About this episode

The episode reviews the performances at IRONMAN Lake Placid and provides mid-season report cards for top triathletes.

IRONMAN Lake Placid delivers one of the best Ironman performances we've seen — Martin Van Riel's near wire-to-wire domination and Paula Findlay's debut IRONMAN — as we break down the men's and women's races and who's punched their Kona ticket. We hand out mid-season report cards on the sport's biggest names (surprises, letdowns, and business side how the race organizers are stacking up), then drop some race predictions for this weekend, and close it out with Hot Takes. 🏁 Intro (0:00–14:20) 🏔️ IRONMAN Lake Placid Recap (14:20–47:30) 📊 Mid-Season Report Cards (47:35–1:09:25) 🔮 Races This Weekend- WTCS London, 70.3 Boise (1:09:30–1:17:00) 🔥 Hot Takes (1:17:15-1:35:15)
