Bevan and Tim catch up on all the triathlon news plus we meet Tim Richards, Event Director for one of Australia’s most iconic triathlons, the Hell of the West.

We have 2 free race entries to give away to the Whakatipu Legend in Queenstown.

Hannah Berry is back on the show and she chats to us about the highlights from her 2024 racing season plus reflects on her journey to date in triathlon, the evolution of the sport and her recent T100 contract. Hannah shares insights on the increasing professionalism in triathlon, the challenges of balancing sponsorships and race schedules and her excitement for upcoming races.
