Show notes

Ironman finally pulled the trigger on a long-awaited change: the pro draft zone is officially moving to 20 meters — and the RTS crew wastes no time breaking down what it really means for racing. In this episode, Garrick, Jackson, Lisa, and special guest Nicole dive deep into how the new draft rules could reshape race dynamics, who benefits most, and why this might finally reward strong solo cyclists. They also tackle mixed pro fields, Race Ranger, and whether 20 meters is enough… or just the first step toward 25. Beyond the rule changes, things get personal: Nicole shares her fresh post-op journey from hip labral repair and what recovery looks like for a pro triathlete. Lisa opens up about a surprise metatarsal stress reaction and how she’s navigating yet another “no-run” build. Jackson battles a stubborn parasite picked up in Mexico, breaking down the realities of training through GI chaos and calorie deficits. Garrick drops some major life news with an RTS first: a baby girl arriving this summer. They wrap it all up with a classic Pass or Smash segment covering everything from threshold farming and three 4-hour rides in a week… to pineapple on pizza. Raw, funny, honest, and deeply nerdy — this is one of those episodes that reminds you why racing is hard, recovery is harder, and the triathlon community is special.
