Der Ironman Hamburg 2026 sollte ein Triathlonfest werden – und endete mit vielen Fragezeichen. Ein mutmaßlicher Anschlag auf die Radstrecke schlägt Wellen weit über den Sport hinaus. Dabei hatte das Wochenende doch auch sportlich viel zu bieten.
Wir sind mitten drin in der Saison! Am Samstag stand die T100 der Männer in San Francisco an, gefolgt von der Ironman EM der Frauen in Hamburg. Wir haben die Rennen natürlich gesehen und geben ein Breakdown mit Insights von Sieger Rico und dem starken Debüt von Lasse (Platz 2). Ansonsten ist dieses Mal auch wieder Mika mit dabei und ihr erfahrt warum er leider nicht an den Start gehen konnte und das Rennen von Zuhause aus verfolgen musste. Außerdem mit dabei: Nils Attacke auf seine Frimenlauf PB und Simons Gartenarbeit ;) Viel Spaß Präsentiert von Blackroll: https://blackroll.com/de CODE: "buddytalk" für 10% Rabatt
Tim is finally back. We start with the Giro d'Italia and Maya Kingma's move into professional cycling, as she continues to show that triathletes can successfully make the transition to the pro peloton. Cassandre Beaugrand then adds another achievement to an already remarkable year by breaking the French 5km record. Supertri Austin follows, where the conversation turns to what has happened to the series. Once one of the most exciting products in the sport, Austin felt like a shadow of what Supertri used to be. T100 Spain delivered plenty of talking points, including Georgia Taylor-Brown securing the first T100 win of her career. Ironman Lanzarote saw Sam Laidlow get the better of Patrick Lange, while Lucy Charles-Barclay returned to long-distance racing with a dominant victory. We finish with WTCS Alghero. Olympic qualification is now underway, both fields are loaded with talent, and we discuss why WTCS continues to deliver some of the best racing in the sport, along with the improvements that have been made to the broadcast.

Vasco Vilaça finally grabbing his first WTCS win in Samarkand and Beth Potters return to the top step.

Episode 700 is a milestone — and Jimmy and Tyler marked it by getting off their chairs and going on location. They recorded this one inside an airplane hangar at TK1’s facility in the Lincoln, CA, sitting down with Garrett to finally get the full story on a company they’ve been recommending for years. Most SnailTrail listeners know TK1 for one thing: sway bars. But the real story is wilder than that. TK1’s founder Tony didn’t start in aerospace — he started in off-road racing, building tube chassis under the Rocky Equipment name. After the 2008 crash hit the racing industry hard, the business pivoted. A bush plane owner who’d tried mounting Fox off-road shocks to his aircraft got denied by Fox over liability concerns — so he called Tony. That conversation launched what would become TK1’s aerospace division. Today, TK1 does everything from billet aluminum sway bars to aviation landing gear shocks to titanium components — all machined in-house, all in Sacramento. Garrett walks Tyler and Jimmy through what actually makes TK1’s sway bars different: every bar is custom-spec’d for your vehicle, your suspension setup, your use case, and your goals. The conversation gets technical — how diameter and arm length affect torsion rate, how sway bars interact with front-end articulation, why a stiffer rear bar can actually free up your front axle, and how TK1’s pneumatic adjustable sway bar concept would let a King of the Hammers racer change stiffness between the desert lap and the rock section. Tyler shares his own hard-won lesson after a spine block came loose on Kermit and he suddenly understood — from behind the wheel — what sway bars actually do. Jimmy walks Garrett through Samantha’s build specs to start the process of ordering her sway bar. His setup — a custom link rear, T100 axle, and goals still being dialed in — highlights exactly the kind of conversation TK1 has with every customer before they cut metal. Beyond sway bars: TK1 is developing its own off-road air shocks (still in R&D, watch this space), building an electric single-motor buggy with a Hyper 9 motor in the shop, and partnering with a local high school machining program to pipeline young fabricators directly into their crew. If you need a custom billet part — trailing arm, tie rod, suspension link — they’ll take that call too. The episode wraps with a standing invitation: get Jimmy and Tyler on a day trip to Loon Lake, and maybe a future R&D deep-dive episode at the TK1 shop.

This week, the crew breaks down what might be the most stacked Ironman field ever outside of a World Championship, with Ironman Texas taking center stage.The conversation kicks off with a deep dive into why more pros are choosing Ironman over T100, touching on the pull of Kona, race dynamics, guaranteed money vs prestige, and the bigger issue: the sport needs more external sponsors—not just bigger prize purses.
O melhor start list da história fora de um Mundial? Será que podemos classificar o IM Texas assim? No MT News desta semana falamos também sobre as francesas corredoras, Matt Hauser no T100, Tadej Pogacar e muito mais.
This week James sits down with Kristian Blummenfelt. They start with how he's approaching 2025, including Nice and 70.3 Worlds, before looking ahead to Ironman New Zealand in 2026 and the early season races in Geelong and Oceanside. They get into 20m drafting and the current Ironman Pro Series standings, before talking through T100 vs the Pro Series and how he's trying to balance both. Ironman Texas is a big focus, what he expects there and what comes after, including how 70.3 Worlds 2026 and Kona fit into his plans. They finish with bucket list races and whether winning the Tour de France is something he genuinely thinks about.

In our first ever triathlon focused podcast, IRONMAN and T100 battled it out for the hearts, minds and attention of the triathlon community on the weekend. The well established albeit boosted IRONMAN Pro Series Geelong 70.3 taking on the inaugural T100 Gold Coast, in what seemingly appears to be two belter events with no clear winner. We caught up with Koa Sports Professional Female Laura Gillard to talk about her stunning Top 10 result on debut, as well as review a great day of racing, and Greg provides insights, tips and feedback as to how the day unfolded but areas for improvement for the start up T100 series moving forward. #givingback The box trifecta got up in Geelong, Greg had to share his bread serving with others and can we all agree the new airport scanners are slower than the old, what a world.

Mit den Gold Coast T100 und dem Ironman 70.3 Geelong standen am vergangenen Wochenende zwei echte Highlights an. Und schon in wenigen Tagen geht es mit dem Ironman 70.3 Oceanside weiter. Wie hat Kristian Blummenfelt seinen spektakulären Sieg verkraftet? Und kann die Ironman-Weltmeisterin Solveig Løvseth ein erstes Ausrufezeichen setzen?
Com uma parcial de corrida ABSURDA, o norueguês venceu o IM 70.3 em Geelong com autoridade. Kat Matthews confirmou o favoritismo e venceu a 2ª prova no PRO Series, ampliando sua vantagem na liderança. Falamos também sobre o T100, Youri Keulen no IM Brasil e muito mais. Confira o episódio da semana.
We kick things off with The Ultimate Triathlon Raffle, where James is closing in but still needs another £500, so the prize list has stepped up again. Lucy Charles-Barclay potentially racing the Commonwealth Games leads into a wider conversation, before we touch on Sam Laidlow's marathon. At 70.3 Dallas, Lionel Sanders is back to winning, which is impressive in itself, but even more so given he managed to lose 40 seconds in a 350m swim and still take the race. In Lanzarote, Georgia Taylor-Brown, Laura Lindemann and Sophie Evans were all back racing, which is a good sign as the short course season builds. T100 Gold Coast continues to take hits, with Julie Derron now out, and we run through what's left of the women's field with Taylor Knibb, Jess Fullagar, Natalie Van Coevorden and Ellie Salthouse. Geelong 70.3 has quickly become one of the races of the weekend, with Kristian Blummenfelt lining up against Hayden Wilde and Jelle Geens. And then there's Oceanside 70.3, where the start list is stacked across the board.

Before ending with some HOT takes.
In dieser Folge von Carbon & Laktat geht es um ein Wochenende voller Geschichten: starke deutsche Auftritte bei der Kurzdistanz auf Lanzarote, ein hart erkämpftes Podium von Anna Büttner in Texas und ein weiterer Sieg für Lionel Sanders. Chefredakteur Nils Flieshardt und Lars Wichert sprechen über Rückkehrerinnen und Rückkehrer, die sofort wieder vorn mitmischen, über Sam Laidlows gescheiterten Marathon-Versuch und über die mentale Härte, die Laufen und Triathlon auf höchstem Niveau verlangen.

Die Temperaturen steigen – und doch wagen sich triathlon-Chefredakteur Frank Wechsel und Publisher Frank Wechsel wie jedes Jahr aufs Glatteins, um zehn steile Thesen zur Saison 2026 aufzustellen: Wer wird dieses Jahr dominieren – und wie schnell? Geht es mit der T100 bergab oder bergauf? Und wie kommt die 20-Meter-Windschattenregel in der Praxis an?
We talk about whos is racing where. Who has the upper hand with the athletes and how to fit in all the race from IRONMAN, T100, Challenge and World Triathlon in the olympics year. Of course ending the show as always with hot takes! Weekend Update (0:00-2:30)Who's carrying T100 Banner (2:35-28:45)Team IRONMAN (28:50-1:02:50)Short Course Kings and Queens (1:02:55-1:08:20)Hot Takes (1:08:20-end)
This week we start with a big result for Maya Kingma, who has won her first professional cycling race. After previously talking about triathletes trying to make the jump into cycling, it's a result that feels genuinely significant. We then move to Lucy Charles-Barclay, who has undergone surgery, and where that leaves her as she looks ahead to the rest of the season. From there, the conversation turns to Lionel Sanders. Lionel has suggested this might be his final Kona, which has led many to wonder whether retirement could be closer than expected. As always, even a small comment from Lionel quickly becomes a talking point. We then shift focus to racing in the southern hemisphere, starting with Challenge Wanaka. With both the pro series and T100 kicking off in the south this year, Wanaka is well placed to benefit from that early-season momentum. Next up is the Ironman New Zealand start list, where names like Kristian Blummenfelt, Kat Matthews, and Kyle Smith give the race real weight. We finish the episode by looking ahead to the T100 Gold Coast, and what this season could have in store as the series continues to take shape.

Die Saison 2026 steht vor der Tür! Daher blicken Nils Flieshardt, Lars Wichert und Jan Grüneberg heute schon einmal voraus: Auf die wichtigsten Akteurinnen und was diese in der neuen Saison erreichen können.
The things we love most about Taylor Knibb is her honesty, her detailed & analytical story telling and her contagious energy. Today's podcast has all of that in spades. Taylor goes through her 2025 year in detail we've not come close to hearing anywhere else. From a tough start to the year with burn out, stress and T100 contract negotiations to the crazy events that unfolded when she collapsed with 2km to go whilst in the lead of the Ironman World Championships in Kona, we go into it all. Taylor was as honest and open as you'll likely ever hear her and all we can do is thank her for that because it made for a podcast that's a bit different from your standard one. We hope you enjoy it.

This week on Talking Triathlon we are back and take stock of where the sport sits heading into 2026. We start with what we noticed over the break, running through the triathlon headlines that shaped the off season and set the tone for the year ahead. We then look at the updated PTO World Rankings and the impact of changes to how they are now measured. With the rankings now closely tied to the T100 series, it is no surprise that the athletes who raced and won the series are sitting at the top, with Kate Waugh and Hayden Wilde both ranked world number one. We also question how legitimate the rankings are now and what they are really designed to represent. From there we look ahead to 2026 as a whole, talking through the major race series, what we are most excited to see unfold and what we hope the sport delivers over the next twelve months. We break that down across Ironman, WTCS, T100, Supertri and Challenge, discussing how each series is shaping up and where the big storylines could emerge as the season gets underway.

In episode 376 of The Physical Performance Show, professional triathlete Ellie Salthouse joins Hugh Darnell and Brad Beer for a deeply honest conversation about resilience, pressure, and longevity in elite endurance sport. Recorded following knee surgery and a strong return to racing, this episode unpacks what it truly takes to rebuild confidence, performance, and belief when the path back to the start line is anything but straightforward. Ellie reflects on her Wollongong T100 performance, the physical and mental demands of injury rehabilitation, and the systems that now support her consistency at the pointy end of the sport. From working with specialist coaches and reshaping her mental game, to mastering race-day execution, fueling, recovery, and decision-making under pressure, Ellie shares the frameworks that continue to sustain her elite career.

In this episode, you'll hear Wollongong T100 debrief: executing the plan, racing at home, and handling the "always want the podium" competitor mindset Race-week routines: keeping things consistent, arriving a week early, and why Ellie doesn't taper heavily The injury story: severe knee pain pre-70.3 Worlds, major swelling post-race, scan results, and surgery timing (Feb) Rehab timeline & milestones: back on bike + pool at ~10 days, building trainer time, returning to road riding, quad activation challenges, strength work, and a ~6-month return to start line The mental toll of injury: identity, motivation, sponsor pressure vs internal pressure, and staying process-driven with "small controllables" Return-to-racing lessons: Vancouver as the first race back, managing expectations, and surprising run performance with minimal prep Mental performance breakthrough: building a "toolbox" with a sports psych, handling pressure, thoughts, and race-week spirals Tools that work: "a thought is just a thought," bus analogy, and the "monsters in the boat" approach to sitting with emotions Coaching structure shift: moving from one coach (8 years with Siri) to specialists (swim/cycle/run/strength) + managing training load Training with data: the steep learning curve of power/metrics and why it took ~12 months to truly click Partner + coach dynamic: boundaries between "boyfriend Zach" and "coach Zach," and why switching off matters Race-day execution: whiteboard cues, focusing on controllables, and adapting plans on the fly Fueling evolution: from "a few gels and Gatorade" to calculated carbs/sodium/fluid + planned recovery Recovery essentials: movement-based recovery, boots, protein targets, sauna/ice baths, sleep, magnesium, and tracking what actually works Filtering the '1%ers': ease of use, time cost, measurability, and avoiding noise What's next: 70.3 World Champs (Marbella) then camp in the Canary Islands and T100 World Champs (Qatar, Dec 13) Ellie's advice: stay disciplined, stay hungry, trust your instincts Listener challenge: 20 x 3 min tempo / 3 min endurance on the bike (yes… brutal) Quotes / takeaways "A feeling is just a feeling. A thought is just a thought." "If it's a chore or doesn't integrate into your life, it's probably not the right 1%er." "Who's willing to suffer the most — that's the name of the game."
