Pro race chat (Tri)

I don’t really remember him having accent, maybe he was channelling his spy persona :joy:

I listened to the most recent one out of curiousity. As they describe it their “crime” sounds fairly innocuous and they seem to have learnt from it. Using it as a stick to anonymously beat them with months later seems a bit unfair

Jesus, some people are so sad, why would you go after someone in such a way you are risking their livelihood because you don’t like everything they say.

Just had a listen, sounds ok to me. The name is a bit of turn-off though & I would not have listened unless someone suggested. To me “mockery” suggests satire and while a bit of that’s ok, I wouldn’t listen to a tri podcast that was just satire. Also would have had no idea joe skipper was involved.

Edit: They should maybe rebrand: Three sports, two blokes, one skip. (Or something. Your welcome)

Interesting to see how he goes. I have visions of him doing a Clubber Lang, brutalising himself alone in his Girona apartment while the Norwegians get all the plaudits and glory, just waiting for his day in October……

It’s just a film ….

Edwin Valero is more likely.

Complete nutter but a force of nature.

A lady joined our tri team, Armanni Antoine-Chagar. I just went swimming with her to show her the Zugersee… I was so far behind that I thought that something had gone wrong with my swimming, however, when I looked, I was swimming a pretty normal 2m/100m, its just that Armanni was swimming sub 1:30/100m. When I looked at her swim on Strava, I have never seen such a straight, perfectly sighted swim

She mentioned that she used to be a triathlete, but hasn’t raced for 10 years, so I did a little googling. Looks like she was one of the top junior triathletes in the UK. Was wondering whether @explorerJC, @Hammerer or someone else who was close to the junior scene came accross her in 2011-2013

this is her trac

And mine (which isn’t bad)

How many Cat 1 races do Ironman have a year? Is it just the regional champs?

Seems odd Ironman have chosen to put Des Moines on ironman live rather than Cairns (the Asia-Pacific champs), especially with a decently stacked male pro field.

I guessing that they see the USA as their target market? I’d rather watch Dede and Greg ask who this AG pommy male is swimming with the pro females at Cairns, then go on to how important it is to get the blood in your legs when you er… stand up :thinking:

Enough to talk about in the pro race that I’ll be trying to figure out what’s going on myself!

That’s not a bad field, I thought Jacobs had given up years ago!

Getting back into it after years of chronic fatigue apparently.

If you’re swimming 2:00/100m, I’d say something has done wrong with your swimming :face_with_peeking_eye:

Is he still a landscape gardener, too?
Not sure how that marries with being a pro triathlete.

How many comebacks has Jacobs had now? Must be getting up to double figures!

I did follow him for a while and he seemed to be following all kinds of diets that might have contributed to that.
