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!

Greg recounts tales from his days as an Uber Driver in Western Sydney driving A list celebs from A to B around town. 

We go deep on IRONMAN New Zealand the 2026 season opener in the pro series, with our biggest ever AG team set to take on the iconic race and mass swim start.

Was there a “Bradbury’ type moment in IRONMAN in 2025?

Let’s be honest, we’ve had a few letters over the years, and we feel with the help of the triathlon community we have become more inclusive and open minded.  After all Greg himself is evidence of that! 

‘West is best’ gets a visit, a police search is performed and another Casino review.  Events across the globe and a deep dive into new drafting rules for professional triathletes, riveting!

A podcast that prides itself on life lessons and street smarts, you will come away from this episode much richer for the experience. 

Greg teaches us about nature, Tim discovers how the ‘volunteer’ eco-system works after living an incredibly sheltered existence. 

The podcast equipment in heading west for the weekend, apologies in advance for questionable content and more soccer stories.

In the interests of fair play, Tim puts in place all the lessons from the past to ensure Greg doesn’t become riddled with a vigorous and highly contagious bug, after all there is $1500 at stake here.

Caz joins us to chat about mass swim starts, open water swimming and recounts a few of her own experiences, good, bad and ugly.  Some great tips, also some great race stories from Kona and Frankfurt IRONMAN.

Is it OK for middle aged men to chant at the tennis and wear team jumpers?  Should diving and gymnastics be an Olympic sport?

All that and more as we work our way closer to start lines in season 2026.

It’s very rare when the sequel is better than the original, and we will let the critics decide if that’s the case.  True to his word Tim dresses as a clown as we received confirmation that Zoot became the OMEGA division World Champions for 2025.  CEO of Zoot Doug Vargo joined Tim for a serious and considered chat about the World Title as well as what lies ahead for the gorgon that is Zoot in 2026.

Gregs “No Alcohol” streak is over as he succumbs to the drink, 14 days was such a huge effort and one that he and the entire Koa Sports community should be proud of, well done mate.

2026 we go bigger and better, lets go!

We chased all year long and racked up almost 1 million points to earn our place onto the Division 1 global podium for 2025 and a massive congratulations to all our athletes who scored points across the season.  In the words of Tim Shaw from Demtel….. ‘But wait there’s more!’

A story from the past when a car parked inside Tim’s house and Greg’s journey is headed in the right direction.

Another quality podcast to sign off in 2025 after a quality year of results.
