The Triathlon Hour

Pete Jacobs (Ep 27)

Pete Jacobs won the 2012 Ironman World Championships in one of the more dominant performances we've seen. We talk in detail about what got him there and the role finishing runner up the year before played in that. We go deep on the inner workings of a race like the world championships in a way you don't really hear much about. Pete was the favourite to win in 2012 so hearing about what he did and where his head was at in the weeks leading up to being favourite to win the word champs, what he did the night before, the morning of, seconds before the gun went off was fascinating. We then talk about what's happened since then and where he's at currently. 

Ben Hoffman & Tim Reed (Ep 26)

Today we are joined by American professional triathlete Ben Hoffman and co-hosted for the first time by Australian pro triathlete and guest on Ep 1 of How They Train Tim Reed. Reedy is a good mate of host Jack. The boys talk about all things racing & training.
