Max Stapley is back and has been promoted from guest to co-host this week as James couldn't make it. We discuss the news that Kristian Blummenfelt thinks it will take a sub 29 minute 10km to win in Paris and why Max thinks that still probably wont be enough for Kristian to win. How hard short course triathlon is and why we are seeing more and more short course athletes step up in distance successfully. We also preview India Wells 70.3 where Max thinks the Norwegian short course athletes might teach Sam Long a lesson. Basically, with Max on the show you know it is going to be good!
