In this episode of the Tracklon Podcast, hosts JennaCaer and Josh welcome Canadian Olympian and professional triathlete Matt Sharpe to the show. 

Matt opens up about how Simon Whitfield’s Olympic gold first inspired him to get into the sport and how his path through youth racing, Olympic-level competition, and recurring injuries shaped his growth as an athlete. 

Matt shares the pivotal moments in his career—injury struggles, chasing Olympic dreams, and shifting focus to the Ironman 70.3 distance. He opens up about the lessons learned through setbacks, the evolution of his training philosophy, and why intent matters more than content in training.

The crew also breaks down the upcoming Ironman Oceanside 70.3 and T100 Singapore races, including predictions, pro field dynamics, and how heat, strategy, and start lists are set to shake things up. With insight into Lionel Sanders, Kristian Blummenfelt, Lucy Charles-Barclay, Ashleigh Gentle, Tamara Jewett, and more—this episode is stacked with triathlon talk from three sides of the sport: racing, commentary, and fandom.
