CEO of the T100 Sam Renouf joins us to talk about everything that's been happening in the T100 sphere.  He addresses the France course change, Valencia's last minute cancellation and location change, the Vegas cancellation and change to Wollongong, their financial struggles & if they were the reason athletes 2024 end of year bonuses weren't paid until now, whether having races in the Middle East is purely for money, whether the T100 model is better than the PTO Open model of 2023, will athletes contracts be released and whether the contract model is working, field sizes, will the T100 seriously be going to the Olympics and will they be taking over Alp D'Huez Triathlon, who does Sam Renouf answer to for his performance and how do the T100 come to the decisions they come to.

Last week Sam Long undertook an intensive 5 day swim training camp ran by the best swimmer in triathlon Greg Harper. On today's podcast both Sam & Greg join us to tell us every single detail of what happened on that camp.

This is the kind of podcast we've never really had a lot of in triathlon before and is what I'm most passionate about bringing you all. I really hope you enjoy it!

The King joins us for the first time in over a year and we had SO much to talk about. Some big coaching changes which Hayden talks about in detail and gives a crazy amount of info on his new training program, sessions, structure, etc. We talk Ironman 70.3 World Champs, T100, Paris Olympics silver medal. All of it. Hayden also weighs in on which side he's picking in some long course beef.

The King of Zone 2 (who cares) joins us for the first time ever on The Triathlon Hour! We start the episode by getting to know Morgan a little bit, how he got offered a T100 contract, who by, when it happened, what his plans for 2025 with running, short course and T100 are, his plans for Ironman and his plans for the LA Olympics. We then go into his training and talk about how he trains, his coach Ryan Bolton and what will be needed in his training to have success over middle distance. Things then take a bit of a turn and we talk about the famous Zone 2 meme, the "who cares" meme and Morgan talks about his 2020 rivalry with Sam Long and his potential 2025 rivalry with Jelle Geens. As with everything Morgan does, this was a fun one!!!
