Welcome back to 500 Cats, episode 23! This week, we dive into the recent IRONMAN Frankfurt, celebrating Kristian Blummenfelt's incredible run and discussing the controversial penalties that stirred up social media. We also share our frustrations with the rampant negativity and "keyboard warriors" in online comments, contrasting it with the overwhelmingly positive community surrounding the Western States 100 broadcast. Plus, we're joined by pro triathlete Justin Metzler, who shares his perspective on dealing with online negativity, his career inflection point, and his passion for coaching. We wrap up by pondering the motivation behind online hate and sharing some inspiring words on spreading positivity.
