Chris McCormack

today.Absolutely. Yeah, and you spoke, right? I mean, so my connection into the, especially the Aussies is, is triathlon.

And so, like, Chris McCormack and Craig Alexander are my two favorite Ironman World Champions of all time, and have been out to Kona and actually met Crowley and just, just love that Australian triathlon culture.

That's, that's amazing that you were able to be around that.

Oh, it was, it was so fun.

[laughs]

...

Chris McCormack, I spent time socializing with him-

Oh

Christian tried, came back for Paris 24 and did not manage anything.

Chris McCormack back in the day tried to do it, like

loads of people failed and done

it.

exactly.

You know, from 2007 to 2012, it was the Australian domination, obviously with Craig Alexander, Chris McCormack, PJ.

And then we move on to 2014 to 2019 when the Germans took over.

And we still obviously still have Patrick Langer as one of those.

Like, this idea that...

Like, again, Chris McCormack got me into triathlon, you know, watching him try to win the bloody thing.

Like, you know, hearing his story about constantly going and failing and failing, and he should have done it.

Kristian is sort of on a similar journey in Kona to me as Chris was, where you look at Kristian and he should win the thing.

You know, they, they were kind of breakthrough guys in that era.

Chris McCormack was definitely someone that was, um, you know, very good at marketing himself in a time where that was sort of seen to be, like, quite hard.

Yeah.

Um, but another one that I know you're about to mention is the Lionel Sand-

Yep.

Like, there's been some, there's been some big ones.

I mean, I read, uh, Chris McCormack's book, like a couple years ago.

Yeah.

On the back, it talks about the career so far.

So that's your Chris McCormack 2023 Hall of Fame.

I think it says one of one, so I don't know what that means.

Here we go.
