If you are interested in triathlon then the last few weeks have seen something for everyone. We have had records broken in the lava fields of Kona both on the mens and womens side as well as the launch of the 2018/2019 Super League season.

Macca gives his thoughts on both races. We discuss how Super League Jersey unfolded and how this different format of racing impacted on the athletes. Macca believes that Super League will become a testing ground for future long course stars as well.

We then talk about Kona. So much to say but 2 course records absolutely destroyed. We talk about how both the mens and womens races unfolded and what these results will mean for next year's event. Macca gives his thoughts on which was a more impressive performance. His answer may surprise you. We also discuss some of the gutsy efforts and results off the podium.

Plenty of results to talk about including some impressive female performances at IM Lake Placid, IM UK and the ITU World Long Course Championships.

We also then discuss the difference between motivation and accountability and how Macca managed to train when he wasn't motivated. These are tips that all athletes, age group or pro can use to improve.
