He was the first athlete to win both the IRONMAN and IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship in the same year in 2011, is the recipient of an Order of Australia Medal for service to sport and the community and earlier this year became an IRONMAN in Australia Hall of Fame inductee.One of the greatest ever triathletes, his softly spoken and gentle manner give no indication of the level of tenacity, commitment and determination it took for him to reach the top of the sport and stay there for many years. From his first professional race in 1995 right through to his retirement in 2014, Craig found another gear, another level and was not afraid to dig deeper and deeper into the hurt locker to succeed in a sport that he is eternally passionate about and grateful for the career and success it has afforded him.   Now retired from professional sport, he still races, albeit sparingly and maintains a high level of fitness.  In 2019 he won the Australian Long Course Championships aged 46, twenty years after capturing his first National Championship Title. He spends his time with his family, supporting them and many of his children's sporting endeavours as a father and a coach. He is an author, broadcaster and shortly after retirement from professional sport launched his own training, health and lifestyle brand, Sansego which keeps him busy, as well as being an ambassador for a variety events, brands, charitable causes and foundations, his passion for sport knows no bounds. This is a super chat with a simply incredible person, the show is longer than normal so maybe fill the kettle rather than just making one cuppa and chill out whilst you are inspired, educated and motivated by one of the all-time greats of triathlon and sport.

From the Archives: Dave ScottDave Scott is already well known for his achievements - 6 time winner of Ironman Hawaii between 1980 and 1987, successful coach to champion athletes like Chrissie Wellington, Craig Alexander, Tim Don and Julie Dibens.What is less well known is his ongoing battle with depression that has, at times, left him unable to get off the couch. Dave is open and honest about the challenges he's faced - how, despite the World regarding him as ‘The Man', and his countless race successes, striving for perfection and falling short often left him feeling worthless. And he also shares about how, with time, he's come to see things differently, how his children have helped him, and how, in turn, he's managed to help other highly driven and obsessive athletes find a little more balance - as well as World Championship victories.We also hear Dave's thoughts on the efforts of the PTO and their aim of making the sport more professional.

Several years ago, I listened to Craig Alexander (3-time Ironman World Champion) talking about who might win that year's edition of the race in Hawaii. He noted that there were 10-12 athletes who had the potential to win the event but only 4-5 who would be in the mix come the run. The remainder would have discounted themselves due to poor decision-making. Note that he didn't say they weren't strong enough on the bike or fast enough on the run! In this instance the poor decisions could have been: pushing too hard early on the bike, holding back too long on the run, nutrition strategy, or just poor choices leading up to the race. These problems are not exclusive to elite athletes. We all have decisions to make throughout the day and they have a greater bearing on our life performance than we probably ever consider. Today's guest is a member of my SWAT tribe, Pete McCarthy. Pete is Head of Human Factors at Cathay Pacific airline and we're going to chat about how they utilise science around performance (both physiological and psychological)  to keep their pilots performing at their best. Working around jet lag, loss of sleep, well-being, and positive mental health as well as how to shift from a focus on negative performance to a positive environment. All of these elements affect how the flight crew makes decisions before and during a flight, especially under pressure. It's a fascinating conversation and I'm pretty sure you'll find some nuggets in here to help improve your performance. How a family tragedy klick started Pete's triathlon career Well-being and positive mental health  Sleep, fatigue, and fatigue risk management and how these impact decision making How to shift your focus from negative to positive performance when assessing training and racing performances Teamwork and communication How decision making and problem-solving will influence your triathlon performance To read more about Pete's daughter please check out this article  Cardiac risk in the young could impact all of us.

In today's episode I have a conversation with two of the greatest athletes in the world ... and honestly, two of the best men I know.   One of them dominated the world of 70.3 and Ironman with 3 Kona Ironman and two 70.3 world titles and arguably the greatest career in the middle distance Triathlon, with more wins at that distance than anyone else. Add to that his impressive short course wins at Minneapolis, Chicago and many others and you can see why I hold him in such awe.   The other has one of the greatest Olympic careers we're ever seen. Four Olympics, a Gold medal at the first ever Olympic Triathlon and Silver medal 8 years later. Known for his powerful sprint he also took the biggest prize money wins at the Hyvee and Life Time Minneapolis.   Personally, I watched from the very beginning as both of them started their careers as young men. Neither of them were remarkable to start but they chipped away to become icons of the sport that we all love.   I've spent thousands of hours training with them both. We've crashed, and we've had podiums on the world stage ... we've shared the highs and lows of sport and life together.   They've both been on the show separately, but this is a first for the three of us.   Show Sponsor AnyQuestion - https://anyquestion.com/crowiealexander   Support the show at https://www.patreon.com/user?u=26936856 "The Greg Bennett Show"    Timestamps 0.0 - Introduction to show and advertising 4:14 - What was unique about Balmoral Triathlon Club and why we all thought it was 'awesome'. 7:25 - A wonderful story of the three lads doing a team time trial around Centennial park in Sydney ... who's fault was it for the crash right on the 60 minute buzzer? 9:56 - From one crash ... to another. Simon recalls a spectacular crash in Geelong where Greg tried to (at the last minute) bunny-hop his bike over his fallen mate. Only to slice him open with his bike chain. 19:31 - In reflection how do three young men look back on their early triathlon careers ... some wonderful stories and memories. 23:40 - A lesson in how to speak 'athlete'. 24:27 - A subtle plug for our show sponsor - https://anyquestion.com/crowiealexander 26:26 - To an elite athlete ... there is no 'Plan B'. You are 'all-in'. The lads describe what this means in each of their eyes. Fascinating!!! 30:23 - The guys talk about some of the toughest times in their careers. Inspiring!!! 40:26 - After going through everything that you've been through, what would you tell your 17 year old self? 46:31 - The lads discuss how Triathlon has progressed, grown and become the elite sport it is today. 54:13 - So who is the GOAT? 01:00:23 - Some rapid fire questions (and answers) to wrap up this amazing conversation between 3 incredibly talented athletes.

This is proper sit down chat with Jodie and James Cunnama. 3 x World Triathlon Champion Jodie is her wonderful honest and wise self and is generous with her thoughts and feelings. The pair share why they feel like they failed when it comes to juggling family and professional triathlon, why money isn't important and why triathlon should enhance, not injure your life. You'll hear 03:30 How Jodie and James are settling back into life in the UK including their ordeal of having to quarantine for 10 days with 3 kids under 4. 12:50 How they first met - this depends on who you spoke to. James says they met in drug testing after a race in Singapore "I was more interested in Craig Alexander being in drug testing with me than I was in meeting Jodie," says James. I prefer the version that we met on a training camp in Leysin, says Jodie. 14:30 Jodie says that being on a training camp in Switzerland was 'a spectacular life reversal for me at that time.' Annie Emerson said to me 'I think you should message Brett Sutton. She pushed me in the right direction and I messaged Brett the following week and he told me to come in four weeks to Leysin. That was the beginning of a new chapter to be honest. 18:40 Did Brett Sutton set them up? 19:30 A really good insight into how professional triathlon has changed. 'It was kind of a temporary thing before you got a real career, but now the earning potential from sponsorships is so different. When I first started it was like a hobby, then it became something that you can make a living from, but now there is more pressure and it's almost like a job now rather than an adventure. It's great to see that it is fully professional. 22:30 "For me, the chapters don't really evolve around money. There was never any real thought of becoming rich from the sport." says Jodie. 24:00 "As long as we have enough to live, we just don't care about money," says James. It doesnt really bother me. I got more satisfaction from a career in sport than I ever would have thought, says Jodie. I think with more money comes more pressure, but I think there is a different level of reward. 26:30 How Jodie feels like she missed a swansong race. "Yes definitely because I didn't retire after having Jack because I thought I was going to come back after racing. I played with it for a little bit, but then we decided to have another child after that. But then it wasn't viable after that because we had twins and James had a professional triathlon career," says Jodie. I don't miss being a pro, but I do miss racing, says James. "I almost feel like I didn't enjoy it enough when I was doing it." 34:00 'I definitely thought I was going to race again,' says Jodie. But something changed after I had Jack and I just wasn't the priority any more and neither was my triathlon career.' Every minute that I was out there training, I was taking time away from my family and then it becomes a constant negotiation with yourself. And then it really becomes work and a chore all of the time and you lose some of the love for it. How can you justify spending 10 days away from your wife with no guaranteed pay cheque at the end. 38:30 I found it really hard because I thought 'why can't we make it work' when you look at someone like nicola Spirig who we are really good friends with. But our priorities changed and we couldn't justify spending time away from the kids for the sake of performance or money which means high performance triathlon is not an option. And that was a hard pill to swallow. 41:00 Jodie gives some thoughts about finding balance with family and training for age group athletes. 'My whole philosophy is that sport should enhance your life and if it is causing injury to your life, then you shouldn't be doing it.' Sometimes you have to be honest with yourself and if you're in a couple, it has to be a couples act. 50:15 Why Jodie says he biggest failure has been an inability to relax. ' I think I was all
