This week, Kelly & Tim do an episode on a whole bunch of things: The rules around what constitutes an actual Ironman World Record — and why Magnus Ditlev’s 7:19:17 is the fastest time ever recorded but isn’t an “official” record.
Plus, follow-ups from last week’s episode on Hyrox + World Triathlon, what it takes to get into the Olympics, the T100 races getting moved in the Middle East, and varsity college triathlon championships being turned into a duathlon. Will it ever be approved as a fully NCAA sport?
Listen and follow Triathlonish on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or watch the show on Youtube.
