Noosa Triathlon Series: 8,500 athletes on the start list for Noosa weekend and 58% of them first-timers, and Courtney explains why three Noosa titles are still what people remember him for.
Liam's in for HYROX Brisbane with his wife, Courtney gets caught shirtless in the Nerang trails after swearing he never runs without one, and the boys pick through Sydney Marathon winner Peres Jepchirchir's provisional EPO suspension, an AI count of every shoe at mile 21 of the Marine Corps Marathon, and Courtney's 30-year school 3000m record finally falling. Plus Liam's liver specialist asks him "when did you put the weight on?", and Kilian Jornet on eating real food.
Two blokes who actually race, on a doping story, a shoe count and a weigh-in nobody else would admit to on air.
