Had a look into the increased drug testing of amateur athletes at this weekend’s Challenge Roth. What they’re doing and why they’re bothering. The inclusion and evolution of dried blood spot testing promises to be a powerful addition and deterrent.

Water temp at Challenge Roth this weekend approaching 25 degrees C & organisers doing fine job of updating athletes as to whether it’ll be a mandatory non-wetsuit swim. Probably a reality here that you shouldn’t be entering if you can’t swim 2.4 miles without wearing neoprene.

After 8:03 at Ironman Hamburg, Philipp heads to Challenge Roth. A first women’s Sub-8 iron distance could be on the cards, but having spoken to Laura last week, she voiced concerns over integrity of the race. She doesn’t want a sub-8 with an asterisk.

The fundraiser for the athlete who was taken to intensive care after being jumped on at the swim start has now topped $60,000.

Sam Perkins said farewell last night. This is a short recap from 2023 when a buckled wheel kiboshed the London marathon attempt. Sam returned and completed the event last year, raising yet more thousands for MND research. He is the best of us. RIP mate

Five-year deal with Qatar has to be a boost for oft-questioned longevity of T100 series.

Little know fact but Andy narrowly missed out on selection to the 1952 Helsinki Olympics because the sport hadn’t been invented yet.
I see that one of triathlon's smartest-most strategic-hardest working pros is finally retiring. Andy Potts achieved more in the sport due to guts & determination and smart planning than all but the top 5-6 rockstars. I loved the guy & the way he fought to the final finish line.

Racing from April to November in Singapore, San Francisco, Vancouver, French Riviera, London, Ibiza, Lake Las Vegas and Dubai. Starting to look like a proper series - and critically gives the athletes (and everyone else) 4 months break.
The 2025 T100 Triathlon World Tour line up is set 🙌. Who are you most excited to see race and why?
