In this video I’m breaking down what IRONMAN 70.3 Geelong did to the 2026 IRONMAN Pro Series—because it wasn’t just a “nice early-season race,” it reshuffled the deck. I go through the men’s and women’s results and compare actual finishing positions against the pre-race predictions, so you can see who nailed it, who missed, and what those outcomes tell us about current form. We’re talking big names and big signals: Kristian Blummenfelt, Jelle Geens, Hayden Wilde, Kat Matthews, and Tamara Jewett all factor into the story in a meaningful way. Then I update the Pro Series standings heading into IRONMAN 70.3 Oceanside, which is shaping up to be one of the deepest fields we’ll see early in the year—71 pro men and 32 pro women expected. I preview the key contenders, the dark horses, and the storyline matchups that can swing points and momentum. My goal is to give you a clear, coach-level view of what matters: how these results translate into what happens next, and why Oceanside is a pivotal stop if you care about the Pro Series race and not just one finish line.
