About this episode

Joe and Tyler discuss their training experiences, race recaps, and a preview of the Kona women’s race.

Joe and Tyler reunite for an unfiltered catch up that runs from altitude life in Flagstaff to a three race swing through Australia, Malaysia and Japan. Joe revisits his chaotic first Ironman in 2012 with a two gel and peanut butter sandwich plan, and both laugh at the early days of jelly babies and Snickers on the top tube. Tyler talks through a recent crash, the grind of late season form, and the constant battle to keep weight on, while Joe recounts a family holiday in Turkey that turned into water slide warfare. They finish with a bold preview of the Kona women’s race, weighing Lucy Charles Barclay, Taylor Knibb, Kat Matthews and Laura Philipp, then lock in a friendly wager that ends with a beer mile in Arizona. Candid chat, useful numbers, and plenty of pro level banter.
