A surprise early show for you to mini-preview the T100 Grand Final in Qatar this evening. Watch on T100's Youtube at 2a.m. ET tonight (early Friday morning)!

A few highlights this week:

• Congrats to Kirsten Kasper who won her debut 70.3 at La Quinta and to Georgia Taylor-Brown for clocking "the fastest 70.3 in history." What does that mean? Do records matter in triathlon?
• Then it's a quick preview of the T100 racing in Qatar, where it's a winner-take-all situation between Lucy Charles-Barclay, Julie Derron, and Kate Waugh.
• Even more retirements! Is there something about 2025 that's causing all these pros to retire?
• And a kudos to Mark Allen and TriDot's Limitless initiative to get more women to triathlon start lines. There are over 1,000 women already signed up and a waitlist has been started.
• Which brings us to Joanne's question: How do tri clubs work in the U.S.?

And then we share some holiday season gift picks for the triathlete in your life (or for yourself) 🎁
