#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.

 

Don’t forget to check out the 2014 Thanyapura Supercamp – >> www.thanyapura.com/supercamp << which will be August 23^rd-30^th. 

The boys finished with a Q and A session.
