Back-to-back 70.3 wins with Grace Alexander

Fresh off her wins at Gulf Coast 70.3 and Chattanooga 70.3 — just one week apart! — Grace Alexander joins the show to tell us how she went from a 1:59 half-marathon to being a professional triathlete.

But first, the news of the week: a hot day at T100 Spain (Are the dramatic finish line collapses over-dramatic? The squad says no.), Lucy Charles-Barclay is back, and could we see the first sub-8 at Ironman Hamburg?

And then Grace shares:

• The effect the new 20-meter draft rule has had in her races so far
• Why her post-college triathlon journey started with Orangetheory Fitness classes
• Being the first woman to ever win an age-group 70.3 outright, and the steady progress she's made over the years
• The most common questions (and mistakes) from the athletes she coaches

Plus, she breaks down what a pro triathlete's week really looks like and how much volume she actually does.
