Following the Ironman World Champs podium clean sweep by The Norwegian’s (Casper Stornes, Gustav Iden & Kristian Blummenfelt) we talk to Arild Tveiten, the man who started it all, built it all and without whom non of it would have happened. However there have been several tough times in the process, including Kristian & Gustav choosing to leave Arild’s program, money getting in the way of what they’d built together, Olav Aleksander Bu’s role in the program, Casper and Kristian/Gustav not training together for a couple of years before ultimately coming back together in 2025 and the group once again finding their way to the top of the world. This podcast is the first in a long time that we’ve done which isn’t just an interview; rather, it tells a story. And that story is a long, interesting, successful and at times difficult one.

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.

The Triathlon Hour Hotseat opens up today’s podcast where the only rule is you have to give your honest answer to the questions asked. Some of those questions are about Collin Chartier & Tomas Rodriguez’s potential imminent return to racing, who has the most annoying Instagram of any pro triathlete, is triathlon too soft, has there been a softening of our stance on Ironman, Jack’s real thoughts on Scott Derue & Andrew Messick, who is Appo attracted to, why has Jack really not been on the T100 broadcast, what’s the worst thing about living in the Boulder triathlon bubble, why did Lucy Charles Barclay block Jack on Instagram, is commenting on triathlete’s body weight fair game and lots more. We then do another edition of “who is under pressure” in the triathlon world, have some training discussion and pick which 3 triathletes we would all pick to race for our lives over the Ironman distance.

We start with a comprehensive recap of all things London T100 from the weekend. Following that, we call out some people in triathlon who are under pressure. At that point we decide no one is safe so some age group triathlon coaches also find themselves in our cross hairs and if all of this wasn’t controversial enough, we finish the show with “you have to pick one” which no doubt will leave us with 5-6 more people who hate us. It’s a massive episode, don’t miss out! Lever: Use the code TTH for 20% off your Lever system Lever
