The Triathlon Show

Racing is back! The boys talk about a big weekend in racing. Abu Dhabi, T100, and even beyond. They pick who they think will be on the podium this weekend in Miami and start talking about the Olympics coming up with this weekend’s race in Abu Dhabi. Can KB win gold and Kona? The guys also talk about the new time-trial helmets coming into play in cycling and possibly triathlon.

In this week’s episode, the boys are getting back into their stride in training and all things race talk. Recently, Ironman announced their newest partnership with Race Ranger Technologies for all of their Pro Series races. Where is this technology going and how can it be beneficial for race dynamics? They talk the Tokyo marathon for this weekend and by just how much Kipchoge will win by. The boys get a bit excited and jump the gun on talking about T100 Miami, but they will get in more depth next week leading up to the race. They might even place some bets.

In this week’s show, the guys start discussing their seasons' start. Chris talks about his minor injury after Surf City and how he is recuperating. The show takes a moment to talk about Kelvin Kiptum and his recent passing. In the interest of marathon talk, the guys talk about Casey Neistat and his recent 3-hour marathon…on a downhill course. E-bike laws may be more and more prevalent as they become more popular, so the guys talk about the latest law that may become a reality in California. Recently, the PTO announced their California race location at Escape from Alcatraz. There are some mixed feelings about the location.

The crew is back after race weekend at Surf City Marathon and Half Marathon. They do a quick recap on their experiences and list some excuses as to why they didn't go faster. The boys talk about the real race during the Olympic trials and how things shook out there. Also, they get into the PTO T100 and the "contracted athletes," as well as their favorites for the series.

The boys are itching for racing season to get underway, but they still manage to ramble on for longer than anticipated. Austin recaps his Avalon 50 miler race from a few weeks back, the crew discusses Joe Skipper's weighted vest 5k challenge, and Lionel's comeback to full distance and Kona!

Chris is back!  The fellas discuss Tony’s recent Disney Dopey Challenge race experience and if he will be racing in costume from here on out.  They also get into their 2024 goals and race schedules and how early season training has been going.  Chris discusses his plan for finally nabbing that BQ.

Austin and Tony are without Chris in this week’s episode.  They were on their best behavior as they discussed recent articles covering the fastest and slowest races of 2023 on the 70.3 and full IM circuit.  You might be surprised at some of the standings.

The guys also get into the top earners, in terms of prize purse money, of the triathlon world for 2023.  Did your favorite rank where you expected?  Is the PTO the way to go, or should top athletes diversify?  The guys also discuss which pros they think they will see in the Ironman Pro Series or the PTO races.
