Chasing the Burn

She became Olympic Champion in her home nation of France on the roaring streets of Paris in 2024 and then World Champion later that year. Eighteen months and a few hard days later, Cassandre Beaugrand joins Chasing the Burn for a reflective and transparent conversation on the biggest day in her career and the year that followed. We discuss her approach to pressure, the absence of an instruction manual on life after Olympic gold, how she navigated 2025 and how lessons learnt will guide her 2026 and beyond (spoiler- day by day).

A Friday evening "tri-intervew" between the CEO of the PTO (Professional Triathletes Organization) Sam Renouf + Olympic Champ Flora Duffy + Triathlon Enthusiast Chelsea Burns. During this conversation we attempt to unpack the World Triathlon x PTO T100 collaboration that will arrive in 2027 and most importantly consider the impact of this change on triathlon in the Olympics.

The final podcast of 2025 features a return appearance from Chasing the Burn's favorite co-host, Flora Duffy. Dialing in from different hemispheres, our conversation includes thoughts from the T100's final in Qatar, their changes coming in 2026 and of course the merger with the soon-to-be T50.

The winner of the Ironman Pro Series in 2025 joins Chasing the Burn remotely from a dark December offseason evening in England. Listen to an excellent chat with the woman who has mastered the art of second place finishes at World Championship events and hear her explore what might be the reason for this. Beyond that we discuss psychology, heat illness, military lessons, calf raises and more.

Trying something new! After 20 months of searching I found a co-host to try out the concept of a casual conversation on recent racing and other happenings in the sport. Plenty more interviews to come but for this episode, enjoy listening to Flora Duffy & I discuss our reactions to 70.3 Worlds in Marbella plus a few other topics.
