Hey Team! Well done to all over the weekend and a special shout out to Doug Vargo completing Ironman Texas! Huge result. I'd like to open the batting for the call this week. Please drop in any questions below and we will cover off throughout the call. With a few big events starting to drop we can talk a bit through race prep for events but I would be keen to have a few more areas to explore. See you all Wednesday. Remember daylight savings is over so AEST is 6pm! See you there. Greg

Morning All! Hope everyone’s had a solid start to the week! 👋 With quite a few new athletes joining us over the last few weeks, I thought it would be really helpful to clear up all the confusing acronyms and abbreviations you see on TrainingPeaks (TP). You know the ones — TSS, CTL, ATL, TSB, IF, VI, FTP, rTSS… it can feel like learning a new language! Six years ago, Tim and I recorded a podcast where we break down all these metrics in simple, easy-to-understand terms and — most importantly — explain how they actually relate to your training and performance. If you’re new (or even if you’ve been around a while and still get a bit lost), I highly recommend giving it a listen. It’s one of the most practical episodes we’ve ever done. 🎧 Podcast link here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6nvJbVex9T26HPnURr0BWV I’m always happy to jump on a quick call to explain anything in more detail if something still doesn’t click — just shoot me a message and we’ll sort it out. Let me know if you found it helpful once you’ve had a listen! Enjoy the rest of your week and keep crushing it! Greg

Welcome to Greggo's Tri Chat! 🚀🏊‍♂️🚴‍♂️🏃‍♂️ Hi everyone, and a huge welcome to the group! I'm Greg McDermott, your coach with Koa Sports, and I'm thrilled you've joined us here on Skool. This community is all about connecting our athletes—whether you're a beginner building your first tri, chasing age-group podiums, qualifying for Worlds, or simply loving the swim-bike-run lifestyle.

A few quick things to get started: - INTRODUCE YOURSELF in the comments below or in the "New Members" thread—tell us your name, where you're based, your main goals for 2026, and what you're most excited (or nervous) about right now. Let's get to know each other! - Jump into discussions, post your training logs, race reports, or questions—your input drives this place! - I am piloting this as part of your coaching subscription over the next few months, so please share your feedback, ideas, and what you'd love to see here. We're building this together as a supportive tribe, and I can't wait to see the energy, breakthroughs, and friendships that come from it. You've got big goals ahead—let's smash them as a team. Drop a quick intro or wave hello below. Looking forward to chatting! Greggo Again, WELCOME to the team
