This week we get a voicemail from Sarah True, while she’s in Germany, and update on all the latest racing from Sid Talks. Then we debate: what’s the most competitive racing right now (70.3, Ironman, or short-course), if races with pros are better, the most talked about photo in tri right now, and what happens when you’re late to the roll-down ceremony.

Welcome to episode #2 of the merged podcast with the Feisty Media crew. This is your new version of If We Were Riding—a group ride podcast for all your triathlon-ish talk in one place.

For the next few weeks, we will have these episodes here in the Triathlonish feed as we merge, but in the future all episodes will be on the Feisty Triathlon podcast feed so that everything is all in one place.

Today we talk: upcoming events, traveling in creepy vans, our advice for newbie triathletes, what’s wrong with cycling scenes on Netflix, and Sid previews all the weekend’s racing.

Big Triathlonish news: We’re merging podcasts with the Feisty Media crew for a new Triathlonish/If We Were Riding group ride podcast. That way you can get all your triathlon-ish talk in one place.

Kelly will host the new group ride If We Were Riding podcast with Sarah True, and a rotating host of guests. And, we’ll still have Laura Siddall coming on for her Sid Talks segment to update us about all the news of the week.

Yes, there was some big news in the triathlon world yesterday. Sid & Kelly will talk about the doping bust, what the key questions are from here, and how people are responding.

But first: the good stuff in triathlon. A huge (and inspiring, motivating, warm-and-fuzzy) weekend of racing, from Ironman Texas to Peru 70.3 to Challenge Gran Canaria. We want to give them all a hug.

Sid & Kelly sat down for a “quick” episode to talk about training camp, the latest PTO developments and results from this past weekend, and preview the upcoming races this weekend: namely, the American regional champs at Ironman Texas. But then they talked for 50 minutes.

There were some sound issues this week. Kelly’s mic was too hot and Sid’s was too quiet, and this is what happens when everyone’s tired!

How to watch Ironman Texas: Ironman Facebook, Youtube, or Ironman Live

And, because we mistakenly said there was no coverage, how to watch Challenge Gran Canaria: They’re saying they’ll have live coverage on Challenge Family Live’s feed

It’s a quick episode this week. Kelly & Sid talk Oceanside racing, what it means for the rest of the season, the broadcast and things we’d like to see. And how we plan to bond with Lionel over menopause and adopt Jason’s slapping himself strategy.

Sid & Kelly break down their predictions for the kickoff race of the U.S. season: Oceanside 70.3. And they review all the Southern Hemisphere race results from this past weekend: Gwen, Ashleigh, Max, Hayden.

And then Sid talks with triathlon superstar, Meredith Kessler, who just took 4th at her 9th Ironman New Zealand—her 72nd Iron-distance race. What keeps her going? They talk about coming back after baby #2, going for the win in your 40s, and what they've learned over the years.

Note: We also got some of the details of Comrades wrong. The famous massive ultramarathon goes between Durban and Pietermaritzburg in S. Africa.

Before our fun interview with world champion triathlete and producer & writer of the Netflix movie All Quiet on the Western Front, Sid and Kelly first dissect the last two weeks of races. Are we getting old? Can drones be used for broadcast coverage? And other important questions.

Then Sid takes over the mic to talk with Lesley Paterson about the process of becoming an Oscar and BAFTA winning producing, picking award season dresses, and what lessons she’s learned from triathlon.

And, which is more exciting: winning a BAFTA or an XTERRA world championship?

As Sid packs to head to CLASH Miami and then her first race of the year in Chile, we dissect all the races this past weekend: The start of Olympic qualifying season at WTCS Abu Dhabi (and the shoe controversy), farewell tours at Ironman New Zealand, and more drama at Ironman South Africa.

What are the appeal options when something goes wrong? Why couldn’t we watch the long-distance races?
