#Ep 5 | 2025 Men's Ironman World Championship Recap
Less than 24 hours removed from the 2025 Men’s Ironman World Championship, Matt and Dave sit down for a bonus episode of The Full Distance Podcast to break down what might have been the best race in recent years.
From the swim dynamics with Jamie Riddle and Sam Laidlow, to the fireworks on the bike, to Casper’s lightning-in-a-bottle marathon, the boys give their raw take on the action — plus a few rants on the broadcast, commentary, and Ironman’s future direction.
Also inside:
– Kona vs Nice: which is better for athletes vs fans?
– Swim tactics, alliances, and Laidlow’s rough start
– Bike leg fireworks: Norwegians, Nick Thompson, and record-breaking splits
– Casper’s 2:29 marathon and what it means for the sport
– The best (and worst) parts of Ironman’s broadcast coverage
– Where the sport goes next (and why Oman’s gold bars might matter)
