Jelle’s Race Calendar Revealed — And He’s Targeting Kona Glory

February 4, 2026·1 hr 1 min·5 clips

The weekly streak holds. Jelle and Aaron check in early because a work trip is coming up, so they move the recording ahead by a day. For the first time this year, they are not in the same room, which they note with a bit of amusement. One host is in Corumban Waters while the other is at AHD headquarters in Burley Head. They joke that the office setup is a little more polished than the usual dining-room-table routine. The altitude room gets a mention too, along with a light tease about whether the altitude could have been turned up. The conversation quickly shifts to training fatigue and fueling. One host describes a long run followed by a bike a couple of hours later, then explains that the heat dulled his appetite more than usual. That left him under-fueled for the bike. He had expected to eat more between sessions and did not fully adjust for the weather. The result was a late-session wobble. A 60-gram chew shows up at exactly the right time and gets him through the final effort. They treat that save as a small win. The chew also becomes a practical example of why some sessions want something between liquids and gels. For a tempo-style workout, the hosts decide that something to chew can land differently than straight liquid fuel. They keep the tone casual and self-aware while talking through the mechanics. There is a little self-deprecating pride in the way they describe the session not looking pretty but still getting done. They also suggest that a spare chew in a saddle bag might be worth keeping around. From there, the episode moves toward the rest of the day. One host is heading into a crit race. The other has a 5 to 6K swim to do, plus a bike ride after a 20K run already done that morning. They frame that rhythm as part of Ironman training, where two longer sessions can stand in for a pile of shorter ones. The show closes with a YouTube update and a reminder to keep subscriptions coming. The end note is simple and familiar: training, logistics, and a bit of teasing all belong in the same conversation.

As heard by us

A grounded triathlon catch-up built around training logistics, heat, and a well-timed 60-gram chew.

The episode keeps its focus on training life: a weekly check-in from different spots, a hot run-into-bike day, and the fueling problem that shows up when appetite drops between sessions.
