This week on Another Triathlon Podcast, Josh (@joshmvernon) and Fede (@fedemultisport) are joined by the voice of Ironman, Mike Reilly.

Mike has called more than 200 Ironman races, announced more than half a million athletes across the finish line, and is the only person inducted into the Ironman Hall of Fame, USA Triathlon Hall of Fame, and Running USA Hall of Champions.

In this special episode, Mike talks about his new book, Finding Your Finish Line: The Voice of Ironman Mike Reilly, and reflects on what it really means to reach a start line, cross a finish line, and carry those lessons into the rest of life.

The conversation dives into why “You are an Ironman” was never about Mike, what it feels like hearing other announcers say those words, why he stepped away from the microphone, and how the athletes, stories, struggles and finish-line moments changed him along the way.

Highlights

• Mike Reilly joins the show
• The meaning behind “You are an Ironman”
• Why those four words belong to the athlete
• What it feels like hearing other announcers carry the call forward
• Why Mike stepped away from full-time announcing
• The emotional weight of missing family moments over decades of races
• His new book, Finding Your Finish Line
• Writing with Sarah Wassner Flynn
• Why this book focuses on lessons, not just race stories
• The idea that we are the cause of our own experiences
• Start lines, finish lines and the fear of beginning
• Why finish lines show you where you’re going, not just where you’ve been
• Mike’s early career as a special education teacher
• The connection between helping kids into the ocean and helping athletes reach the start line
• How athlete stories helped Mike through his own difficult seasons
• What he says to athletes who miss the official cutoff
• The names he has butchered, the calls he has missed, and the porta potty stories
• Why triathlon’s future still looks strong

Episode Breakdown

The Voice Behind the Finish Line

Mike talks about what it feels like to hear other announcers say “You are an Ironman” now that he has stepped away from full-time race announcing.

For him, those words were never about ownership. They were about the athlete, the sacrifice, and the moment their life changed at the finish line.

Why He Stepped Away

After decades on the microphone, Mike explains why the decision to step away was the right one. It was not one single reason, but a mix of family, time, hearing challenges, long race days, and knowing when it was time to listen to the voice in the back of his head.

Finding Your Finish Line

Mike’s new book looks beyond race-day stories. It explores the lessons he saw through thousands of athletes and endurance events: courage, fear, responsibility, positivity, people, and purpose.

He talks about the idea that we are the cause of our own experiences, not because we control everything that happens to us, but because we control how we respond, how we act, and how we move forward.

Start Lines and Life Lessons

One of the biggest themes in the conversation is that start lines are often just as hard as finish lines.

Mike reflects on how his early work as a special education teacher shaped the way he later supported athletes, especially those standing at the edge of fear before the swim start.

The Finish Line Impact

The crew also talks about the emotional power of the Ironman finish line, including what happens when athletes miss the cutoff, how Mike handled those moments, and why sometimes the crowd said more than words ever could.

Mike also shares the humour behind the job, from mispronounced names to being called an Ironman from inside a porta potty.

Race Breakdown

Ironman Kalmar

Ironman Kalmar delivered a historically fast day on the men’s side.

Jonas Schomburg finally got his first full-distance win, racing the aggressive way everyone loves to see from him, but this time holding it together all the way to the finish. He broke Alistair Brownlee’s course record by 15 minutes and ran a 2:34 marathon, showing he can be a serious threat when he nails the pacing.

Matthew Marquardt finished second and continued to prove that, with the cramping issues behind him, he is one of the most exciting full-distance athletes heading toward Kona.

Robert Kallin also had one of the wildest bike splits of the season, riding 3:53 before paying for it on the marathon. It did not turn into the overall result he wanted, but the bike split was still a massive statement.

On the women’s side, Laura Philipp did exactly what everyone expected. She dominated the race, won by a huge margin, and showed she is coming into form at exactly the right time. Rachel Zelinskis led early out of the swim, but Laura took control and never really looked under pressure.

T100 Vancouver

T100 Vancouver brought a strong women’s-only race, even if the crew felt the promotion around the event was quieter than expected.

Julie Derron took the win, Kate Waugh returned with a strong second place, Georgia Taylor-Brown rounded out the podium, and Paula Findlay finished fourth after her Ironman Lake Placid breakthrough.

The race had actual position changes and lead battles, which made it fun to watch, with Julie once again showing just how versatile she is across distances.

Looking Ahead

WTCS Weihai is up next, with Cassandre Beaugrand, Beth Potter, Lisa Tertsch, Gwen Jorgensen, Kate Waugh and more on the women’s start list. On the men’s side, Matt Hauser looks like the clear name to watch, especially with Vasco Vilaça, Alex Yee and Hayden Wilde not on the start list.

The crew also looks ahead to Ironman 70.3 Zell am See, the final Pro Series race before the World Championships. Laura Philipp is currently on the women’s start list, while Jelle Geens headlines the men’s side as he tests his fitness before 70.3 Worlds.

And with Nice coming up fast, the episode wraps with a few reminders for athletes racing there: get your bike checked, make sure your brakes are dialled, practice bike handling outside, and take the descents seriously.

Quickfire Q&A

Biggest team news?
Team Mauna 2027 applications are open, with new World Championship trisuit incentives and a major giveaway.

Biggest personal update?
Jenna-Caer is officially signed up for HYROX Vancouver.

Biggest Kalmar takeaway?
Jonas Schomburg finally put together the full-distance performance everyone knew was possible.

Biggest women’s Kalmar takeaway?

This week on Another Triathlon Podcast, Jenna-Caer (@jennacaer) and Josh (@joshmvernon) are joined by special guest Nick Goldston from That Triathlon Life.

Nick joins the show to talk about how he found triathlon, his love of bikes, the draw of endurance sport, and how he balances training with a very different kind of career as a Grammy-winning songwriter, producer, teacher and creative.

The conversation dives into the overlap between creative work and triathlon, why triathlon feels so satisfying because of its measurable progress, and how racing gives people a way to find discomfort in a world that has become almost too comfortable.

Nick also shares how he became part of the That Triathlon Life podcast with Eric Lagerstrom and Paula Findlay, what it’s like being the age group voice alongside two pros, and how that community has shaped his relationship with the sport.

From there, the crew catches up on recent racing, including Josh’s sprint triathlon weekend and Jenna-Caer’s duathlon provincial championship win and World Championship qualification.

The episode wraps with previews for T100 Vancouver and Ironman Kalmar, including Paula Findlay racing on Canadian soil, Georgia Taylor-Brown, Kate Waugh and Julie Derron in the T100 mix, and a strong Ironman Kalmar field with Laura Philipp, Jackie Hering, Matthew Marquardt, Jonas Schomburg, Trevor Foley, Greg Barnaby and more.

Highlights

• Nick Goldston joins the show
• How riding bikes led Nick into triathlon
• Going from first race to an overall podium years later
• Balancing music, teaching, podcasting and training
• Nick’s work as a Grammy-winning songwriter and producer
• The parallels between creative work and endurance sport
• Why triathlon’s measurable progress is so addictive
• Training, racing and finding discomfort in modern life
• How Nick became part of That Triathlon Life
• What it’s like being the age group voice on a major triathlon podcast
• Josh’s sprint triathlon and training weekend
• Jenna-Caer’s duathlon provincial championship win
• Jenna-Caer qualifying for Duathlon Worlds
• T100 Vancouver women’s preview
• Paula Findlay racing after her Ironman Lake Placid win
• Georgia Taylor-Brown, Julie Derron, Kate Waugh and Lucy Byram in the mix
• Ironman Kalmar men’s and women’s previews
• Final Kona slots and Pro Series points on the line

Guest Segment: Nick Goldston

Nick talks about falling in love with bikes as a kid, finding triathlon later in life, and realizing the sport gave him a way to measure progress in a way creative work often does not.

He also shares how he first connected with Eric Lagerstrom through music, how that friendship eventually became part of That Triathlon Life, and why the podcast works because each host brings something real and different to the table.

One of the biggest themes of the conversation is authenticity: in music, in podcasting, and in sport. Nick talks about how trying to predict what people want rarely works as well as simply saying something true and trusting that people will connect with it.

Race Preview: T100 Vancouver

The T100 series returns in Vancouver with a women’s-only race and a start list full of interesting question marks.

Georgia Taylor-Brown looks like one of the favourites, especially with her strength on the bike and current form. Julie Derron and Kate Waugh are also major names to watch, while Lucy Byram, Taylor Spivey, Lydia Russell and others could all shape the race.

Paula Findlay is also racing after her Ironman Lake Placid win, and with the race taking place in Canada, there is plenty of excitement around seeing what she can do after such a strong full-distance debut.

Race Preview: Ironman Kalmar

Ironman Kalmar is the final Ironman Pro Series race before the World Championship races, with Kona slots and points still on the line.

On the men’s side, the field includes Jonas Schomburg, Matthew Marquardt, Antonio Benito López, Greg Barnaby, Trevor Foley, Matt Hanson, Cameron Wurf and more. With several athletes already qualified for Kona, the slots could roll, but the Pro Series points still make this a very important race.

Matthew Marquardt comes in after a strong season and fresh off the podcast interview in Episode 141, while Jonas Schomburg is still looking for the kind of full-distance performance that matches his front-end swim-bike strength. Trevor Foley is another major name to watch as he continues chasing Pro Series points.

On the women’s side, Laura Philipp is the clear name to watch if she is on form. Jackie Hering, Katrine Græsbøll Christensen, Rachel Zelinskis and Sarah Svensk add depth, but if Laura races like the athlete we know she can be, she will be very hard to beat.

Quickfire Q&A

Guest of the week?
Nick Goldston from That Triathlon Life.

Best interview theme?

Biggest personal race update?
Jenna-Caer winning the provincial duathlon championship and qualifying for Worlds.

This week on Another Triathlon Podcast, Jenna-Caer (@jennacaer) and Josh (@joshmvernon) are joined by special guest Matthew Marquardt.

Matthew talks about his rapid rise in triathlon, from swimming at Princeton and biking across the country during COVID, to winning Kona as an age grouper, turning pro, balancing medical school at Ohio State, and becoming one of the top full-distance athletes in the sport.

He shares how he got into triathlon, why he waited before taking his pro card, how he balances racing with medical school, and what finally helped him solve the cramping issues that affected several of his races last season.

The episode also dives into his Ironman South Africa win, Cape Epic experience, Ironman Lake Placid performance, and what he believes will matter most heading into Kona.

After the interview, Jenna-Caer and Josh recap Ironman 70.3 Boise, where Sam Long delivered a huge performance with a massive bike ride and dominant win, and WTCS London, where Matt Hauser and Cassandre Beaugrand continued their incredible form.

Highlights

Race Breakdown

Ironman 70.3 Boise

Boise brought rough swim conditions, a big men’s field, and one of Sam Long’s strongest performances yet. After a solid swim in choppy water, Sam went all-in on the bike, set a new course record split, and ran strong enough to finish off a dominant win.

On the women’s side, Kirsten Kasper showed her short-course speed can translate to 70.3 racing, running through for the win after a strong swim-bike battle at the front.

WTCS London

WTCS London delivered more fast, chaotic sprint-distance racing. Matt Hauser continued his standout season with another win, while Cassandre Beaugrand showed again why she is one of the hardest athletes in the world to beat when the race comes down to the run.

Race Breakdown

Ironman Lake Placid

Ironman Lake Placid delivered a huge day of racing, with Kona slots, Pro Series points and course records all part of the story.

On the women’s side, Paula Findlay made her Ironman debut and looked right at home. Nicole saw her on course and talked about the composure Paula showed throughout the day, even while asking for time gaps and trying to stay fully aware of the race behind her.

Paula’s bike strength was always expected to suit Lake Placid, but the big question was how she would handle the marathon in her first full-distance race. She answered that with a steady run and a major win, securing her Kona slot in the process.

Marta Sánchez backed up another strong Ironman performance, while Rachel Zelenskis impressed after a tough stretch with injury and recovery. Tamara Jewett once again showed her fight with the fastest run of the day, and Chelsea Sodaro got herself to the finish to validate for Kona.

On the men’s side, Marten Van Riel took control early and never really looked under pressure. He swam near the front, took command on the bike, and ran strong to win with a new course record.

Matthew Marquardt had another excellent race, finishing second after riding incredibly well and backing it up with a strong marathon. The crew also talks about his cramping issues, what he believes caused them, and why Lake Placid was a big confirmation race for him.

Behind them, Ben Kanute and Jason West gave us one of the best battles of the day. Jason pushed hard and looked like he might run onto the podium, but Ben stayed composed, smelled blood late, and moved past him for third.

The race also had big Kona qualification implications. Several athletes already had their slots, which meant the rolldown went deep and gave a few major names the ticket they needed.

Ironman 70.3 Boise Preview

Ironman 70.3 Boise is shaping up to be much more exciting than expected.

On the men’s side, the field includes Sam Long, Vincent Luis, Jackson Laundry, Ari Klau, Matt Hanson, Cam Wurf, Leonard Arnold, Sam Osborne and more. With several athletes still chasing 70.3 Worlds qualification, the race could be aggressive from the start.

The crew talks about how a possible wetsuit swim could change the race dynamics, especially for someone like Sam Long. If the swim keeps the field closer together, Boise could turn into a massive run battle with four or five athletes still in contention late.

Jackson Laundry is another major name to watch as he returns from injury and comes into the race after a strong training block. Nicole gives some insight into where he’s at and why this could be a good race for him.

On the women’s side, the start list includes Hannah Berry, Jackie Hering, Hannah De Vet, Grace Alexander, Lydia Russell, Kate Curran, Rebecca Clarke and Lisa Perterer, who is currently listed to back up after Lake Placid.

With several strong runners and athletes coming in fresh, the women’s race could also come down to who has the legs late.

Quickfire Q&A

Guest co-host of the week?
Nicole Falcaro joins after being on course at Ironman Lake Placid.

Biggest Lake Placid takeaway?
Paula Findlay looked completely ready for full-distance racing in her Ironman debut.

Best men’s storyline?
Marten Van Riel dominating the race and Matthew Marquardt proving he can execute without the cramping issues.

Best late-race battle?
Ben Kanute running past Jason West for third after Jason pushed himself right to the limit.

Biggest Boise question?
Can the wetsuit swim keep Sam Long close enough to make this a true run battle?

Most interesting Boise comeback story?
Jackson Laundry returning to racing and potentially being right in the mix.

Race Breakdown

Challenge Roth

Challenge Roth delivered another massive race day, with huge crowds, fast times and plenty of Kona storylines.

On the men’s side, Sam Laidlow did exactly what Sam Laidlow does: swim near the front, ride aggressively, and make everyone else chase. Kristian Blummenfelt tried to run him down, but Laidlow held it together and defended his title with a new long-distance world best.

Rico Bogen was one of the biggest surprises of the day, going incredibly fast in his first full-distance race and showing he could be a major name if he continues in long-course racing.

On the women’s side, the race did not play out the way most people expected. Alana Seifert had a breakthrough performance, riding strong, running well, and beating some of the biggest names in the sport. Lucy Charles-Barclay finished second, Daisy Davies continued her strong season, and Kat Matthews pushed through stomach issues to finish fourth.

Ironman 70.3 Swansea

Ironman 70.3 Swansea turned into one of the stranger races of the weekend.

On the women’s side, Indie Lee looked in control for much of the race before being held up by cows on course and later crashing near the final 10K. That opened the door for Lizzie Rayner to take the win.

On the men’s side, Harry Palmer made it three Swansea wins in a row, but one of the biggest stories was Mika Noodt’s crash while leading the race. The course setup, age group traffic, road conditions and coverage challenges all became major talking points.

WTCS Hamburg

WTCS Hamburg brought more fast and furious short-course racing.

In the men’s race, Matt Hauser continued his incredible form, winning his third straight Hamburg title. This time, he did it differently, sitting in the group before making his move late and showing he can win in more than one way.

On the women’s side, Leonie Periault made it back-to-back Hamburg wins, while Lisa Tertsch and Tilda Månsson helped shape the final run battle.

The Mixed Relay was also a major storyline, with France taking the win and securing qualification for LA 2028. The relay format once again showed how fast, chaotic and exciting short-course racing can be.

Ironman Lake Placid Preview

Ironman Lake Placid is up next, with four men’s and four women’s Kona slots available.

On the women’s side, the big story is Paula Findlay making her full-distance debut. With her bike strength, experience and tactical racing, she could be a huge factor, but the marathon is still the big unknown. Chelsea Sodaro also returns to validate for Kona, while Lisa Perterer, Tamara Jewett, Grace Thek and Marta Sánchez add even more intrigue.

On the men’s side, Martin Van Riel looks like one of the biggest names to watch, but the field has depth with Matthew Marquardt, Rudy Von Berg, Trevor Foley, Kristian Høgenhaug, Frederic Funk, Jason West, Ben Kanute, Cameron Wurf, Cody Beals and more.

Lake Placid is never an easy course, and with the swim strength, hilly bike, tough run and late-season Kona pressure, this could be one of the more unpredictable races of the season.

Quickfire Q&A

Biggest Roth takeaway?
Sam Laidlow is clearly still a major Kona threat, but the dynamics will change when the Norwegians are racing together.

Biggest women’s Roth surprise?
Alana Seifert taking the win and making a huge jump in performance.

Most chaotic Swansea moment?
Cows on course, crashes, rough roads and Mika Noodt hitting an ambulance while leading.

Best WTCS storyline?
Matt Hauser showing he can win from the front or wait and strike late.

Biggest Lake Placid question?
Can Paula Findlay turn her 70.3 strength into a full-distance win in her Ironman debut?

Jenna-Caer shares stories from Montreal after catching up with Alberto Contador and checking out the expansion of his bike brand, Aurum.

From there, the crew dives into a chaotic race weekend, including the cancellation of Ironman 70.3 Nice due to extreme heat, the shortened Ironman Frankfurt format, and the debate around how shortened races should count toward Kona qualification and Ironman Pro Series points.

Race Breakdown

Ironman 70.3 Nice Cancellation

The weekend started with the cancellation of Ironman 70.3 Nice due to the extreme heatwave in Europe. The decision came from local authorities, with concerns around medical support, infrastructure, volunteers, athletes and the broader pressure already being placed on the region.

The cancellation was frustrating for athletes, especially age groupers who had travelled and trained for the event, but the crew also discussed the wider safety picture and how race-day decisions become much bigger than just the athletes on the start line.

Ironman Frankfurt

Ironman Frankfurt still went ahead, but in a shortened format because of the heat. The swim stayed the full distance, the bike was cut to 125K, and the run became a half marathon.

The swim was non-wetsuit and extremely warm, which kept a large group together early. On the bike, Nathan Guerbeur took the race on from the front, while the Norwegians stayed controlled and positioned themselves well for the run.

Once onto the run, Casper Stornes took over and looked strong in the heat, with Gustav Iden also moving through for a major result. The race created big changes in the men’s Ironman Pro Series standings and brought up a bigger question: should shortened races count the same when it comes to Pro Series points and Kona slots?

Challenge Roth Preview

Challenge Roth is shaping up to be one of the biggest races of the season.

On the women’s side, Kat Matthews and Lucy Charles-Barclay give the race a completely different dynamic. Lucy brings the front-end swim and bike pressure, while Kat has been running incredibly well and looks ready to chase from behind. Daisy Davies, Fenella Langridge and Alana Seifert also add depth and could shape the race early.

On the men’s side, Kristian Blummenfelt enters as one of the biggest names to watch, but he’ll have serious company. Sam Laidlow, Jonas Schomburg, Patrick Lange, Rico Bogen and Magnus Ditlev all bring different strengths, which could make the swim-bike dynamics very interesting before the marathon decides the race.

Quickfire Q&A

Biggest race-weekend shock?
Ironman 70.3 Nice being cancelled due to extreme heat and local safety concerns.

Strangest race format?
Ironman Frankfurt becoming a full swim, 125K bike and half marathon run.

Biggest Frankfurt question?
How much should a shortened race count toward Pro Series points and Kona qualification?

Most unexpected gear moment?
Jamie Riddle racing with the swim cap fin setup and then grabbing the wrong run bag in T2.

Biggest Roth storyline?
Kat Matthews vs Lucy Charles-Barclay on the women’s side, and Kristian Blummenfelt testing himself against a stacked men’s field.

This week on Another Triathlon Podcast, Jenna-Caer (@jennacaer) and Josh (@joshmvernon) catch up on training, racing, coaching moments, and another packed weekend in triathlon.

Josh recaps a busy week after Ironman 70.3 Happy Valley, including an open water swim race, pacing one of his athletes to a huge 10K PR, and taking his first local KOM. Jenna-Caer shares a training update, talks duathlon qualification plans, and teases a major announcement coming for MNA Coaching.

From there, the episode dives into Ironman 70.3 Elsinore, where Marten Van Riel kept his perfect 70.3 record alive and Kat Matthews fought her way back into the Ironman Pro Series conversation. The crew also breaks down WTCS Quiberon, a huge weekend for France with wins in the men’s race, women’s race, and Mixed Relay.

The episode wraps with a look ahead to Ironman Frankfurt, where Kona slots, Pro Series points, heat, tactics, and the return of major full-distance names are all on the line.

Highlights

• Josh’s post-Happy Valley recovery week
• Open water swim practice and racing for a cause
• Pacing an athlete to a big 10K PR
• The difference between run and bike heart rate zones
• Jenna-Caer’s duathlon qualification plans
• A major MNA Coaching announcement coming next week
• Marten Van Riel staying undefeated over the 70.3 distance
• Kat Matthews running through the field to win Ironman 70.3 Elsinore
• Jamie Riddle and Ben Fah picking up 70.3 Worlds spots
• Fenella Langridge continuing her comeback
• Ironman Pro Series ranking movement after Elsinore
• WTCS Quiberon men’s, women’s, and Mixed Relay recap
• Dorian Coninx winning in front of the French crowd
• Cassandre Beaugrand showing her class again
• France dominating the Mixed Relay on home soil
• Alex Yee’s continued struggle to return to WTCS form
• Ironman Frankfurt preview with Casper Stornes, Gustav Iden, Magnus Ditlev, Vincent Luis and more
• Kona qualification pressure and race dynamics heading into Frankfurt
• 70.3 Worlds Chattanooga qualification strategy for age groupers

Race Breakdown

Ironman 70.3 Elsinore

The men’s race came down to another masterclass from Marten Van Riel. After a bit of swim-start chaos, he stayed near the front, broke away on the bike with Valdemar Solok, and eventually pulled clear on the run to take the win and secure his Nice qualification.

Jamie Riddle also had a much-needed solid race and picked up his 70.3 Worlds slot, while several other major names continued to chase qualification late in the season.

On the women’s side, the front group made Kat Matthews work for it. The swim was aggressive, the bike stayed competitive, and Kat came off the bike with real time to make up. Once onto the run, she flipped the race, moved through the field, and took a big win for her Ironman Pro Series campaign.

WTCS Quiberon

Quiberon was a massive weekend for France.

In the men’s race, Dorian Coninx returned to the top step with a dramatic sprint finish on home soil. The race came down to the final blue carpet turn, where Coninx took advantage and finished it off in front of the French crowd.

In the women’s race, Cassandre Beaugrand showed again why she is so hard to beat when she is on form. After a large group came together off the bike, the race turned into a run battle, with Beaugrand and Tilda Månsson pulling clear before Beaugrand kicked away late.

France completed the weekend sweep in the Mixed Relay, winning without even using Beaugrand. The result showed just how much depth France has heading into the LA Olympic cycle.

Ironman Frankfurt Preview

Ironman Frankfurt is up next, and the men’s race has major Kona implications.

Casper Stornes, Gustav Iden, Magnus Ditlev, Vincent Luis, Gregor Barnaby, Joe Skipper, Antonio Benito López and several other big names are expected to line up. With six Kona slots available and plenty of athletes still chasing qualification, the race could get aggressive early.

The swim could produce a massive front group, which means the opening stages of the bike may be chaotic as athletes fight for position under the 20-metre draft rule. Add in a hot forecast, possible storms, and a deep field of strong bikers and runners, and Frankfurt could become one of the most interesting full-distance races of the season.

Quickfire Q&A

Biggest training takeaway?
Don’t use run heart rate zones for the bike. Bike threshold is usually lower, and getting it wrong can wreck your training and racing.

Best coaching moment?
Josh pacing one of his athletes to a five-minute 10K PR.

Biggest Frankfurt question?
Can the Norwegians control the race, or will Magnus Ditlev, Vincent Luis, and the athletes still chasing Kona slots shake things up?

Episode 136: Happy Valley Battles, Cairns Breakthroughs and Equipment Chaos

This week on Another Triathlon Podcast, Jenna-Caer (@jennacaer) and Josh (@joshmvernon) recap a busy weekend in triathlon, from Josh’s race at Ironman 70.3 Happy Valley to Jenna-Caer’s fun-run weekend at the Banff 10K.

The episode dives into the Happy Valley pro races, with a major men’s battle, a dominant women’s performance, and plenty of Ironman Pro Series movement. The crew also touches on Ironman Cairns, Taylor Knibb’s latest time trial title, Joe Skipper’s crank length drama, and the equipment checks every athlete should be doing before race day.

Highlights

• Jenna-Caer’s Banff 10K fun-run weekend
• Josh’s Ironman 70.3 Happy Valley race recap
• The Mauna Apparel team atmosphere on course
• Why Happy Valley felt like a true St. George-style replacement
• A huge head-to-head battle in the men’s race
• Morgan Pearson’s race-altering bike mechanical
• Paula Findlay controlling the women’s race from the bike
• Ironman Cairns delivering two first-time Ironman winners
• Ironman Hamburg course sabotage discussion
• Taylor Knibb winning another US time trial national title
• Ironman 70.3 Elsinore preview
• Joe Skipper’s crank length issue
• Why power meters, tire pressure, bolts, chains and drivetrain checks matter

Race Breakdown

Ironman 70.3 Happy Valley

The men’s race came down to an exciting 70.3 battle. An early bike mechanical took one of the pre-race favourites out of contention, while the front group reshuffled throughout the bike.

Once the run started, the race became a true head-to-head battle before the winning move came with about 5K to go.

On the women’s side, the race was controlled from the bike. A strong ride created the gap, and from there it became about managing the run and holding the lead to the finish.

Ironman Cairns

Ironman Cairns delivered two first-time Ironman winners and another reminder of how quickly long-course racing can change. The men’s race was controlled from the bike, while the women’s race shifted dramatically on the run after the early leader was forced to withdraw.

Ironman 70.3 Elsinore Preview

Ironman 70.3 Elsinore is shaping up to be an important race for 70.3 World Championship qualification and Pro Series points.

On the men’s side, several major names are still chasing their Nice qualification spots, which should make for aggressive racing. On the women’s side, Kat Matthews looks like the athlete to beat as she returns to racing and looks to rebuild her Pro Series momentum.

Quickfire Q&A

Best personal race-weekend moment?
Jenna-Caer running Banff for fun and actually enjoying the views.

Big Happy Valley takeaway?
It was a tough, honest course that created great racing.

Best men’s race storyline?
A head-to-head run battle that came down to the final few kilometres.

Best women’s race storyline?
A controlled bike performance setting up the win.

What the F of the week?
The Ironman Hamburg course sabotage with metal and glass reportedly placed on the bike course.

 Morgan Pearson, Sam Long, Trevor Foley, Jason West, Matt Hanson, Matthew Marquardt and Ben Kanute all bring very different race dynamics.

Happy Valley women’s race to watch?
 Paula Findlay looks like a strong pick on this style of course, but Hannah Berry, Grace Alexander, Tamara Jewett, Lydia Russell and Jackie Hering all make it interesting.

This week’s episode goes inside Mauna Apparel with co founders Gonzalo and Philip. They break down why the brand started, what was broken in the custom kit world, and what it actually takes to develop fast kit that holds up on race day. Jenna Caer (@jennacaer) is joined by Josh (@joshmvernon) and Fede (@fedemultisport), with the crew also sharing training updates, Team Mauna camp prep, and a clear rundown of Supertri’s major changes for 2026.

A shorter bonus segment closes the episode, Fede sits down with Jane Sharman, Race Director of Challenge Wanaka, to unpack why this race has become one of the sport’s most iconic destination events.

Highlights

Guests Gonzalo and Philip share how Mauna Apparel started from a real gap in club kits, quality, pricing, design flexibility, and missed turnaround timelines

What product development really looks like, fabric sourcing, prototyping, athlete testing, and why new product lines can take a year or more

Wind tunnel testing, why aerodynamics are personal, and what it means when off the shelf suits consistently test well across multiple athletes

Pro athlete partnerships and why trust, fit, innovation, and long term commitment matter when signing top talent

Team Mauna camp scouting in Scottsdale, dry desert conditions, hydration, and what athletes can expect

Why the Mauna Racing community keeps growing, global presence, race weekend meetups, and the value of having people in your corner on race day

Industry insight from inside the business side, where the sport is thriving but professionalism often lags behind athlete commitment

Supertri changes for 2026, three qualifier races feeding a Grand Final, more draft legal sprint racing, and a major prize purse at the final

Challenge Wanaka Interview
Fede interviews Jane Sharman, Race Director of Challenge Wanaka, ahead of the event’s 20th anniversary. She shares how the race began with early discussions in 2006 and the first edition in 2007, making it one of the first Challenge Family events outside of Challenge Roth. Today it has grown into a three day festival with racing for every age and ability, from preschool kids on scooters and slip and slides, to juniors, to seniors, and a full pro field.

Jane explains how the event is run by a charitable trust that uses community grants to subsidise junior racing, keeping the festival accessible for local kids. She also walks through sustainability initiatives, including major waste minimisation efforts and a push toward a disposable cup free event.

On the course, she highlights a lake swim in Lake Wanaka, a two lap 90k bike course with one lane bridges and cattle grids to be aware of, plus a two lap run course that is flatter and faster than the previous Glen Dhu version. She also shares why the event hub design is a win for spectators, with swim, bike, and run all lapping through the same central point.

Jenna and Josh catch up on training, travel, and the early season triathlon buzz. Josh is rebuilding his run carefully ahead of Tokyo while stacking big swim and bike weeks. Jenna-Caer is back from Qatar and still feeling the Samla 100, a wild 100 km multi sport race that delivered five transitions, deep sand, and a finish rate that made the cutoff times feel very real.

 • Bingo board segment, predictions on doping news, first time world champions, Paula Findlay’s full distance debut, Supertri short shoot impact, and whether Cam Wurf can win a pro series race

Quickfire Q and A

This week on Another Triathlon Podcast, Josh (@joshmvernon) and Fede (@fedemultisport) sit down with Ray Maker, aka DC Rainmaker (@dcrainmaker), who you will know from his popular YouTube gear reviews HERE, for a no fluff conversation about the gear choices triathletes obsess over every off season. Ray joins from Amsterdam, mid move, surrounded by boxes and pallets, and still manages to deliver exactly what he has built his reputation on for 15 plus years, honest reviews, clear explanations, and consumer first advice.

Jenna (@jennacaer) is deep in race prep for Qatar, so this one is a Josh and Fede episode, and it hits every big question athletes ask when they are trying to buy speed, buy simplicity, or just avoid wasting money on something that looks cool but does not work.

From beginner watch setups and bike computers, to heart rate straps vs armbands, HRV trends, crash detection, satellite SOS, and why swim tech has barely moved in a decade, Ray lays out what actually matters and why.

Highlights
• How DC Rainmaker started, from an Ironman training blog to the most trusted tech reviews in endurance sport
• Why price matters, and why every product review should be framed through value
• What makes a product good, does it do what it claims, do new features work, do old features break, is it worth upgrading
• Swim tech reality check, why innovation has been minimal, what breaks open water GPS tracks, and why Form goggles are the one company pushing forward
• Bike tech today, what has improved, what hasn’t, and why pacing tools and course planning are the real gains
• Beginner triathlon setup, what to buy first, where to save money, and why older top tier watches can be incredible value
• Power meters, why Favero pedals are the sweet spot, and when it makes sense to add a power meter at time of bike purchase
• HRV, what it’s good for, why trends beat day to day obsession, and how alcohol, sickness, and poor sleep show up instantly
• Optical heart rate in 2026, when wrist sensors are great, when they struggle, and why armbands might be the accuracy king
• Ray’s simple race day gear list, mid range bike computer, power meter pedals, and a high end watch, plus why Coros wins on value

Quickfire Q&A
• What should a beginner triathlete buy first, a good value triathlon capable watch, then decide if a bike computer and power meter actually match your goals
• Chest strap, wrist, or armband, armband is often most accurate, especially when sweat and cold weather mess with chest straps
• Is HRV worth paying attention to, yes, but use it as a trend and an early warning, not a daily scoreboard
• What is the hardest part of auto transitions, T2 to run, because the watch cannot know where that exact line is
• What is Ray showing up with in a few years, a trusted mid range bike computer, Favero power meter pedals, and a high end Garmin watch as a reference level setup

This week on Another Triathlon Podcast, we’re joined by Mark Matthews from ProTriNews for one of our most fun and wide ranging conversations yet. From racing plans and off season chaos to bold predictions for the year ahead, this episode is built around our first ever Triathlon Bingo card, where we put the sport under the microscope and call our shots for what we think will actually happen next.

Mark brings the straight talk takes you’d expect, as we dig into everything from Ironman draft zones and Hayden Wilde’s dominance to Alex Yee’s marathon temptations, Kat Matthews’ plans, and whether the sport is headed for real change or just louder debates.

This one is opinionated, self aware, and very much not trying to sit on the fence.

Highlights
 • Mark Matthews on getting back into racing and lining up for 70.3 New Zealand
 • Why the pro season starting earlier is both smart and brutal
 • Triathlon Bingo explained, our free square and why “most stacked field ever” is inevitable
 • Will Jelle Geens three peat at 70.3 Worlds, or does long course change everything
 • Hayden Wilde skipping 70.3 Worlds on purpose, stubbornness or strategy
 • T100 race locations, will they finally stay put
 • Ironman draft zones, bad faith arguments, real data, and why 20m isn’t a magic fix
 • Alex Yee marathon vs triathlon, temptation, timing, and Olympic reality
 • Texas winners and Kona winners, myth or outdated logic
 • Lionel Sanders and inevitable training philosophy shifts
 • Sub eight Ironman, when, where, and who actually does it
 • Matt Hauser, WTCS dominance, and the short course hierarchy
 • Why Hayden Wilde is still untouchable at T100
 • Kat Matthews and a potential pro series three peat
 • Norwegian podium sweeps, are we done or just getting started

Quickfire Q&A
 • Will Ironman actually change the pro draft zone, probably, eventually, but not for the reasons people think
 • Is 20m fairer, no, it just changes who benefits
 • Who is most likely to upset the Norwegians, Martin Van Riel gets the nod
 • Will we see a woman go sub eight, yes, and sooner than people expect
 • Does Mark care who the biggest triathlon podcast is, absolutely not

 • Ironman draft zone testing in Tucson with Race Ranger and Mark Gravlin, 12 vs 16 vs 20 metres, and what comes next

Quickfire Q and A
 • Who looks untouchable right now in T100 racing, the crew agrees Hayden Wild is forcing everyone to level up
 • What is the biggest limiter for Olympic athletes coming back from a marathon block, swim speed, and the ability to make the front group
 • What do we want from the future of triathlon growth, fewer paywalls, better broadcasts, and more ways for new athletes to enter the sport
 • What draft zone change do we actually want, longer spacing at the biggest races, especially championship level events

 • Life after triathlon and her dream of working in gravel or trail event organisation

Quickfire Q and A

With only one major race left in the season, the big question now is simple. Who is actually going to make it to the T100 Qatar start line?

This week on Another Triathlon Podcast Jenna-Caer , Josh and Fede break down one of the most chaotic races we have seen in a long time. T100 Dubai was meant to be a quieter weekend after Marbella, but instead delivered missed laps, misdirected athletes, and a finish line no one really understood in real time.

The crew starts with a quick catch up. Josh takes his first full week completely off training in years and lines up 2025 race plans. Fede paces a half marathon and starts plotting a path to Nice. Jenna Caer shares what it was like on the ground at 70.3 Worlds in Marbella, from wild crowd energy to brands stepping up with big activations.

Then it is all Dubai. The front group missing the T2 turn, Hayden Wilde riding an extra lap, officials sending athletes to the finish early, and only four men actually completing the full bike and run distance. The team digs into how the athlete vote decided the final result, why this is really a trust issue for the series, and what T100 has to fix heading into Qatar.

The episode also gives the women’s race its due, with Julie Derron’s dominant win, Kate Waugh’s consistency, and Jess Learmonth’s podium all setting up a wide open title fight in Qatar with one and a half points on the line.

They wrap with a quick look at Ironman Arizona, from Menno Koolhaas flying in the Mauna V21 trisuit to Kona slots, retirements, and Sam Long juggling new baby timing with race rules.

Highlights
 • T100 Dubai: missed T2, extra laps, misdirected runners
 • Only four athletes going full distance and the athlete vote on results
 • Trust, money, and season rankings on the line for pros
 • Julie Derron, Kate Waugh and Jess Learmonth setting up a huge Qatar finale
 • Ironman Arizona recap, Kona slots and late season storylines

The T100 season is about to look very different. In this episode, Jenna-Caer (@jennacaer) and Josh (@joshmvernon), sit down with PTO CEO Sam Renouf to unpack the biggest changes coming to the T100 Triathlon World Tour and what they mean for pros, age-groupers, and the sport’s future.
Highlights

From contracts to prize money:
Sam explains why the PTO is shifting away from athlete contracts to a fully merit-based model and how that opens the door for new athletes through rankings and performance.

Nine-race global calendar:
The 2025 T100 season will feature nine events, alternating men’s and women’s races, with a grand final in Qatar. Sam shares why the PTO chose this structure and what it means for fairness, broadcast quality, and athlete recovery.

Why split the men and women’s races:
A shorter four-hour race window means better TV placement, improved storytelling, fewer road closures, and more spectator engagement — all designed to make triathlon easier to follow and more exciting to watch.

Olympic ambitions:
Long-term goal of seeing the 100 km distance become part of the Olympic Games, aligning the T100 with the broader world-sport model.

Investing in the future:
Sam breaks down the PTO’s new funding partners and how those investments will help grow triathlon globally — from elite racing to mass-participation events.

Data and storytelling:
Expect more live metrics, improved GPS accuracy, and enhanced on-screen analytics. Sam discusses why real-time data is the key to turning triathlon into a broadcast-ready product that rivals Formula One.

Age-group racing redefined:
The PTO wants to retire the term “age-grouper” altogether. Sam talks about elevating the amateur experience, long-term city partnerships, and what made Vancouver one of their most successful events yet.

Looking ahead:
Could a U.S. race be returning to the calendar? Sam leaves us with a hint that the largest triathlon market in the world might not be left out for long.

Listen to the full conversation for an inside look at how the PTO plans to grow triathlon from a niche endurance sport to a mainstream global product — and what it means for the next generation of athletes and fans.

Welcome back to Another Triathlon Podcast, brought to you by @maunaapparel
. This week, the crew dives into everything from Kona to Chicago to Wollongong.

Jenna-Caer finally breaks down her Kona 2025 race — the goggles that leaked, the sunburn that wasn’t sunscreen, and a flat tire before even hitting the Queen K. From chaos to camaraderie, she shares how pacing a teammate toward a top-10 finish turned a tough day into one of the most meaningful yet.

Meanwhile, Josh recaps his Chicago Marathon PR, sharing his full fueling plan, lessons learned from chasing the 3-hour mark, and what’s next heading into the New York City Marathon with Fede.

The team also dives deep into the WTCS Grand Final and T100 Wollongong, finding uncanny parallels between the short-course blowups and Kona’s long-course drama. Hayden Wilde’s dominance, Kate Waugh’s brilliance, and Lisa Tertsch’s clutch championship performance all take centre stage.

Plus, the crew debates T100’s new 2026 format — separate men’s and women’s races, higher prize purses, and what that means for the sport’s future.

Highlights:

• Josh’s marathon and what went right (and wrong) chasing sub-3.
• Jenna-Caer’s wild day in Kona — flats, heat, and a minty mystery “sunscreen.”
• The mental side of elite racing and recovery after breakdowns in Kona and WTCS.
• Hayden Wilde’s next-level bike leg and why he might be the future of long course.
• The growing intersection between WTCS, T100, and Ironman — and what 2025 could look like.

This week on Another Triathlon Podcast, brought to you by Mauna Apparel, Jenna-Caer, Josh, and Fede dive into the latest in the triathlon world, their own training blocks, and some major storylines shaping the sport.

From Yankees–Red Sox trash talk to dialing in marathon prep, the crew shares updates on fatigue, recovery, race goals, and the balance of speed versus endurance. With Kona just around the corner, we also look at aerodynamics, equipment choices, and what it really takes to manage training volume at the top end.

In racing news, we break down Ironman Chattanooga and the Kona slots on the line, with standout performances from Rasmus Svenningsson, Cameron Wurf, and Anna Pabinger. Plus, Paula Findlay continues her North American 70.3 dominance, and rising stars make their mark.

We also preview the final stop of the Supertri Pro Series in Toulouse, dig into the short-shoot drama, and discuss what’s at stake for teams and individuals. And in this week’s “What the F,” we shift gears into the politics of the sport with the developing World Triathlon election scandal, where allegations of bribes and threats raise serious questions about governance.

It’s a packed episode—training talk, pro race results, Kona build-up, and even a bit of triathlon politics.

Highlights from this episode:

• Fede’s marathon training focus and why endurance trumps track speed for his goals
• Josh’s Chicago build, sub-3 ambitions, and recovery strategies
• Jenna-Caer counting down to Kona and managing the fine line between peak form and burnout
• Ironman Chattanooga results and what they mean for Kona qualification

The men’s Ironman World Championships in Nice will go down as one of the most thrilling races in triathlon history. From early drama in the swim, to Laidlow’s comeback ride, to a Norwegian sweep of the podium — this was a race that showcased the evolution of the sport.

Jenna (@jennacaer), Josh (@joshmvernon), and Fede (@fedemultisport) break it all down, then sit down with the man who built the foundation for this dominance: Arild Tveiten.

As the longtime performance director and coach for the Norwegian Triathlon Federation, Arild was there at the beginning — when Norway had no history in the sport and just 15 junior athletes. Among them were Kristian Blummenfelt, Gustav Iden, and Casper Stornes. What started as a small experiment grew into the most talked-about training system in the world: the Norwegian Method.

In this episode you’ll hear:

• Why Nice delivered one of the most unpredictable and exciting World Championships ever
• How Casper Stornes executed the perfect race plan to shock the field
• Why Laidlow, Van Riel, Riddle, Schomburg and others shaped the dynamics at the front
• The story of how Arild took a tiny federation and created a culture that produced multiple World Champions
• What makes the Norwegian Method unique — from controlled intensity to relentless volume — and why it worked
• How the camaraderie and discipline forged in those early training camps still fuels their success today

This isn’t just a race recap. It’s the inside story of how a coach and a group of teenagers from Norway reshaped triathlon forever.

It’s finally here – the 2025 Ironman World Championship (Men’s) in Nice, France – and this episode is our full breakdown of one of the most stacked men’s fields we’ve seen in years.

From Sam Laidlow’s fearless bike attacks to Patrick Lange’s surgical run splits… from Rudy Von Berg’s home-course advantage to Jonas Schomburg’s “if he dies, he dies” race style… this episode is full-on predictions, analysis, and hot takes.

We cover:
 🚴 Who’s going all-in on the bike – and who might blow up
 🏃 Why Patrick Lange could win his 4th title
🔥 The quiet contenders (Magnus Ditlev, Martin Van Riel, Rudy Von Berg)
⚙️ The taper strategies, late-into-the-week bricks, and gear hacks pros are using to peak for Nice
📉 Will the happy Gustav Iden show up in peak form… or get outrun?
🛠️ What’s up with Cam Wurf’s 230k ride the week before Worlds?
⛓️ How this course changes everything with long climbs, fast descents, and high risk of implosion

Plus:

• We each pick our top 3 podium predictions (with zero consensus)
• And go deep into the new Ironman age group slot allocation system, why it’s flawed, and how a woman who finished 2nd overall didn’t get a Kona slot.

This is the ultimate preview episode for triathlon’s biggest showdown of the year.

In this packed episode of Another Triathlon Podcast brought to you by @maunaapparel, Jenna and Josh break down all the action from the T100 London – from the thrilling women’s three-way run battle to a dominant comeback win for Lucy Charles-Barclay, and Hayden Wilde’s statement ride-to-run victory on the men’s side. They cover the big performances, surprising tactics, and where the PTO broadcast still needs to improve.

Josh shares an inside look at his Chicago Marathon build – stacking 50+ mile run weeks, a 21-day run streak, and learning the value of getting key sessions done earlier in the day. Jenna talks Kona prep heat sessions, gearing up for the Mauna Elite Camp in San Diego, and what it’s like to train through Calgary’s wild summer hailstorms.

Then, stick around for a deep-dive interview with Race Ranger co-founder James Elvery. James shares:

• How Race Ranger went from an idea between two pro triathletes to one of the sport’s most talked-about innovations
• The tech behind those front and rear bike-mounted lights and how they’re changing drafting enforcement
• The story behind Challenge Roth’s release of pro athlete drafting data – and the impact it’s already had on race behavior
• Plans for real-time referee data, live GPS athlete tracking, and how this could transform both pro and age-group racing
• A vision for separating “competitive” and “general participant” fields to create cleaner, fairer racing for athletes chasing podiums and World Championship slots

If you’ve ever wondered how drafting rules could be enforced more consistently – or what’s next for tech in triathlon – this is one you won’t want to miss.

Listen in for race insights, training takeaways, and a look at the future of fair racing.

In this week’s Another Triathlon Podcast, we dive deep with one of the sport’s most enduring legends: Belinda Granger. From her early days as a gymnastic-obsessed Aussie to dominating the long-course triathlon scene for over a decade, Belinda shares stories of grit, unexpected turns, and the magic of the sport that never let her go.

Now known as the voice of Challenge Roth and the pro liaison for Challenge Family, Belinda opens up about her own pro career, how she built unshakeable durability, and why her win at Roth in 2005 still means everything. We also explore how she accidentally transitioned into commentary, her behind-the-scenes role in making pro racing better, and why Race Ranger is changing the future of fair play.

She reflects on racing alongside Chrissie Wellington and Mirinda Carfrae, shares hilarious training camp memories (including gymnastics after wine at Jan Frodeno’s house), and talks passionately about the evolving women’s field and the athletes she believes will break the 8-hour barrier.

Belinda’s storytelling is as sharp as ever, packed with wisdom, laughter, and a love for the sport that’s downright contagious. If you’re a fan of triathlon history, fair racing, or just want a reminder of why this sport is so special—this one’s for you.

Topics Covered:
✔️ How Belinda got into triathlon (thank you, Bondi Brats)
✔️ Her transition from age grouper to pro athlete
✔️ The 2005 Challenge Roth win that changed everything
✔️ What makes Challenge Roth the greatest celebration in triathlon
✔️ Race Ranger, public drafting data, and athlete accountability

In this episode of Another Triathlon Podcast powered by @maunaapparel, Jenna (@jennacaer), Josh (@joshmvernon), and Fede (@fedemultisport) break down a packed weekend of racing and gear up for the final Ironman Pro Series race before World Champs.

First up, the team talks Ironman 70.3 Swansea—highlighting a dominant win by Harry Palmer and a streaking Kat Matthews. From sheep dodging on technical descents to powerhouse bike packs and non-wetsuit swims, it was a race full of surprises. Plus, the crew dives into the current Ironman Pro Series standings and the increasingly strategic approach athletes are taking to chase points (or avoid racing Kat and KB altogether).

Then it’s off to Hamburg for fast and furious short course action, where Matt Hauser and Leonie Perrault lit up the streets with sub-14 and sub-15:30 5Ks, leading their teams to a dominant Australian win in the mixed team relay. Hamburg is quickly becoming the crown jewel of short course triathlon—and the coverage, crowd, and racing lived up to the hype.

Next, it’s all about Lake Placid. With big names like Jackie Hering, Holly Lawrence, Braden Currie, Kristian Høgenhaug, and Trevor Foley on the start list, the crew gives their podium picks for both the men’s and women’s races. Will Jason West surprise on his full-distance debut? Can Holly Lawrence carry her T100 momentum into her first Ironman? And will Foley’s firepower on the bike-run combo be enough to defend the title?

Other hot topics include:

• The V21 trisuit pre-sale drop from @maunaapparel
• Sam Laidlow’s request for a 70.3 Worlds wildcard (and why it’s a bad idea)
• Rumors of a T200 race distance and Olympic ambitions for T100
• Gordon Ramsay’s return to racing (yes, really)
• A quad-box broadcast win for Ironman Pro Series

📺 Don’t forget—there’s a mystery interview episode dropping midweek that will answer some BIG questions we’ve all been asking 👀

Fresh off a second-place finish and one of the fastest bike splits we’ve ever seen, Kristian joins us to unpack the chaos in Frankfurt, the penalty drama, and what it really takes to go from an age-grouper with no elite background to a top contender on the world stage.

We dive deep into:
✔️ Kristian’s unique (and very late) start in triathlon
✔️ The story behind his “Go Longer” training group
✔️ His five-year plan that led to a top-10 Kona finish
✔️ Struggles with overtraining, altitude tent mistakes, and a stress fracture that nearly ended it all
✔️ Working with a sports psychologist and the “bus driver” mindset
✔️ His next-level approach to aerodynamics and CDA improvements
✔️ How he takes in 170g of carbs/hour on the bike without gut issues
✔️ Staying calm in the chaos of Frankfurt—including that controversial outside coaching penalty
✔️ His honest thoughts on racing back-to-back with Roth and why it’s “a fun experiment”
✔️ The three key sessions he swears by for getting race fit, fast

And, of course, our quickfire round includes everything from World of Warcraft to strawberry bonks and beer-chugging on podiums. 🎯

Whether you’re chasing Kona or just trying to get through your first Ironman, Kristian’s mindset and story offer something every triathlete can take away.

Guest: Gustav Iden | Hosts: @jennacaer, @joshmvernon, @fredrikson.12

🎉 We made it to Episode 100! And to mark the milestone, we’re joined by one of the most accomplished and insightful athletes in triathlon—Gustav Iden.

In this episode, Gustav shares what it’s really been like navigating the highs and lows of elite triathlon. From shifting to a self-coached model with Kristian Blummenfelt and Casper Stornes, to chasing Olympic dreams and battling back after personal loss—this is Gustav at his most open and honest.

We dive into his transition from short course to long course racing, the dynamics of racing against friends, his aero obsession, and how the Ironman Pro Series fits into his vision of legacy and performance.

Episode Summary:
In Episode 99, we sit down with rising British pro triathlete Steph Clutterbuck to unpack her wild, inspiring journey from back injury and burnout to racing with the best in the world. From a no-running policy in her youth to racing at Ironman Texas (and beyond), Steph shares how she found her stride—physically and mentally—and why falling in love with the process has changed everything.

We talk about building her run from scratch, the injury that almost ended her athletic career, and the behind-the-scenes work that goes into becoming a pro—especially as a woman forging her path in a male-dominated sport. Steph opens up about pressure, pacing, performance anxiety, and what it really takes to stay in the game long-term while building a brand and chasing Kona dreams.

This episode is full of laughs, real talk, and honest reflections on what it means to go all in.

This week’s episode of Another Triathlon Podcast is absolutely stacked!

We kick things off recapping all the drama from Ironman 70.3 St. George—and it delivered! From flat tires to front pack fireworks, we break down the key moments, including:

✔️ Lionel Sanders back on top, running a 1:11 and looking more dangerous than ever
✔️ Paula Findlay cruising to victory, but not without some hot debates over Victoria Lopes' mid-race tactics
✔️ Magnus Ditlev’s double puncture heartbreak, still salvaging the final Marbella slot in true roll-down fashion
✔️ Sam Long, Colin Szuch, and Jackie Hering adding to the podium fireworks
✔️ Tech fails, puncture chaos, and why Ironman needs to seriously level up their bike support and broadcasts

From there, we dive into the heated debate that blew up online this week: Should pro athletes start races knowing they won’t finish? The crew gets into the ethics, strategy, and sponsor expectations behind Lopes' St. George DNF.

We also cover the continued disaster of Ironman’s broadcast coverage, what they can learn from WTCS, T100, and even the Giro, and how they're missing a huge opportunity to elevate the Pro Series.

Then, we preview a jam-packed race weekend ahead with everything from:

✔️ WTCS Yokohama—can Cassandra Beaugrand and Leo Bergere dominate? Will Gwen Jorgensen continue her comeback?
✔️ Ironman 70.3 France—the Norwegians are back (yes, all of them), plus Lisa Perterer looks to keep her breakout season rolling
✔️ Ironman 70.3 Chattanooga—could be a duathlon thanks to flooding, but expect Sam Long, Jason West, and Matt McElroy to throw down regardless

Finally, the crew gets personal:

• Josh is pain-free and greedy for more watts, sharing his 3x12s and how life on the road is blending with tri life.
• Fede’s gym work gets mistaken for HYROX training, plus a deep dive into VLA Max and why strength is king for long course.
• Jenna-Caer is prepping for a 20-hour homestay training camp, and the team debates triathletes’ toxic shoe habits (yes, they are still wearing those blisters).

This week, we’re diving into two big races—one just wrapped and one is about to go down.

✔️ Ironman 70.3 Venice-Jesolo Recap
We break down all the action from Italy, where Solveig Løvseth continued her winning streak and Panagiotis Bitados stormed to a massive win on the men’s side.
The race didn’t come without controversy—drafting drama, sketchy bike course conditions, and some Tour de France-style packs led to a fiery “WTF of the Week” discussion.

✔️ Ironman St. George 70.3 Preview
One of the most iconic North American races—and potentially its last edition—is stacked with world-class talent.
We go deep into predictions, podium picks, course changes, and how the brutal terrain and forecasted 90°F heat could shake things up.
On the women’s side: Paula Findlay, Chelsea Sodaro, Jackie Hering, Tamara Jewett, and more.
For the men: Magnus Ditlev, Lionel Sanders, Sam Long, Jake Birtwhistle, and Matt McElroy headline what feels like a World Championship field.

✔️ What the F of the Week:
Did we just witness a non-draft legal race turn full-on Peloton?

✔️ Social Post of the Week:
We highlight the hilarious and surprisingly insightful race preview rankings from @onyerleft.triathlon—featuring categories like “Big Boulder Energy” and “Break Stuff by Limp Bizkit.” If you know, you know.

✔️ Coaching Corner & Strength Talk:
We also chat about training load, strength work, and why staying injury-free may be your biggest performance hack yet. Plus, some fun behind-the-scenes updates on training camps and racing plans ahead.

🎙 Episode 86 – Racing Through Adversity: Annie Brooks & David Whelan on Resilience, Inclusion & Triathlon Community
Presented by @maunaapparel

In this heartfelt and eye-opening episode, @joshmvernon and @fredrikson.12 sit down with two remarkable age-group triathletes: @heyanniebrooks and @dave_unbreakable. With no major pro racing on the calendar, we use the moment to go deeper—into stories of resilience, invisible and visible challenges, and how triathlon has become a powerful vehicle for healing, growth, and representation.

Annie shares how she manages epilepsy while training and racing at the highest level—including her Kona finish and the unseen obstacles she faces. David opens up about life after a workplace injury led to amputation, his return to sport, and his mission to make triathlon more inclusive for athletes with physical challenges.

We also cover: 

✔️ Inclusion in endurance sports & why performance-based slots for challenged athletes matter
✔️ Advocacy for invisible conditions & race-day accommodations
✔️ Mental health, identity, and the healing power of sport
✔️ The importance of owning your story—and how it inspires others
✔️ Racecation strategies, nutrition stories (oysters before a 70.3!?), and wild fourth sport ideas 🤘

Whether you're chasing a podium or just the finish line, this episode is for anyone who's ever faced a barrier and kept going.
