the men’s race, women’s race, and Mixed Relay.

The episode wraps with a look ahead to Ironman Frankfurt, where Kona slots, Pro Series points, heat, tactics, and the return of major full-distance names are all on the line.

Highlights

• Josh’s post-Happy Valley recovery week
• Open water swim practice and racing for a cause
• Pacing an athlete to a big 10K PR
• The difference between run and bike heart rate zones
• Jenna-Caer’s duathlon qualification plans
• A major MNA Coaching announcement coming next week
• Marten Van Riel staying undefeated over the 70.3 distance
• Kat Matthews running through the field to win Ironman 70.3 Elsinore
• Jamie Riddle and Ben Fah picking up 70.3 Worlds spots
• Fenella Langridge continuing her comeback
• Ironman Pro Series ranking movement after Elsinore
• WTCS Quiberon men’s, women’s, and Mixed Relay recap
• Dorian Coninx winning in front of the French crowd
• Cassandre Beaugrand showing her class again
• France dominating the Mixed Relay on home soil
• Alex Yee’s continued struggle to return to WTCS form
• Ironman Frankfurt preview with Casper Stornes, Gustav Iden, Magnus Ditlev, Vincent Luis and more
• Kona qualification pressure and race dynamics heading into Frankfurt
• 70.3 Worlds Chattanooga qualification strategy for age groupers

Race Breakdown

Ironman 70.3 Elsinore

The men’s race came down to another masterclass from Marten Van Riel. After a bit of swim-start chaos, he stayed near the front, broke away on the bike with Valdemar Solok, and eventually pulled clear on the run to take the win and secure his Nice qualification.

Jamie Riddle also had a much-needed solid race and picked up his 70.3 Worlds slot, while several other major names continued to chase qualification late in the season.

On the women’s side, the front group made Kat Matthews work for it. The swim was aggressive, the bike stayed competitive, and Kat came off the bike with real time to make up. Once onto the run, she flipped the race, moved through the field, and took a big win for her Ironman Pro Series campaign.

WTCS Quiberon

Quiberon was a massive weekend for France.

In the men’s race, Dorian Coninx returned to the top step with a dramatic sprint finish on home soil. The race came down to the final blue carpet turn, where Coninx took advantage and finished it off in front of the French crowd.

In the women’s race, Cassandre Beaugrand showed again why she is so hard to beat when she is on form. After a large group came together off the bike, the race turned into a run battle, with Beaugrand and Tilda Månsson pulling clear before Beaugrand kicked away late.

France completed the weekend sweep in the Mixed Relay, winning without even using Beaugrand. The result showed just how much depth France has heading into the LA Olympic cycle.

Ironman Frankfurt Preview

Ironman Frankfurt is up next, and the men’s race has major Kona implications.

Casper Stornes, Gustav Iden, Magnus Ditlev, Vincent Luis, Gregor Barnaby, Joe Skipper, Antonio Benito López and several other big names are expected to line up. With six Kona slots available and plenty of athletes still chasing qualification, the race could get aggressive early.

The swim could produce a massive front group, which means the opening stages of the bike may be chaotic as athletes fight for position under the 20-metre draft rule. Add in a hot forecast, possible storms, and a deep field of strong bikers and runners, and Frankfurt could become one of the most interesting full-distance races of the season.

Quickfire Q&A

Biggest training takeaway?
Don’t use run heart rate zones for the bike. Bike threshold is usually lower, and getting it wrong can wreck your training and racing.

Best coaching moment?
Josh pacing one of his athletes to a five-minute 10K PR.

Biggest Frankfurt question?
Can the Norwegians control the race, or will Magnus Ditlev, Vincent Luis, and the athletes still chasing Kona slots shake things up?

Episode 136: Happy Valley Battles, Cairns Breakthroughs and Equipment Chaos

This week on Another Triathlon Podcast, Jenna-Caer (@jennacaer) and Josh (@joshmvernon) recap a busy weekend in triathlon, from Josh’s race at Ironman 70.3 Happy Valley to Jenna-Caer’s fun-run weekend at the Banff 10K.

The episode dives into the Happy Valley pro races, with a major men’s battle, a dominant women’s performance, and plenty of Ironman Pro Series movement. The crew also touches on Ironman Cairns, Taylor Knibb’s latest time trial title, Joe Skipper’s crank length drama, and the equipment checks every athlete should be doing before race day.

Highlights

• Jenna-Caer’s Banff 10K fun-run weekend
• Josh’s Ironman 70.3 Happy Valley race recap
• The Mauna Apparel team atmosphere on course
• Why Happy Valley felt like a true St. George-style replacement
• A huge head-to-head battle in the men’s race
• Morgan Pearson’s race-altering bike mechanical
• Paula Findlay controlling the women’s race from the bike
• Ironman Cairns delivering two first-time Ironman winners
• Ironman Hamburg course sabotage discussion
• Taylor Knibb winning another US time trial national title
• Ironman 70.3 Elsinore preview
• Joe Skipper’s crank length issue
• Why power meters, tire pressure, bolts, chains and drivetrain checks matter

Race Breakdown

Ironman 70.3 Happy Valley

The men’s race came down to an exciting 70.3 battle. An early bike mechanical took one of the pre-race favourites out of contention, while the front group reshuffled throughout the bike.

Once the run started, the race became a true head-to-head battle before the winning move came with about 5K to go.

On the women’s side, the race was controlled from the bike. A strong ride created the gap, and from there it became about managing the run and holding the lead to the finish.

Ironman Cairns

Ironman Cairns delivered two first-time Ironman winners and another reminder of how quickly long-course racing can change. The men’s race was controlled from the bike, while the women’s race shifted dramatically on the run after the early leader was forced to withdraw.

Ironman 70.3 Elsinore Preview

Ironman 70.3 Elsinore is shaping up to be an important race for 70.3 World Championship qualification and Pro Series points.

On the men’s side, several major names are still chasing their Nice qualification spots, which should make for aggressive racing. On the women’s side, Kat Matthews looks like the athlete to beat as she returns to racing and looks to rebuild her Pro Series momentum.

Quickfire Q&A

Best personal race-weekend moment?
Jenna-Caer running Banff for fun and actually enjoying the views.

Big Happy Valley takeaway?
It was a tough, honest course that created great racing.

Best men’s race storyline?
A head-to-head run battle that came down to the final few kilometres.

Best women’s race storyline?
A controlled bike performance setting up the win.

What the F of the week?
The Ironman Hamburg course sabotage with metal and glass reportedly placed on the bike course.

Between unpredictable weather, a demanding bike course, and a race that always exposes weaknesses early in the season, this was not just a race, it was a statement.

The crew also reflects on how Oceanside continues to evolve as a true benchmark event, and why what we saw here matters heading into the rest of the year.

Highlights
• Oceanside 70.3 race breakdown
• Challenging conditions and course dynamics
• Key performances and standout athletes
• Why Oceanside always exposes early season fitness
• Tactical insights from the pro race
• How the race unfolded across swim, bike, and run
• What this means for the rest of the season
• Early season takeaways and shifting narratives

Quickfire Q&A
• What makes Oceanside sneaky hard?
