Episode 133 is here, and this one is packed with pro race previews, Ironman Pro Series storylines, WTCS Yokohama discussion, and one of the most inspiring interviews we’ve had on the podcast so far.
Fed and Josh break down the stacked fields heading into Ironman 70.3 Aix-en-Provence and WTCS Yokohama, including Kristian Blummenfelt’s early season racing strategy, Laura Philipp’s return to racing, and the Olympic qualification battle beginning to heat up. The episode also dives into training talk, swim development, altitude training, and what it takes to build long term durability in the sport.
Then, the guys sit down with Peyton and Cameron from Twin Wave after their headline-making performance at Ironman Texas, where they completed the race on their 18th birthday. The conversation goes far beyond the finish line, diving into how they got into triathlon, growing up in a triathlon family, burnout, balancing competitiveness as twins, moving from short course racing toward long course, and what they hope to build in the sport moving forward.
