Episode 243: Kona Series- Craig Alexander

🎧 KONA DAILY POD – DAY 2 | PRESENTED BY TRAININGPEAKS

Welcome back to The Kona Daily Pod, your inside look at the Ironman World Championship 2025 with the Pro Tri News crew — brought to you by TrainingPeaks, the number one training app in the world.

Today, hosts Talbot Cox, Mark Matthews, Matt Lieto, and Kaiden Lieto sit down with three-time Ironman World Champion Craig "Crowie" Alexander to talk everything bike course and race strategy in Kona.

Craig shares how the Hawi winds, nutrition timing, and power management define the race — and why today’s generation of pros ride smarter than ever. The crew also dives into equipment choices, aero setups, and how data tools like TrainingPeaks have changed the way athletes build their race plans.

💬 Topics in this episode:
– Craig Alexander’s insights on the Kona bike course and modern race tactics
– Handling the crosswinds and heat through the Queen K
– Balancing power output and fueling strategy
– Evolution of bike technology and aero efficiency
– How TrainingPeaks transformed race preparation and data analysis
– Predictions for the fastest bike splits in 2025

These are short daily pods raw, real, and straight from the island. No scripted interviews, no remote setups… just triathlon fans who are actually here in Kona, bringing you the latest every day of race week.
