About this episode

Steph Clutterbuck has massive FOMO about not being in Kona too, so we had to get her on the podcast!UK pro triathlete and host of the Buck the Trend podcast Steph Clutterbuck joins us this week to talk all things Kona as we get stuck into one of the biggest weeks in triathlon.The women’s race is wide open. LCB and Knibb came so close last year, can they finally get it right this time? Has Solveig gone to another level since winning last year? Is Kat Matthews about to produce a huge performance on the Big Island? And has Laura Philipp quietly flown under the radar?We get Steph’s thoughts on the favourites, the dark horses and whether there is anyone we are missing. Could Paula Findlay be the dark horse?We also break down how we think the race could unfold across the swim, bike and run before turning our attention to the men.Kristian Blummenfelt, Gustav Iden, Marten Van Riel, Sam Laidlow, Jamie Riddle, Jonas Schomburg and Patrick Lange. Who has the edge?There’s also plenty happening off the course. Vince gets added to the WhatsApp group, Jamie and Jonas are going hard in the practice swim, Laidlow gets dropped, Vince is up the front with Buddgy and Smugglers and we ask the big question... where is Magnus?Plus Laidlow giving away prize money and plenty more Kona chaos.This is one of the biggest weeks of the year and we are feeling the buzz even more than usual!💪 Recovery & Performance Partner – Pillar Performance Take your recovery and performance to the next level.
