It’s our first podcast in the new Version 3.0 form — with our new co-host, intrepid triathlon reporter Tim Heming joining Kelly. Because what was missing in triathlon was an overly dense, overly detailed, overly long podcast. You need to really care about triathlon for this to be the show for you.
For our first episode, with Tim back from the 70.3 World Championships in Nice, France (the last one in Nice. for now!) he shares his reporting, a few interviews, and everything from the biggest championship week in the sport.
