Chat with @LucyAnneCharles for @220Triathlon. Encouraging form at Ironman Lanzarote, particularly as the effort was capped at 80%. Strong thoughts on the avoidable 'blister-gate' situation too.

Enjoyed interviewing Jane Tarrant of Linked Breathing for this piece and learning about D spot, R spots, NOS buttons and tongue placement.

The secret to breaking the world record for the marathon is to eat more in carbs than your shoes weigh. Every hour.

Think this makes Alex the fastest bonafide triathlete of all-time (?) But worth noting how high level his running’s been from a young age & there’s been serious dedication to marathon specific work since end of 2024 triathlon season. Hopefully makes this result all the sweeter.
Alex Yee, Olympic triathlon champion and now the second-fastest British marathon runner of all time 👏
He sets the time in only his second marathon event with a seventh place finish in Valencia 😅

Triathlon’s T100 World Tour was based on golf’s Race to Dubai.
Presumably the year when Rory McIlroy shot a double bogey 7 on the 20th hole of the opening round.

Scenes in Dubai. Extra bike laps AND then extra run laps following this. Men's results pending, women still racing, amidst utter chaos.

"What are you doing?!" 🚨
Remarkable scenes as the leading group in the T100 Triathlon miss the transition zone and are forced to do an extra lap on the bike 🧐

Wrote this feature on Ironman’s new partnership with Oman. Comments slating it both for use of the term sportswashing in the headline and because it didn’t go hard enough on human/women’s rights - so at least we have some balance.

Since the feature was filed, Oman by UTMB has announced a return in December 2026, but I understand that Ironman 70.3 Bahrain next month is struggling with low numbers signing up. It looks a mixed - and moving picture - for endurance sport in the Middle East.

Insight from Jelle Geens & Kristian Blummenfelt about their interactions during Sunday's epic half-marathon battle in Spain. Geens: "Every time he hit the front it was so slow." Blu: "I was waiting for Casper!"
And they still ran a 67 off the bike.

Picked up a few interesting bits & pieces rushing around in Puerto Banus, including Taylor Knibb on needing to apply for a retrospective TUE post Hawaii and Seth Rider on making the mistake of trying to race fairly in a world of flashing red lights.

The new Ironman qualification system seems to be heavily favouring 50 males.
The benchmarks are set from the top performers from 2016-2022, so by definition the 50 men are showing the biggest improvements.
My theory is that it shows how the sport and times have changed. 1/3

Why?
It’s increasingly expensive, meaning more than ever it’s the wealthy who have cash to fund training, equipment and racing - & done smartly it works
There are also more fulltime amateurs/early retired in this bracket, increasing the opportunity to focus on performance. 2/3

Older athletes are also have increasingly better understanding how to train for performance and extend competitive lifespan.
Finally, there is also an increase in ‘wellness’ ie. Drugs, both legal and illegal, in sport, that is over indexing improvement in this category. 3/3

Is the current crop of World Series racers better than those from the Brownlee era? GB's current No 1 believes so.

If @beth_potter can win a second world title on Sunday in Australia it would be the latest chapter in a brave and successful career switch.
