today.Absolutely. Yeah, and you spoke, right? I mean, so my connection into the, especially the Aussies is, is triathlon.
Kip KnippelHOST
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.
Kip KnippelHOST
That's, that's amazing that you were able to be around that.

Scott DeRueGUEST
Yeah, when I first joined the organization in January of 2024, he was on my shortlist of people that were recommended I call first.
Scott DeRueGUEST
Is that right? And so within my first week, I was on a Teams call, a video chat with Crowey, just learning about the history of the sport, learning about him.

Bevan McKinnonHOST
And, uh, I went back through some data and some articles from way back in the day of what are some of the quoted times and some of the power outputs that were required to make that climb.
Bevan McKinnonHOST
And this goes all the way back to, uh, Craig Alexander and Luke McKenzie days.
Bevan McKinnonHOST
I remember there being a Triathlete Magazine article of the power numbers that they were pushing and the sort of times it took them to make that climb.
Bevan McKinnonHOST
Uh, and you were right in it, uh, in terms of time-wise just for that training ride, but you did it on about, oh, I reckon about 40 or 50 less watts.
Aaron RoyleHOST
Right.
Aaron RoyleHOST
My fifth one is actually, it is the number one that I've written down here is Craig Alexander from 2011.
Aaron RoyleHOST
Um, For me, it's maybe a bit of a nostalgia one.
Aaron RoyleHOST
Obviously, up until that point, and to be fair, I am a short course guy at heart, but I reckon that was the first race of Kona that I really sat down and watched pretty well from start to finish.
Aaron RoyleHOST
Yeah.
Aaron RoyleHOST
So thank you very much.
Aaron RoyleHOST
Craig Alexander broke the record in that race by about five seconds.
Aaron RoyleHOST
So number four is Lucy Charles Barkley from 2023.

Ignacio GarciaHOST
This is Craig Alexander, who won the Ironman World Championship three times and the 70.3 World Championship twice.
Ignacio GarciaHOST
And in 2011, at 38, he broke the course record that had stood for 15 years to become the oldest man in Kona, Hawaii.
Ignacio GarciaHOST
He did it Not with the single highest peak in the sport, but with a career built on consistency and staying available year after year.
