In this episode the boys sit down with one of the most respected athletes in world triathlon: Sam Dickinson.

A Commonwealth Games mixed relay gold medalist and Olympic mixed relay bronze medalist, Sam has built a reputation not only for his results but also for the crucial team role he’s played within one of the sport’s most dominant federations.

Sam joins Lockie and Lleyton on the Gold Coast to talk through his Olympic experience in Paris, the difference between competing at the COVID-era Tokyo Games versus the electric atmosphere in Paris, and what it’s like racing alongside athletes like Alex Yee during one of the most successful Olympic campaigns in triathlon history.

They also dive into his recent move into longer racing formats, including his impressive debut win at Ironman 70.3 Italy and podium finishes on the T100 circuit. Sam explains how short-course racing has shaped his strengths and how those skills translate to middle-distance racing.

From Olympic pressure and team dynamics to racing strategy and career evolution, this episode gives an inside look at elite triathlon from one of the sport’s most experienced competitors.

Lockie returns straight from racing at the Napier Sprint Distance Championships with a full race recap — including racing Olympic medalist Hayden Wilde, the chaotic swim start, and the controversial podium situation.

Then the boys dive into a bigger topic: why so many international triathletes are suddenly training on the Gold Coast.

From heated 50m pools and open water access to cycling routes, running surfaces, and training culture — they break down what actually makes the perfect triathlon training environment.

Racing is officially back.

With Napier kicking off the Oceania season, Lockie and Lleyton break down the course, the stacked start lists, and what it means to see names like Hayden Wilde back on the line. But before that, they dive deep into race day rituals — from process goals and psychological cues to rice pudding, black socks, same jocks since age ten, Red Bulls in transition, and even Fortnite before Junior Worlds.

Lockie explains his headphones-in, don’t-talk-to-me race bubble, while Lleyton takes a more go-with-the-flow approach. The boys compare morning vs twilight racing, discuss how pros mentally prepare, and share some of the wildest superstitions sent in by listeners (and a couple of world-class triathletes). They wrap it up with a full Napier preview — course breakdown, wind factors, key contenders in both the men’s and women’s fields — plus a discussion on the increased World Series prize money in Abu Dhabi and what it means for the future of short course racing.

Season’s back. Let’s go.
