‘Electronic sports (esports) racing has arrived and it’s here to stay! As coaches, you are part of the paradigm shift in the way athletes can prepare and compete on a world stage, and as athletes, the benefits are extraordinary.

When you think of esports, you might think of video games, where injuries and ailments are along the lines of carpal tunnel syndrome and vitamin D deficiencies. That landscape has shifted though, and now athletes can significantly benefit from various platforms in both cycling and running. Make no mistake, the great outdoors and fresh air will always take centre stage, but this is about complimenting those pastimes’ – Circa 2019, Tim Ballintine

We are on feet on the ground in Kona Hawaii for the 2024 Vinfast IRONMAN Mens World Championships! Imagine that, a triathlon podcast actually here… on the island!

The trip over is never without a dull moment, the Star Casino sting, a run in with ‘the lizard’ and the feds, lost bags and a double booked AirBNB. The team of 35 Koa Sports are ready to launch for Saturday but it’s time to preview the great race and go deep on the mens pro field. Stats, form, and nutrition strategies.

The Tiki Bar is OPEN.

Before the Koa Sports Podcast leans fully into the IRONMAN World Championships in Kona, we chat to two Koa Sports athletes (Patrick Roberts and Tristan Wright) who ran the Melbourne Marathon in under 3 hours, both for the first time. A significant time barrier for any endurance runner, just how did they do it?

Has IRONMAN officially approved the KSP for Media access in Kona? Did we land on the Moon? Tim is viscously trolled, broken pelvis and all! Hurtful!

The last podcast before we take this show on the road to the ONE AND ONLY World Championships, Kona.

It’s time to lift the lid on the zimmer frame. Tim shares his brave story of courage and inspiration, perhaps a pain tolerance unlike any other. For The 2024 70.3 World Championships in Taupo it feels a little like Lucy Charles withdrawing from Nice, it simply takes the edge off the great race, but that’s life and it’s up to other now to triumph on the big stage.

We catch up with 3 Koa Sports athletes, Ben Walker the winner of the naming of the Official Koa Sports Beer Mile Lager, ‘Knows Beers’. Leith Austin new to the athlete roster attended the Cairns Beer Mile as a spectator, but upon watching Greg and Tim narrowly avoid arrest decided this was his tribe, welcome home Leith.

The Founder of ‘west is best’ Gloria Nock chats about the group that continues to grow and her pathway to Taupo in just a few months’ time.

Did we mention Greg is taking his deep seeded internal pain out on pugs?
