Maccax Uncensored

An actual insane amount of triathlon has happened in the last week with almost too many races to cover.  We discuss Sam Laidlaw struggling in Lanzarote and what that might mean for the rest of his season. We do the results round up with a particular focus on the performances of Emma Pallant-Browne, Tamara Jewett, Paula Findlay, Lucy Charles-Barclay and India Lee.  We then preview WTCS Cagliari where we will see Alex Yee back to race Hayden Wilde and Kristian Blummenfelt.

This week we discuss the incredible performances from Max Neuwmann and Anne Haug, Jan Frodeno making his return to racing, just how close was Alistair Brownlee from hanging onto for that win, did Magnus Ditlev decide the race, how was Lucy Charles-Barclay looking early in the season and much more.

It's finally here! The race we have all wanted to see since the Norwegians stormed the world of long course racing! Jan Frodeno v Kristian Blummenfelt and the scary part is that is only the tip of the iceberg! We preview all the action from Ibiza this weekend at the PTO European Tour race. We give our picks (which might surprise you) and talk about how we think these races will unfold. We also discuss even more developments since Collin Chartier admitted to using EPO. Including Lionel Sanders call for 20% of PTO prize purses to be spent on out of competition testing and why we think Sam Laidlaw might of made a slight error with announcing his withdrawl from the PTO race.  For more information about MX Endurance: http://www.mxendurance.com     To watch this podcast as a video visit: https://bit.ly/3vzSss2      Claim your free Off-Season Strength Training Plan: https://mxendurance.com/free-plan   Or check MX Endurance out on Social Media:  Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TeamMaccax/ Twitter: https://twitter.c

Well we didn't want to cover more of the Collin Chartier story but with so many athletes coming out and giving their thoughts we decided to recap all the developments in the doping scandal. Don't worry though, if you are sick of hearing about it and want to focus on only the amazing performances from last weekend we've got you as we save it for the end and clearly state where it begins. We DO cover the incredible performances from IronMan Texas with Kat Matthews and Rudy von Berg, Challenge Gran Canaria with Anne Haug and Sam Laidlaw and discuss the reason why we won't see Gustav Iden in Ibiza next weekend.
