Lockie and Lleyton return after a hectic few weeks of racing and travel, unpacking a stark contrast between elite-level racing in China and a chaotic Oceania Championships at Runaway Bay. From world-class event execution to disorganized race briefings and last-minute rule changes, they dive into what’s going wrong—and why it matters for the sport.
They break down their own performances, including a rollercoaster weekend featuring repechage drama, tactical mistakes, and a hard-earned podium. The conversation then shifts to the bigger picture: scheduling conflicts between the T100 and World Triathlon Series, and how overlapping events are diluting competition and audience attention.
Looking ahead, the boys preview the season-opening World Triathlon Championship Series race in Samarkand. They analyze the course, conditions, and stacked fields, debating whether it will be a breakaway race or a pack-run showdown. Finally, they lock in their podium picks, dark horses, and bold predictions for both the men’s and women’s races.
