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.   Don’t forget to check out the 2014 Thanyapura Supercamp – >> www.thanyapura.com/supercamp

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.
