This week we are talking triathlon with American professional triathlete, Skye Moench. Our chat moves through the PTO Milwauke race, the challenges professional female triathletes face and the differences between men and women. We discuss specialising at a distance versus being versatile across many, the women's only Kona race and whether splitting the men and women was a good idea and why female professionals are maybe less likely to call out their competition. A wonderful and insightful conversation that gives you a real insight into how Skye sees the current state of the sport.   To support the podcast please head to: patreon.com/talkingtriathlon To watch this podcast as a video visit: https://bit.ly/3vzSss2    Or check us out on Social Media:  Twitter: https://twitter.com/talktriathlon Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/talkingtriathlon   You can follow James at https://www.instagram.com/bale.james85  You can follow Tim at https://www.instagram.com/tford14 You can follow Skye at https://www.instagram.co

No surprised here but this week we talk all about the PTO US Open. One of the most exciting races we have seen in a long time. We discuss the brilliance of Taylor Knibb, the breakthrough performance of Lucy Byram and the consistency of Ashleigh Gentle. We give our thoughts on the broadcast. The things we liked and some minor points for improvement. We then turn our attention to the men's race where we saw Jan Frodeno give on of the best performances of his career to beat almost all of the 'next generation. We look at the incredible performance of Kristian Blummenfelt and what Jan's victory means when writing the history of triathlon. Basically we talk about why Jan Frodeno IS the greatest of all time!

Last week we saw IronMan Lake Placid won by Joe Skipper (smashing the course record in the process) but we didn't see Alistair Brownlee race at what was the final chance to qualify for Nice. This will mean that Alistair Brownlee will not be lininig up in Nice in September and might indicate that he is injured again.  We discuss this as well as all the action from WTCS Hamburg, whether we will see Gustav Iden race Nice, the problems being faced by British Triathlon like Georgia Taylor-Brown tearing her calf, no WTCS event there in 2024 and the PTO US Open (and much much more!)

This week we are joined by Magnus Ditlev off the back of his incredible performance in Roth. We discuss the differences between Roth in 2022 and 2023, his plans between now and Nice and what he thinks of his chances on the Nice course and how it will suit a strong cylist like himself. We then take a look at how we think he will go in Nice this year and talk about his significant improvements over the next 12 months.

We're back with plenty to talk about this week.  We discuss the news that Andrew Messick has stepped down as the head of IronMan. We look at the pros and cons from his tenure and then discuss what we would like to see IronMan do after he is replaced.  We discuss the news that the Collins Cup isn't happening, start lists for The PTO US Tour (typically they announced wild cards almost immediately after we recorded) and preview WTCS Hamburg this weekend. We then turn our attention to Challenge Roth from a few weeks back where we are joined by Chrissie Wellington (via Get out in It) to hear what it meant to see her world record beaten by Daniela Ryf and why she is one of, if not, the greatest female triathlete of all time.
