Is Flora Duffy the greatest female triathlete of all time? She’s definitely in the discussion and she joins us tomorrow on the podcast. We talk about her Olympic gold medal, her time training for and racing 70.3’s and PTO races, how she took her run from being average at the world level to being the best in the sport, as well as hearing how her swim & bike are so good and what she did to make that happen. We talk about her coaching, who she is coached by and how they approach their training as a whole. Her future plans for Ironman and all the usual triathlon chat.

Rudy Von Berg takes us inside the training camp at Kona he did with Lionel Sanders, Collin Chartier and their coach Mikal Iden. We then talk about the training he did under former coach Luc Van Lierde (a 2 x Ironman World Champion himself) that took Rudy to a podium at the Ironman 70.3 World Champs in 2019 and how it differs from the training he and Mikal Iden have been doing in the lead up to Ironman Texas this year. Rudy then gives us a detailed breakdown of the 2023 Nice Ironman World Champs course and breaks down all his main competitors and why he thinks they can or can’t win the race.

Well, this is officially the craziest week of Road to the PTO European Open so far. Collin is injured and it's looking unlikely he will be ready to race and Mika had a broke crash and was in hospital when the episode was being recorded. So as the last man standing Frederic Funk called in Aaron Royle & Tom Bishop to fill in. Both of these two are athletes who will be at the front of the race so it was exciting to hear more from them about how they are preparing and their thoughts on the race.
