Are triathlons getting too expensive? After last week’s show discussing whether triathlon is dying, we were prompted to follow up on one of the reasons why triathlon participation is declining: the cost! Are entry fees affecting the "decline" of triathlon?
Plus, we’re talking about a triathlete winning the Winter Spine race, a very fast half for a triathlete (or any runner actually!), T100 2025 contracts & much more!
