#19 - Jenson Button Triathlete & F1 Driver

Macca and MG are back in the ‘studio’ with a very special guest Formula 1 racing driver Jenson Button who happens to also be a pretty good triathlete.   Jenson talked about his journey into triathlon and his dreams for Kona and training whilst working as a F1 driver.   Macca shared the experience of being a part of the Crown Prince of Bahrain’s swim from Saudi Arabia to Bahrain – 31kms and change – a swim that proved to be a very challenging one and an honour to be a part of.    In another Middle East trip Macca took part in the Ride for Roy to honour and fundraise in memory of the triathlete Roy Nasr killed tragically in a bike accident.   The boys reviewed the weekend’s racing action in ITU at New Plymouth where Mario Mola took the honours ahead of Gomez.   Finally a wrap up of Ironman Asia Pacific in Melbourne with Chris sharing the experience from a coach’s perspective.   Don’t forget to check out the 2014 Thanyapura Supercamp – >> www.thanyapura.com/supercamp  which will be August 23rd-30th.  The boys finished with a Q and A session. #Caroline Steffen, #Javier Gomez, #David Dellow, #Katie Hursey, #Jurgen Zack, #Mario Mola, #Ben Hammond, #Paul Amey, #Ichyban Tri, #Jenson Button Trust Triathlon, #Challenge Fuertevenura, #Terenzo Bozzone, #Chloe McCardle, #Iain Murray, #Jan Frodeno, #Emma Snowsill, #Malcolm Page, #Baden Cooke, #Kate Hollywood, #Nick Gates, #Martin Strel (Big River Man), #TriDubai, #IM Asia Pacific, #IMSA, #Jonathan Brownlee, #Leanda Cave, #Ronnie Shildknecht, #Ky Hurst, #Dirk Bockel, #Courtney Atkinson, #Benjamin Sanson, #Axl Zeebroek, #Luke Mckenzie, #Paul Matthews, #Michael Weiss, #Marino Vanhoenacker, #Christian Kemp, #Rebekah Keat, #Mary-Beth Ellis, #Peter Robertson, #Derek King, #Angela Naeth, #Casey Munro, #Kim Schwabenbauer, #Crowie, #Challenge Roth, #Mirinda Carfrae, #Sebastian Kienle, #Bevan Docherty, #The Raelerts, #Anderson Silva, #George St Pierre, #Prince Al Khalifa, #Prince Nasser, #Ride for Roy, #Roy Nasr
