In the Beginning Podcast
Liam Flanagan and Courtney Atkinson
EP51 - RED BULL HAT RULES • TOMMY FURY T100 • TRAIL HEADPHONES • NOOSA BIKE 101
Episode Notes
Courtney & Liam rip into a spicy mix this week: why you can’t buy a Red Bull cap (you’ve gotta earn it), Tommy Fury’s T100 Riviera “finish” and the transparency chat, trail etiquette vs headphones (look up, say g’day), and first-bike tips for Noosa Tri newbies—when to hire, when to buy, and how you can literally buy speed.
We also hit Chase the Five race vibes, Dubai’s air-conned “Mall-athlon,” YouTube’s NFL takeover, Gold Coast Suns finals fever, Kira Parkrun’s sneaky distance, open-water Wednesdays at Tallebudgera, plus an Andy Buchanan injury update and a listener fact-check keeping us honest.
Aussie endurance stew, served hot.
