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.

Europe is going great....

June 2, 2009

Well Europe is going great and my racing has kicked off well. After leaving USA I flew in late to to Vienna and had a great race at the Ironman 70.3 race in St Polten Austria. I am starting to find some solid form and my run has really come along well. I worked early season on developing my bike strength and now as my race weight has come down my run has really picked up some intensity. It is great. I put together a really solid 71 minute run on a tough course after a very hard bike ride. The run was superb and I was able to outrun one of the best runners in the sport in Marino Voenhaker for the title. It was a great race.

I have now set up my base in the small town of Niederbronn Les Bain which is in the Alsace region of France, about 1 hour drive south of luxembourg and 2 hours west of Frankfurt. It is a great spot for training and I spent a little time here last year so am familiar with the region. I am preparing for Ironman Germany in 5 weeks time and this central position in Europe as a training base gives me access to a wide variety of events and quick travel to Frankfurt for the big race.

Anyway I have uploaded a video we put together of our arrival and race in Austria. I am pretty isolated here but hope to have some photos and stuff to upload of this training camp in a few days.

Safe Training and enjoy,
