The boys discuss life in Font-Romeu, training alongside many of the world's best triathletes, and their plans for upcoming races in Ireland and Tunisia. They also reveal their hopes of covering the 70.3 World Championships on location before diving into a recap of the recent South American World Cups, highlighting Dylan McCullough's dominant breakaway performances, Toby Powers' breakthrough World Cup podium, and the amusing story of Mitch Kolkman accidentally racing in Jordan Ruck's tri suit.

Finally, the hosts break down the rapidly changing World Triathlon Championship standings, discussing Vasco Vilaca's growing advantage, Cassandra Beaugrand's commanding lead in the women's series, and what still needs to happen before the World Championship Finals in Pontevedra.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/N-B0Oc9IiEMbaHkgdf9e2krfGWnPKHPYOJF1w3YPoeE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS80MTE3/YjRhNGEyY2YyNDAx/OTIzM2FmYmMzMzlh/YmM3YS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
