Rhys Atterton is your quintessential age-group athlete. Full-time shift work, married with two young children, and he still gets it done. If you were looking for a Koa Sports athlete Rhys is it! Works hard and celebrates even harder.

With a background in national-level soccer, his endurance foundation was built early.

Rhys hit the Kona Q dream in Da Nang in May, and we go through a blow-by-blow of his prep and the race itself.

Next stop for Rhys is the Hot Rock in October.

Koa Sports conquered the mountain, 5 IRONMAN Cairns TriClub titles in a row (2022-2026)!  The Michelle “Five Fa” Pfeiffer, with the shiny red Kookaburra held aloft at the presentation ceremony on Monday at Salthouse.

We unpack an incredible weekend in Cairns, including a few athletes’ interviews to hear straight from them on how the day unfolded. 

But we know what you’re all here for…. the afterparty, and we leave no stone unturned as Greg does himself a mischief and lets himself and the family down. 

Cuore and Zoot will open soon, along with a new rounds of hats and bucket hats, do you still want the rope?  Comment below.

Congratulations everyone, GO RED!

Feedback is a gift and chance to grow and be better, which is why Tim has put together a list, Gregs TOP 20 TRIGGERS.  It’s a strong list, perhaps relatable for some?

Simon Mak is undertaking his first IRONMAN distance in Cairns on the weekend, and we catch up with a man set to ring the bell up the chute. 

Pro tips and deep field analysis and course tips from those that have walked the walk. 

The team is chasing 5 IRONMAN TriClub titles in a row, surely not?

What do you look for in your coaching?  What are some considerations and ‘red flags’ when hiring a coach?  Extensive due diligence is critical when making the decision to hire the person that will play a critical role in the journey you will take in endurance sports.

A call from one of Koa Sports favourite hype guys who recently tied the knot!  A low-key ceremony followed by a romantic afternoon to celebrate the nuptials.

IRONMAN Cairns is coming in HOT, it’s a stacked AG field and we are just happy to be a part of it, chasing our 5th IRONMAN TriClub title in a row in Cairns. 

Perform Sunday, dominate Monday.

Will need to get a few things ‘ticked off’ by legals, but we could be onto something here. A Koa Calcutta or Sweepstakes, for charity of course.

We catch up with supercoach Caroline Steffen from Port Mac to chat about her Cairns experiences and training in Europe. 

With the beer mile on ice for a few years, its time to push into a new activation, who’s in?

Western Sydney 70.3, Busso 100, IRONMAN Vietnam and UltraMan Oz going down in the past few weeks and coaches on the road in all directions, it’s BAU for the Koa Sports Podcast.

Some would say Vietnam was a great triathlon, many would argue Vietnam was a great ‘footy trip’, you can decide. If you comment below for 2027, Greg will share with you his now infamous entry into the night club pool.  Drink responsibly.

We secured our 19th IRONMAN TriClub title, having still never erected a single tent on race day, uncanny.

UltraMan is given the once over by Coach Tim Franklin who had 3 starters and 3 finishers in the top 10, taking our alumni to 23 in the 11 years, ohana.

So much more, but who reads words these days…. Enjoy!

Greg gives Tim a very uncomfortable compliment, one that will have many fuming at such a wildly inaccurate opinion.  It’s about to crank up again for athletes with racing on the horizon, T100 Singapore, IRONMAN Vietnam, Western Sydney 70.3, Busso 100…. The list goes on.

Outside assistance?  Or just true human spirit and the Ohana of IRONMAN?  Things get heated in the studio.

The competition to WIN a high quality PrimaLoft Cuore Puffer Jacket is off to a flying start, get in before entries close on April 12th.

We learn something new about Greg this episode, as we dive deeper on his obsession with airplanes and flight.  He may never get to fly a plane himself, but it’s never too late to expand your skills and do a bit of ‘PD’. 

IRONMAN events continue to sell out, the sport is on a heater, and Koa Sports rolls on with 2026. 

Easter is done, lock yourself in!

In our first ever triathlon focused podcast, IRONMAN and T100 battled it out for the hearts, minds and attention of the triathlon community on the weekend.  The well established albeit boosted IRONMAN Pro Series Geelong 70.3 taking on the inaugural T100 Gold Coast, in what seemingly appears to be two belter events with no clear winner.

We caught up with Koa Sports Professional Female Laura Gillard to talk about her stunning Top 10 result on debut, as well as review a great day of racing, and Greg provides insights, tips and feedback as to how the day unfolded but areas for improvement for the start up T100 series moving forward.  #givingback

The box trifecta got up in Geelong, Greg had to share his bread serving with others and can we all agree the new airport scanners are slower than the old, what a world.

It’s time Koa gave back, and that’s what we are all about!  A bumper weekend of racing across Australia see’s a huge contingent of athletes taking on the T100 on the Gold Coast, Geelong 70.3 and 2XU Melbourne.  Never has there been a more athletes racing across a single day in triathlon history, spread far and wide, which is of course the perfect day to put the Grand Final on the GC.

NZ airport security, conversations in public on speaker phones and Gregs found a nice little spot for post race Danang.

WIN a puffer jacket, listen to the pod to found out how.

For the first time in Koa Sports history, we took the title at IRONMAN NZ 2026, but it wasn’t all smooth sailing.  Did someone say global conspiracy? Tim is sounding more and more like Alex Jones.

A monster performance demands a monster pod, and we deliver here.  Interviews with athlete post-race, and all the tales in and around, including an epic after party.

Congratulations to all athletes who performed on the day and gave it their all.

GO RED!
