Understanding the World Triathlon Congress drama
Last week was all about 70.3 Worlds, so this week is all about World Triathlon: the WTCS Finals, the World Championship “festival” in Pontevedra, and most importantly the World Tri Congress. What the h*ll is a Congress? Why have there been two years of Congress drama and controversy? How has that all led up to this week’s big annual meeting? Good questions! Tim Heming read hundreds of pages of documents, talked to almost everyone involved, and is ready to explain it to us. The World Triathlon Congress meets on Wednesday (tomorrow) in Pontevedra, ahead of the World Championship racing, and will vote on proposed Constitutional changes + hear updates on the state of the sport. Episode #2 is all about World Triathlon. Listen and follow on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or watch the show on Youtube. * (2:20) - One last thing about Nice: Listener feedback and insight from the 70.3 Worlds Championships episode * (10:14) - Now: World Triathlon!

That bike course? * (1:01:14) - The two big Ironman announcements out of Nice * (1:16:15) - Best guesses at where 70.3 Worlds will be in 2028? * (1:19:40) - Good Week, Bad Week picks This is a public episode.

Episode 19: Ironman's Americas Champs
Sid & Kelly sat down for a “quick” episode to talk about training camp, the latest PTO developments and results from this past weekend, and preview the upcoming races this weekend: namely, the American regional champs at Ironman Texas. But then they talked for 50 minutes. There were some sound issues this week. Kelly’s mic was too hot and Sid’s was too quiet, and this is what happens when everyone’s tired! How to watch Ironman Texas: Ironman Facebook, Youtube, or Ironman Live And, because we mistakenly said there was no coverage, how to watch Challenge Gran Canaria: They’re saying they’ll have live coverage on Challenge Family Live’s feed This is a public episode.

Episode 13: Ruth & Sid explain the PTO to us
This week we’re spending some time diving into the details of the Pro Triathletes Organization. To do that, Laura Siddall (who sits on the PTO Athlete Board) chats with Ruth Astle (who served on the Rankings Committee that recently overhauled the PTO ranking algorithm, and who was recently elected to the Athlete Board). They get into some of what went into that overhaul and the recent changes at the PTO and how the athletes are involved. First, though, Kelly & Sid talk about this past weekend’s races, discuss the roll-out of the draft detecting technology, and have their own preview of the latest PTO announcement that prize money will be consolidated in the top 50 and field sizes at the PTO races will be smaller. Is it the right move? Like we said: All things about the PTO. This is a public episode.

We’ll have one more final episode of 2022 late next week, where Sid & Kelly will recap the year and talk to a special guest. But before the holidays, we wanted to first bring you the inspiring story of Zeinab Rezaie, who started out running at a military base for safety and became a part of She Can Tri, a small group of women in Afghanistan who wanted to become the first female triathletes in the country. Zeinab shares her story of leaving Afghanistan in the wake of the Taliban takeover, how much she’s had to overcome, and what it meant to make the cut-off at the 70.3 World Championships by just one minute.

Episode 8: Dede & Sid's Ultraman World Championship Story
This week we had the mic over to Laura Siddall for a conversation with her friend, training partner, and Ultraman World Champion Dede Griesbauer. A few weeks ago, Sid was part of the crew for Dede’s record-setting win on the Big Island. This week, Sid and Dede go deep on all the details of Ultraman, what it takes behind-the-scenes and on the race course, and how you even get sucked into the three-day race in the first place. Dede is a former collegiate swimmer turned a former Wall Street trader, who turned into a champion pro triathlete. And now, at 52, she’s still setting course records. We’ll let the two of them tell you the rest. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit www.triathlonish.com
