Joe’s joined by Tom Epton in Font-Romeau for a classic Junk Yard Dogs chat. They talk training setups, altitude benefits, and the contrast between Andorra and the French mountains. The pair dissect recent race results and take a closer look at the upcoming T100 San Francisco, including a possible repeat showdown between Marten Van Riel, Kyle Smith, and Rico Bogen.

They share candid takes on prize money, the shifting landscape of long-course triathlon, and finish with a chaotic deep-dive into the Enhanced Games and the absurdity of doping in sport. Unfiltered, scrappy, and completely on brand.

Joe is joined by Tom Epton to disect all the drama from Ironman Texas - Kat vs Taylor, a dominant Blummenfelt, and whether over biking cost more than just time. They look ahead to St George 70.3, previewing both stacked fields, picking podiums, and debating tactics, swim groups, and who can run their way to glory. Plus, gravel talk, team time trials, questionable life balance in pro sport, and plans for an Olympic-distance showdown in Font-Romeu.
