Chris McCormack

A living legend in Triathlon, Chris McCormack is considered one of the best all around Triathletes to ever compete and has now won a World Title in three different decades!

Australian Chris McCormack, known affectionately as ‘Macca’, began competing in Olympic Distance courses in 1996. The following year, he won both the Triathlon World Championships and the ITU World Cup Series! To date, no-one else has ever won both titles in a single year again. Never looking back, Macca continued to win and has become the worlds most winning Triathlete over the past decade. 

In 2002, always eager for a new challenge, Macca shifted his focus to longer distance racing with the Half and Full Ironman’s. McCormack won yet again, claiming victory in both his first Half Ironman as well as his first Ironman. He has since won 13 Ironman titles around the globe and on four occasions he has finished an Ironman under the mythical 8 hours, no two different courses -- a feat no other athlete has ever accomplished, In both 2007 and 2010 McCormack won the Ironman World Championship!


Setting his sites on yet another challenge, McCormack has once again shifted his efforts returning to short course and ITU racing, in hopes of making the 2012 Olympics.

Home From China

April 30, 2009

Well training has been pretty low key since China and I have settled rather nicely at home. I have taken some extra time off and really allowed my body to recover from a very hectic kick off to my 2009 season. It was a lot of travel but some beautiful racing. I have not forgotten to try and and put some photos up from China but trying to get photos that express what the day was like is tough. We have lots of social photos but no real key race day shots. I have put out a call to a few of the photographers from race day. When they arrive I will upload them.

For those of you interested make sure you pop past the MaccaX site and register your interest. You will be very happy that you did as we are set to launch in a few weeks and those who register first will go into the draw to win some great prizes. It only takes a a few seconds and the new site is going to be a huge asset to many people out there who are interested in the things we do and some of the key workouts we use. I am really excited about our site and after years of getting feedback from thousands of athletes and what they are looking for, I am stoked to have a team around me that has the know how to build a site that will meet this huge demand without the extensive costs of some of the other information or coaching platforms.

Hope you enjoy.

cheers,

Macca
