Last week we saw IronMan Lake Placid won by Joe Skipper (smashing the course record in the process) but we didn't see Alistair Brownlee race at what was the final chance to qualify for Nice.

We DO cover the incredible performances from IronMan Texas with Kat Matthews and Rudy von Berg, Challenge...

With the news breaking today that Collin Chartier has tested positive for EPO we thought it was important to jump on and give our thoughts so that we can focus on all of the amazing performances from the last week on this week's regular episode.
