    Been really enjoying the Physical Performance podcasts
    My background is in running: racing in the 70s and coaching from then on until last season.
    I became the running coach of surf ironman Guy Andrews from his age 15 to 22 – and in that time there were a few aquathon / biathlons where the (usually small) field included Brad Beven. So I followed Brad right through the 90s and really felt for him missing out on Sydney 2000.
    Hence I was drawn to your Brad Bevan podcast for my first listen.
    Next up it was Chris McCormack … another who missed out on Sydney 2000
    Both excellent programs
    So, to my mind, a good followup podcast to these two would be Emma Carney – yet another triathlete, like Brad, virtually unbeaten through the 90s but missing out on Sydney 2000.
    I can well image her story would be very interesting as she seemed to be a complex personality
    BTW: I also enjoyed your Maddie Hills podcast … she’s such a talent

      Hi Trev,

      Thanks very much for your message.

      That’s great re Brad and Guy.

      I agree Emma would be interesting indeed!

      Did you enjoy Macca’s?

      Regards Brad Beer
