The North American race season is right around the corner. That means IRONMAN's rulebook for 2024 has officially been published. We bring in IRONMAN's Jimmy Riccitello to talk us through this year's changes -- and, crucially, what hasn't changed. From drafting to bike equipment to 3D printing your own parts and the all important zipper height, we go through it all.

We're back! We shake off the cobwebs to talk about the kickoff to the 2024 triathlon season. We touch base on Abu Dhabi's cancellation, and then Eric's experience down in Miami. We talk World Triathlon, CLASH Endurance, PTO, and a whole lot more. But ultimately -- did we leave with more questions than answers as to how the PTO will pull off its goal of bringing triathlon to the masses via broadcast content? We also chat about our new slate of writers that have joined the team over the last few months.

In this episode: Eric and Ryan talk about the Noosa Triathlon. The event embodies just about everything we love about our sport and community.
We're then joined by 2022 IRONMAN World Champion Chelsea Sodaro. We talk about the conflict between being service-oriented and the selfishness that can be a part of long-course triathlon, Sodaro's openness about her mental health, and being an advocate to break down barriers to access our sport with her work with &Mother.

Ryan is back from vacation and COVID to join Eric as we lead into the men's IRONMAN World Championship race. And we're wondering -- is it the time of year, the fact that it's in Europe, or some combination of the current race calendar that's making it feel less like it's World Championship time? We also talk PTO, our picks for Sunday's race, the thankless job that is race commenting, and more.

We've been traveling and that meant we took a small break. Whoops. But that also means a longer episode as we talk about our various exploits covering IRONMAN Lake Placid and 70.3 Maine. It also means we've got to talk about zippers and the troubles of Justin Metzler and Matthew Sharpe with them. We also chat through the importance of saddles through the lens of two different product reviews we have live on site.

The big news of the week is that IRONMAN CEO Andrew Messick will retire at the end of the year. We look back at his tenure, the social media reaction to the news, and then start to ponder -- who might be next in line for the role? Is it a case of "be careful what you wish for?" Eric also recaps his experience at Odyssey SwimRun Casco Bay.

Ken Rideout is our guest this week. Ken is an absolute character in the best sense of the word.

It's a trip -- we hope you enjoy the ride.
