We chat about the racing from the Loan Market Half at the weekend including the incredible performances and the use of race ranger.

We catch up with James Elvery from Race Ranger about the recent developments in drafting distance testing for triathlons, particularly in relation to IRONMAN events. He shares insights from recent tests where they experimented with different drafting distances, including 12 meters and 20 meters. James emphasizes the importance of accurate data collection and the feedback from athletes regarding their experiences with the Race Ranger system.

The discussion also delves into the future of Race Ranger, particularly its expansion into age-group events. James outlines the steps being taken to prepare for a larger rollout, including the development of new devices and the logistics of managing them at events.

The Loan Market Oceanside Mount Half use Race Ranger this weekend.

Pro Tri News have put out a survey to collect feedback on the drafting zone rules – we discuss what we know so far.

We chat to Dr Warren Bradley, Founder & CSO of Hytro - designers of the first Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) wearable, designed to improve sports performance.

Blood Flow Restriction works by tightening a strap around the top of your arms or legs to lock blood in the muscles while you perform light exercise or recovery routines. This helps your muscles get stronger and recover faster than they would without it.

When you're strapped in, the muscles that are being restricted fill up with oxygen-poor blood. This makes easy exercises and recovery routines feel tougher. It makes your muscles work harder and so helps your body adapt faster and better, making you stronger, improving your endurance, and helping you recover quicker.

Hytro has revolutionised BFR technology to seamlessly fit into performance protocols. Hytro's patented technology not only complements existing methods for enhancing sports performance but is the gold standard in isolated BFR wearable technology. We find out more…
