    Nick Chase: Bonking at Roth, Barricading Solar Hill, and Why RTS Exists

    Nick Chase has his hands in everything — pro triathlete, founder of the Real Triathlon Squad, host of the Real Triathlon Podcast, blueseventy brand curator. He just got back from Challenge Roth, and this one gets real fast. We talk through the Solar Hill footage everyone's seen — Sam Laidlow bouncing off age-groupers on lap two — and whether Roth needs barricades or better crowd control. Then Nick walks us through his own race unraveling at 30K: hands tingling, lips numb, waking up leaned against a windowsill with strangers shaking him awake, then 45 minutes waiting on an ambulance. We dig into why "100g of carbs an hour" isn't gospel for every athlete, his three years on ENVE and hookless wheels, and how RTS went from a pandemic-era idea to a coaching company, podcast, and 27-athlete pro roster — plus the nonprofit he's quietly building on the side.

    Sea Otter, Texas, and the Races That Matter Next

    Eric’s back after rebuilding Slowtwitch’s classifieds and directories, a family vacation, and a full week on the ground at Sea Otter Classic. The crew breaks down what’s happening in the bike industry — Stages is back under Giant’s ownership, Mavic is rebuilding from zero after losing every dealer record in bankruptcy, and direct-from-factory brands showed up with bikes at price points that’ll shake things up. Then Kevin reports from IRONMAN Texas: Blummenfelt dominates but pukes his guts out doing it, Van Riel pushes him to the edge, Brock O’well comes out of nowhere with a 7:29 (Ben called it), and the Kat Matthews flat tire sparks a heated debate about carrying tubes vs. relying on tech support. On the women’s side — Solvay Løvseth cements herself as the real deal, Taylor Nib nails her sub-three marathon goal, and the crew pushes back on the idea that women and men further back should quit early based on pro series points. Plus: T100 Singapore preview with Hayden Wilde vs. Matt Hauser, WTCS Yokohama without Yee or Hauser, and why 20 meters of drafting distance still isn’t solving anything.
