The first Ironman race of the new pro series takes off this weekend in Texas. We preview the event. Give our thoughts on how the race will unfold and our picks for the podium. We talk about who the major players seem to be in the men's and women's series and what the implications are for some of the bigger name athletes with so many races on. We also talk about the Olympics potentially becoming a duathlon, the Supertri season announcement and recap some of the races from last weekend.
