Kurt McDonald Uncut

Giving you the chance to have all your questions answered! From haircut requests, to my FTP, no stone was left unturned. This episode was a lot of fun, so thank you to everyone for taking part.  See you next week! 

Fresh off a win at the Airlie Beach Triathlon, I unpack my preparation and provide some insights into the race. To make it 3/3 wins this month is certainly special, thank you July! After a week away from the podcast I felt a little rusty, but it was good to be back behind the microphone.    Thank you for joining me on my journey.     See you next week! 

Opening with a question I NEED answered, before discussing my recent swim form and victory at the Jetty 2 Jetty. Ellie also returned from Europe and we celebrated her Birthday! I then take a deep dive into part one of my 2023 triathlon season, giving you all the racing insights from my point of view.    Thank you for joining me on my journey.    See you next week!
