Oceanside 70.3 Review & T100 Singapore Preview | Talking Triathlon | Episode 36

[@pluruns]

Timing good for the next couple of episodes including this one with all the races. Quite looking forward to T100 Singapore. It’s time is in the arvo in Sydney and over two days. I can get my exercise in in the morning and settle back into the NRL games and multiple screens to watch the triathlon. Great weekend coming up. Thanks for the run down into who is racing.

Joe’s playing the ‘Jasper Disaster’ role from TDF Unchained in the 2024 Ironman Pro Series narrative. Let’s go Joe!

Or is Jasper Philipsen playing the Joe Skipper role 😂

Sam Long does well in the heat. Ironman Cda was very hot and he killed it.

Singapore heat is something else. But hope he smashes it

Ha! I had a chuckle when Tim mentioned Holly Lawrence! 😂 I feel honoured. 😉 If the last race preview left me feeling wanting for more, I thought this episode was more polished and better overall. I’m glad there was no random chat about whether it is sensible or not for Taylor to race Oceanside 4 months ahead of Olympics. She is a middle distance phenom who went and did her job of getting the Taupo qualification and crushed everyone in the process. If you listen to TTL podcast, Paula mentioned that she was mentally affected by being beaten by so much by Taylor and she wasn’t happy that Taylor told the media that her performance wasn’t that great. Little bit of background info that may highlight Taylor’s high expectations of herself and how her fellow athletes feel about it. When it comes to picking the winners and podium, I for one don’t care if you get it right or wrong. I just want some “insider information” like Kyle Smith being in good form or whatever. I wouldn’t worry about picking different winners. Just pick your winner, your podium and perhaps an outside chance and give us your reason for picking those athletes. That’s what I find interesting. Anyway, do what you will with this feedback. Well done on the research James and it’s good to have both of you doing a race preview podcast. 👍
