The Triathlon Show

The boys are back from a short hiatus and have a packed episode. They start by recapping Tony's multi-day stage race in Canada. They follow that up by discussing Salomon becoming a title sponsor with Ironman and what that means for the future. They go over all of the incredible performances at 70.3 Worlds and what are the implications as we near Kona. They also go over Boston making a statement that the penalties for downhill races could change. Are they doing away with the penalty? Making it harder? They close out by talking about a few unfortunate mishaps in the sports world recently.

This week the guys do some brief catch up, but get right into some logistics when it comes to televising a race. How close is too close and do we need all these cameras? They also discuss the recent half marathon world record and will it fall again quickly. Is a marathon world record looming as well? Short and sweet this week.

This week the guys waste no time and start by discussing the recent pricing for Ironman 70.3 Oceanside. Are we doomed to keep this inflation going? They also shift gears and discuss the recent conrtroversy surrounding the WNBA, Sophie Cunningham and trans rights when it comes to sports. Should there just be one league, one division? Where is the line drawn? They finish it up by discussing the most recent hybrid runfluencer making a marathon they didn't register for about themselves.

After a short hiatus, what they are calling a summer break, Austin and Tony are back. The boys start by catching up about some racing that Tony has been doing. They get into the discussion about carious cooling tech and if it's worth it. They also discuss the newly announced lottery pool for the Boston Marathon. Should Boston just be for the elite? They also cover the new mile reocrd set by Josh Kerr and what it means moving forward. The guys close it out by discussing Ironman's recently cancelled and shortened races based on adverse conditions.

The boys had a lot to catch up on this week. Tony and Austin start with talking about the Ironman Hamburg suspected sabotage of the bike course and Austin isn't convinced. The guys also discuss new equipment being brought into the sport which seems like a money grab. The guys segway into the most recently added World Major Marathon in Cape Town and divert to a heated debate over Kona vs the World Majors. They wrap up the show by talking about the cancellation of races at Hyrox NY this past weekend and how it was all handled.
