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 which will be August 23rd-30th.

Macca and MG with a live studio audience present a podcast reviewing the latest racing from the Southern Hemisphere including IMNZ, Husky Long course, Challenge Philippines and Devonport Tri. First up Ironman New Zealand taken out by Marko Albert with a cracking second place to legend Cam Brown and a solid third from MaccaX friend Terenzo Bozzone. The guys discuss the DNF from ‘supermodel’ Bevan Docherty. The girls’ race was won in record time by Meredith Kessler. MG asks if this has motivated Macca…. Next up Husky Long Course in NSW, Australia taken out by a very in form Pete Jacobs. Solid performances from other Aussies, Tim Reed and Sam Appleton with the girls’ race taken out by Liz Blatchford. Macca told us of his Challenge Philippines experience where even getting behind a tuk tuk didn’t help. Is this the hardest race in the Southern Hemisphere? Macca mixed with royalty when the royal princes of Bahrain raced at the Challenge event. Devenport used to be one of the must do races in Australia – Macca infamously got banned from this race…….back in the day! The experts then cast their eyes over the upcoming events, notably IM Melbourne and Abu Dhabi. Will Crowie win Melbourne, can Supermodel finish the race? Abu Dhabi short course will feature the Brownlee brothers. Macca spoke about his upcoming plans – he’s off to Carnivale in Rio with Michael Phelps but before that he’ll be doing a charity ride in the UAE . The heir to the Bahrain throne is swimming from Saudi Arabia to Bahrain – a cool 34km and Chris is joining on this crazy endeavor. Other news: Camps are now on the website www.maccax.com/camps Places will fill fast…. Macca shoots a commercial for Under Armour’s launch in Australia with Rebel Sport. The guys finish up with questions from the facebook group and Big Ring gets on the line…. Please take the time to leave a review on itunes.

The boyz have on the first ever official guest, multiple Ironman winner and legend in the sport. Topics covered ... Lace V's Macca Race Macca coaching Xena Jurgen Zach Hawaii Stories Upcoming Camps - www.MaccaX.com/camps The new bolder .... What Jurgen thinks Macca's weaknesses are Is Jurgen going back to Kona? Racing in the heat Who will win the 70.3 World Championships this year. MG and Macca welcome to the show our first international guest Jurgen Zack 8 Ironman distance wins to his name. Jurgen was a big part of the German dominance at this distance. Jurgen talked about his voyage into triathlon and IM – starting as a track runner when an injury got him cycling. Then he found triathlon, taught himself to swim and started racing. Initially he said he would NEVER race at Hawaii – it looked crazy. He raced his first Hawaii in 1989 – a virtual unknown – and came 7th. He quickly came to realize he loved the atmosphere of Hawaii and would be back. In 1997 Jurgen finished Roth in 7.51 only to be passed with one mile to go! Jurgen Zack is not done yet – does he have unfinished business in Hawaii – will the Zack Attack be back? Macca talked about his role as Caroline ‘Xena’ Steffen’s coach and also the disappointment of the Last Dance with Lance being postponed. Macca, MG and Jurgen talked about the athletes coming across to long course – the likes of Gomez, Frodeno and the Brownlees – the Wind of Change is here and it’s going to be fascinating! Also in the show – training camps for 2014 announced, Macca’s pick for the 70.3 Worlds and a wrap up of the Geelong 70.3 last week as well as a lot of fun and humour.

Summary ... Auckland 70.3 + Wanaka Upcoming races What Chris has been up to and how his training is going Macca's Race Schedule for 2014 Can he still be competitive in 2014 at 41 + with his new role? Podcast schedule Lance Questions From The Team Charles Breen - How to effectively balance training fatigue with the slow burning stresses of an office job J.Granger - Back in the day you had the "big four" They each had their own character and enigma. So what would be the modern day big four and what do they add to our great sport?

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 there for third Mirinda Carfrae – for third The talk on the island is always about the weather and of course it will be hot and windy! Prepare for the worst ride 808’s. MG and Macca discuss how so many people are out training in the heat – it’s in the bank, don’t bother. Macca will be attending the TGINR party hosted by Bob Babbitt. MG – talked about the race management at Kona – no support provided for the pro’s – or not enough. What difference would it make? The sport hasn’t evolved enough. Rules need to progress. HOW SHOULD THE AGE GROUPER APPROACH THE RACE? Heart rate can be deceiving due to the heat. You need a plan particularly a marathon plan. Run lower tyre pressure. Get it into your head – it’s going to be uncomfortable. EMBRACE THE SUCK Drink water not the Gatorade on the course – salt tabs for electrolytes. Gatorade makes you thirsty. 1L per hour. Be flexible in your nutrition during the race. Roll with the punches during the run. Great book – Waterlogged by Tim Noakes MG and Macca talked about Thanyapura in Thailand and what a great training facility especially for Kona prep. QUESTION TIME • When will Challenge run a World Championship? • St George Bank Series - how to run it – build a festival and they will come • How to keep weight on during training? • One piece of advice for your A race?
