Plenty to cover from T100 London, starting with Hayden Wilde’s incredible win less than 100 days after a horrific bike crash and Lucy Charles-Barclay’s brilliant performance that makes her a clear contender for the Ironman World Championships in Kona this October. We break down both the men’s and women’s races, with the women’s race standing out as one of the best T100 events we have seen.

Away from London, Alex Yee smashed a 5km road race, setting up an epic showdown the next time he races Hayden. We then preview Ironman Kalmar, where Chelsea Sodaro and Nikki Bartlett headline the women’s race, and Ironman Copenhagen, which sees Joe Skipper going head-to-head with Rasmus Svenningson in what promises to be an exciting battle.
