EPISODE 252. BUSSO TO KONA

Nicola Wadey and Tom Upton are on the Road to Kona in 2026.  Nicola is a 6 x IRONMAN & 70.3 AG Champion and has been working with Koa since 2019, Tom has won his AG multiple times and juggles emergency services shift work with an appetite for solid training!  In 2025 at IRONMAN Western Sydney, they shared the top step both taking out the 35-39 AG titles.   For Nic, this will be her second time to Kona (2022), and Tom his first, having both qualified at IRONMAN Busselton in 2025, uniquely both athletes have rejected Kona slots in the past.   You’d have it all wrong if you think it comes easy and their performances are linear, from DNF’s to DNS’s and race destroying mechanicals.    Based in Melbourne, find out what not only their ‘road to kona’ has been like, but AG endurance sports for the past 6-7 years.   Join the Tribe   www.koasports.com
