#220 - How Kona Has Changed with Chris McCormack
While the Kona buzz is still alive we thought we would wheel out two-time winner, Chris McCormack to chat about how the Kona race has changed since the first time it was raced.
Chris talks us through all of the changes we have seen including the move to the big island, removal of the lead u-haul van, changes to technology, gear the course and even race tactics.
Chris gives his thoughts on some of the rule changes that he thinks have made the race worse and why we are seeing times get better and better.
He also gives his thoughts on some of the key performances from this year's race and why he think Gustav Iden would be so hard to beat in Kona.

#215 - Can Anyone Beat Blummenfelt & Ryf?
With Kona less than a month away people are starting to turn their attention to who they think is going to win and Mark Allen has gone out on a limb and predicted wins for Daniela Ryf and Kristian Blummenfelt.
We joke, but is there anyone capable of beating them on the big island? Ryf has a proven record there and Kristian has taken the 'rules' of triathlon and torn them to pieces.
We also unpack all of the action from Super League London, discuss a bizarre DNF in Mexico and once again 'discuss' what the PTO is up to at the moment.

That was certainly the case over the weekend in Swansea where Alistair Brownlee put together an amazing performance to comfortably win. That is just one of the races we recap this weekend as well as the new transgender athlete policy from World Triathlon, the return of Lucy Charles-Barclay and whether racing categories like cycling could work for triathlon.

Considering a big part of our audience probably doesn't know (or care) what the Commonwealth Games are, we are going to pretend like we don't spend a lot of time talking about the Commonwealth Games this week.
If we did talk about the Commonwealth Games though we would probably discuss all the drama from the men's race and the absolute domination of Flora Duffy in the women's race.
We do talk a lot about the announced captains' picks for the European and US Collins Cup teams and the controversy around the absence of Emma Pallant-Browne!

The PTO called this the greatest ever performance!
So this week, we discuss this in detail. Was it the best ever performance? Or is that something that cannot be decided based purely on numbers and algorithms?
We also discuss the news that Jonny Brownlee will miss the Commonwealth Games, lots of baby news in the world of pro triathlon and some serious domination from Flora Duffy, Hayden Wilde and Danila Ryf over the weekend!

#204 - All-Star PTO Tour?
The PTO have promised us that their tour races will see the best of the best race each other and it looks like they might be coming good on their promise as the first names are announced for their PTO Tour event in Canada. Will we see more Norwegian domination or will a local favourite take the win?
We also look at the ridiculous amount of races this weekend and wonder whether it would be better to have one pro race this weekend that everyone races at rather than many races with some good names at each?

#146 - Can Anyone Beat Jan Frodeno with Chris McCormack
On the list of things that get better with age you wouldn't probably put triathletes but Jan Frodeno is proving that age is but a number after a commanding performance over the weekend leaving us to wonder, is there anyone who can beat him?
To tackle such a big question we thought we should bring in the big guns so Macca joins us this week to give us his thoughts on whether anyone can beat the German powerhouse and if so how.
We also preview this weekend's St George 70.3, talk about Ironman taking away the swim and Daniela Ryf leaving her coach.

#142 - Is This The End of Sponsorship?
A news packed episode this week with so much to talk about including the Super League Arena Games, Ironman New Zealand, Geelong 70.3 and a look at the recent Tokyo qualification of Chris Thompson, an On sponsored athlete who wore a blacked out pair of Nike's with permission from On.
This makes us ask the question, if every athlete is choosing to wear the Nike super shoes why would they ever sponsor an athlete again? Almost every pro athlete in any race now uses Nike if they are sponsored or not. So will we see an end to athlete sponsorship for shoes or will other brands catch up?

#116 - Is This the End of Kona?
Lots to unpack this week with the news that Daniela Ryf has done a 'Lionel' and is out injured, endurance sports tv is crowdfunding and the PTO is supporting even more races.
We also saw a number of races happen around the world with some of the biggest names in the sport lining up in Cairns for the Asia-Pacific Championship. We round-up all the professional racing then turn our eye to the age group race.
199 age group finishers competed for 75 Kona slots in Cairns and the internet has done what the internet does. This makes us ask the question? Is this the end of Kona? What do we mean? We mean, does this change people's opinions of racing Kona? Is it about getting the strongest field possible to line up or as many athletes on the pier as possible?

#115 - Who Can Beat Jan Frodeno & Daniela Ryf with Chris McCormack
Long course triathlon has been dominated by Jan Frodeno and Daniela Ryf in recent years. So much so that most of their competition have admitted that they don't even think they can beat them!
Does this mean that Jan and Dani have beaten their competitors before the race has even begun? Who or what will it take for someone to stand up to their dominance and not be afraid? Who if anyone can beat them?
To discuss this we are joined by Macca to get his insights into the who, what and why of this question.

With no Kona this year or much racing at all, we look to the future to try and work out who we think will be the next new Kona champions. Who will be the next male and female athletes to win Kona who have never won Kona before?
Will it be crowd favourite Lionel Sanders or will his second place be his best effort? Can Lucy Charles-Barclay put together a performance good enough to beat Daniela Ryf? Or do we need to look further into the future at up and coming stars like Kristian Blummenfelt or Ashleigh Gentle?
We also discuss the announcement of Taupo 2022 for 70.3 World Championships, the return of professional cycling and Joe Skipper's crazy 12-hour record

This week we are joined by John McAvoy, a former armed robber and one of Britain’s most wanted men.

Given two life sentences and given assurances by the justice system that he’d never change and always be a danger to society John started his stay in one of Britain’s highest security prisons.
John’s story is fascinating for so many reasons, but ultimately because it highlights the importance and power of sport and the power of opportunity - the difference between having it or not.

#60 - Professional Triathlete Sarah Alexander
One of the biggest benefits of being part of MX Endurance is access to our team of experts. Sarah Alexander is one of our racing experts. Sarah uses her experience as a racing professional triathlete to help our members maximise their performance.
So to help everyone get to know Sarah a little better, James Bale sat down and discussed her progression through the sport. Sarah does not have a background in triathlon competing as both a figure-skater and rower before making the shift to triathlon.
Sarah talks about the challenges she has faced coming to triathlon later in life, what racing ITU and Super League was like and the differences now she focuses on 70.3.

#19 - Jenson Button Triathlete & F1 Driver
Macca and MG are back in the ‘studio’ with a very special guest Formula 1 racing driver Jenson Button who happens to also be a pretty good triathlete.
Jenson talked about his journey into triathlon and his dreams for Kona and training whilst working as a F1 driver.
Macca shared the experience of being a part of the Crown Prince of Bahrain’s swim from Saudi Arabia to Bahrain – 31kms and change – a swim that proved to be a very challenging one and an honour to be a part of.
In another Middle East trip Macca took part in the Ride for Roy to honour and fundraise in memory of the triathlete Roy Nasr killed tragically in a bike accident.
The boys reviewed the weekend’s racing action in ITU at New Plymouth where Mario Mola took the honours ahead of Gomez.
Finally a wrap up of Ironman Asia Pacific in Melbourne with Chris sharing the experience from a coach’s perspective.

#15 - Kona IronmanSpecial 2013
Show Notes:
THE PROS Macca as we know is not racing due to glandular fever. MG and Macca sit down and talk all things Kona – who are their picks? How will the race pan out at the big dance?
Both agree Pete Jacobs is looking in great form having decimated the field in Sunshine Coast 70.3 including swimming with and over Clayton Fettell. A lot will depend on the bike. The benefit of riding in the front pack on the bike has been calculated by Aaron Hersh as 4.30mins Can the 2.40 marathon be beaten – maybe Pete Jacobs or Crowie both capable. The guys talked about how Pete Jacobs will cope in a less than perfect race and will Crowie miss his old nemesis, Macca?
THE GIRLS Excited – two years since Chrissie Wellington retired. Leanda Cave won last year and is everything CW was. Now it’s time to stand up to win. Rachel Joyce – hard to beat – hasn’t raced a lot this year Caroline Steffen – amazing form – fell apart last year scared to win Yvonne Van Vlerken – also up ther…
