We catch up on the racing and news from the weekend. Louise Saggers won the free race entry to IRONMAN Cairns. We found out how her day went. We share Lionel Sander’s YouTube video which centres on his recent experiences with injuries, particularly stress fractures.

We talk to her about her work as an ‘Anti Diet Dietitian’ and her article ‘Eating Healthy Might be Hurting Your Performance’.
