1. Fitter Radio Triathlon Podcast centers on Jack Moody, Chris Beckmans, the T100 Fréjus situation, Supertri Chicago, and Stu Rotticci’s Font Romeu trip. 2. Bevan McKinnon and Tim Brazier host the show, while Jack Moody fills in as the guest host and Stu Rotticci appears as the Plasmade prize winner and Ironman Nice qualifier. 3. The episode asks whether the T100, Supertri, and Ironman races this weekend show a sport with too many moving parts or enough racing to follow. 4. Jack Moody says he was next on the T100 Fréjus waitlist, but illness after Haritz-Krilofe made the trip and race participation a bad idea. 5. The hosts say the Fréjus bike course changed from a hilly route to a multi-lap criterium-style course. 6. Bevan McKinnon and Jack Moody discuss Sam Renouf’s comments about financial difficulty and a sponsorship deal that fell through. 7. Jack compares the T100’s television ambitions with the UFC and says the series still has a long way to go. 8. The conversation also covers Hayden Wilde’s T100 and WTCS doubleheader, which the hosts frame as a tough ask for older athletes. 9. Supertri Chicago draws comment because Gonzalez won after breaking away early in the swim and holding position for the whole race. 10. The hosts note that the women’s course looked rushed and needed more maintenance in places. 11. The Iron-distance race that awards next year’s Ironman Switzerland slots gives Leonard Arnold the win and Marius Bercozett second place. 12. Marius Bercozett’s 4:07 bike split stands out against the next-best group near 4:18. 13. Freddie Funk comes third in his first Ironman-branded full-distance race and later chooses to focus more on long-course racing. 14. Stu Rotticci wins a Plasmade competition and travels to Font Romeu to train with Christian Blummenfelt, Gustav Iden, and Casper Stornes. 15. Stu says the Norwegians were “gone” in open water, even when Gustav used fins because of a shoulder issue. 16. Stu says the biggest lesson was how simply the Norwegians eat, recover, and build meals from basic ingredients like starches, proteins, and table sugar. 17. Stu describes long warm-ups, activation drills, bands, and core work before pool sessions as part of the Norwegian routine. 18. The tone stays conversational and athlete-to-athlete, with Bevan and Jack joking about pizza, travel, and sponsor rhetoric. 19. Listeners who follow Ironman, T100, and Norwegian triathlon will get the most from this episode. 20. Listeners wanting a single race recap without camp details may skip this one.
