This week's guest on the Slowtwitch Podcast is Brad Weiss. The two-time XTERRA World Champion talked about just how excited he was for the IRONMAN World Championship to come to Nice and the quality of the event there. We also dive into his bike position penalty -- and what race organizers might do in the future to prevent this situation, and if they're feasible at scale.

We're also talking through this weekend's XTERRA World Championship races, and for the gear heads, we discuss his Giant mountain bike and respective choices for this weekend's course.
