The Real Tri Squad is back with a jam-packed episode full of hot takes, race-day drama, and triathlon truths! Lisa kicks things off with a wild time trial story featuring a rule-breaking drafter, leading to a heated discussion—do you call them out mid-race or let it slide? We also dive into the world of pro triathlon couples—does training together 24/7 make or break a relationship? Plus, we break down Ironman’s latest prize money trends, the rise (and fall?) of triathlon payouts, and whether the sport attracts athletes who love to spend money.

And of course, Pass or Smash is back! We debate everything from water running and bone stimulators to injury recovery hacks and training shoe rotations. Buckle up for a fast-paced, hilarious, and insightful episode—you won’t want to miss this one!
