Tactics, Training and Temperatures, with Triathlon Hour’s Jack Kelly and Ari Klau

okay wait you just mentioned something i want to touch on so win chattanooga 2027 what is the realistic because it's not impossible anyone who can run 108 and faster can can win the world championship um what has to happen from now until then i'm obviously we're assuming it's going to be mostly your swim how much does that have to improve based off your like do you think it's plausible or is that kind of like just something you're saying

It depends how strong the current is.

If it's no current like this year, then no, I would say it's not plausible.

But if it's... as strong as usual, if not stronger.

I don't know how it is because it's in August.

So it's going to be insanely hot, insanely humid.

Maybe that river is just like fucking plowing down.

Well, I

did it in 2017, and we didn't swim downstream.

We swam like a triangle from the shore.

So it was actually more against the current than with the current.

So the swim times were slow.

I think Ben Canute or whoever led was like 24 or something.

shit all right that does not work in my favor yeah in that case i'm gonna have to get a lot better at swimming over the next 13 months um yeah yeah in my head i was like oh down river world championship that's crazy i'll never have a better shot we'll we'll have to see will they uh you know release the course i wouldn't put put it past iron man to do a down river world championship

I was, Ari, I thought when you said Chattanooga 2027, I thought you were just referring to the one that usually happens in like May, which I think is great.

And then I was like, wait a

sec.

It

doesn't make sense.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You

think that's seven and a half thousand dollars means his missus can quit her like 150 grand a year tech job.

Oh

man.
