Send us Fan MailThe World Championships are behind us, but apparently triathletes are incapable of actually taking an off-season.This week on Another Triathlon Podcast, Jenna-Caer (@jennacaer) and Josh (@joshmvernon) catch up after the chaos of Kona and look ahead at what comes next.Josh is recovering from Berlin, preparing to pace the New York City Marathon and suddenly talking about doing his first full IRONMAN. Jenna-Caer has landed a Challenge Roth spot, which means the return to triathlon training has officially begun after a year spent racing pretty much everything except triathlon.They also get into post-marathon recovery, strength training, coaching yourself versus hiring a coach, what athlete data can actually tell us, the lingering fallout from Kona, professional athletes choosing whether to finish or DNF, new IRONMAN race announcements and what is happening with the rest of the T100 season.Highlights• Josh’s recovery after the Berlin Marathon• Getting ready to pace the New York City Marathon• Why easy really needs to mean easy after a major race• Strength training during the off-season• Heavy strength before bike sessions• Low-cadence bike work for strength and durability• Josh considering his first full-distance IRONMAN• IRONMAN 70.3 Lake George entering the calendar• The rumoured IRONMAN Montana race• Jenna-Caer getting a Challenge Roth spot• Returning to the pool after months away from swimming• How strength and core work can improve swim body position• Should a triathlon coach coach themselves?• What athletes actually want from their coaches• Using TrainingPeaks data, heart rate, power and decoupling to spot problems• Post-Kona reactions from professional athletes• The debate around finishing versus DNFing as a professional• How the IRONMAN Pro Series changes that decision• The financial reality of racing Kona as a professional• T100’s long gap between races• Dubai, Saudi Arabia and the Qatar Grand Final• Influencer racing and where promotion crosses into clickbait• Matt Choi going sub-10 at IRONMAN California• Supertri’s approach to clubs and community• Team Mauna chasing the top of Division One• The 2027 Team Mauna Cozumel training camp• New IRONMAN 70.3 races in Lake George and Utah• And, somehow, backyard ultra racing enters the conversationPost-Kona RealityThe Kona buzz is starting to fade, but the reactions from professional athletes continue.Some athletes have spoken about disappointment or even embarrassment when their race did not live up to what they knew they were capable of.That also brings up a bigger conversation around DNFs.For a professional athlete, finishing is not always as simple as proving you are mentally tough enough to reach the line.If continuing a bad race compromises recovery and prevents an athlete from racing for prize money a few weeks later, there is a legitimate financial decision involved.The IRONMAN Pro Series changes that equation.With significant season-ending prize money available, simply reaching the finish can potentially move an athlete several positions in the standings and dramatically increase their payout.Solveig Løvseth’s fight to the finish in Kona was the ultimate example of how much those points can matter.The Cost of Racing KonaKona is not cheap.Even professional athletes who receive race access still have travel, accommodation, food, equipment and professional licensing expenses.For athletes outside the very top of the sport, showing up to a World Championship can mean spending thousands of dollars with no guarantee of earning anything back.The crew discusses whether World Championship prize purses should potentially pay deeper into the professional field as the cost of competing continues to climb.Where Did the T100 Momentum Go?After a huge championship stretch in triathlon, the T100 calendar suddenly feels very quiet.The next races are:Dubai, November 14Saudi Arabia, November 28Qatar Grand Final, December 11The extended gaps make it difficult to maintain a season-long narrative, particularly after the energy generated by 70.3 Worlds and Kona.Team Mauna Is Coming for Division OneTeam Mauna is growing again for 2027, and apparently the group has decided it wants a target.After moving from Division Two into Division One, the unofficial goal is now to start chasing the top of the club rankings.The fun part is that every athlete contributes.You don’t need to be chasing podiums or World Championship qualifications. Simply racing under the team name contributes to the club and gives everyone something to rally around.And judging by the team’s World Championship results, things are moving in the right direction.Cozumel Training CampThe Team Mauna training camp is heading back to Cozumel in March.The camp is open to everyone, whether you’re a Team Mauna member or not.The setup includes accommodation at an all-inclusive resort, coaching, supported training, nutrition on course...
