After a quick break, the crew is back with a jam-packed episode ahead of Ironman Frankfurt. In Episode 98, Josh and Fede catch up on personal race stories, recent setbacks, and breakout performances, then dive deep into one of the most stacked full-distance races of the season. From Josh’s age group podium chase to Fede’s storm-cancelled race in the Caribbean, the episode celebrates the grit behind the sport before pivoting to a full pro field preview for Frankfurt.

With major names like Kristian Blummenfelt, Patrick Lange, Magnus Ditlev, Gustav Iden, and Rudy Von Berg all lining up, they break down who’s primed to win, who might blow up, and which underdogs could surprise. The episode closes with reactions to T100 Vancouver, thoughts on the Tour de France, and Josh’s fast-approaching showdown at 70.3 Oregon.
