2020 saw the introduction of the Professional Triathletes Organisation and their first event, the PTO Championship in Daytona. It also saw lots of people asking the same questions about the PTO. What are they? What is their business model? How do they plan to make money? Why don't they get along with Ironman? 

This week we are joined by the CEO of the PTO, Sam Renouf to answer all of your questions about the PTO. Sam was incredibly open, honest and candid with his answers to all of your questions. By the end of this episode we hope you will understand what the PTO is, what they want to do and how they want to do it.

It finally happened!

The inaugural PTO Championship took place in Daytona and this week we do a deep dive into every aspect of the event.

Did the production live up to the hype? Did we see a war between the long and short course athletes? Did James pick anyone correct last week?

We give our thoughts, feedback, things we loved and what we think can be improved at this new and exciting racing format. We geek out about some of the biggest names in the sport racing and give you our recap of exactly how the action unfolded.
