2024 IRONMAN PORT MACQUARIE
I AM AN IRONMAN!!!!
May 5th 2024 was the day it all came together. Set out on the morning for a 3.8k swim into a 180k bike and lastly a 42.2k run.
I am still in shock of completing it in an excellent time of 11 hours and 24 minutes. 1hour 4 min swim, 5 hours 54min bike and 4 hour 5 min run.
We really did it and I am so grateful to those closest to me that helped me achieved this goal.
I thought this was impossible 2 years ago but now I can say forever that I am an ironman.

RACE WEEK!!!!!

WTFFFFF tomorrow is the day I participate in a full ironman!!! This journey escalated way to fast, I remember the day I booked it last year thinking I have so much time and now we are here. It has been such an incredible challenge of dedication hard work and commitment to this race but I have loved every minute of it. It is going to be a great test tomorrow but it is not impossible. I will not ...

We are one week away it's actually unbelievable at this point. This week was some good quality training and testing, getting everything organised to prevent last minute running around stress. Swims are going good, still having some sort of stomach discomfort but we hope it will work out on race day. The bike is going good im feeling strong and hoping to go around 6 hours for the ride. The run c...

Emma and her dad compete in the Wollongong triathlon and do really well, rob even podiumed!!!! It was a great day out and so many people were there. We are coming to the end of the triathlon season now going into winter here in Sydney so it was good for her to get one last hit out. As for me, this week has been a great eye opener into recovery. On Saturday I had a huge 4 hour indoor bike sessio...

4 Hour Zwift Session - Vlog #36

This week was a big one, coming off the bat of 14 hours in 4 days it was a challenge to keep going. big swims and my biggest run since the marathon in September, 35k. Which I struggled more than I thought I would have so I think next week I still need to do high kilometres in the run. Im feeling more and more comfortable in the swim and enjoying the bike, I think I have my nutrition plan all so...
6 Hour Ride On My Birthday !!
Просмотров 1557 месяцев назад
This week has been massive, doing my longest ride ever, 6 hours and 150ks. Really attempting to nail the nutrition at this stage and it seems to be going okay but still need to work on things. Swam at Clovelly 4k which was really cool, got to see the blue groper. Then a 24k run on Easter Sunday, I forget how far these runs are and how much of a toll they can take on the body. Overall I am feeli...
A Triathlon Training Camp Weekend!!! - Vlog #34
Просмотров 657 месяцев назад
Recovery week started off miserable being rained on during a run club session. Found myself bonking on an indoor bike training session and then continually being tired and fatigued. I feel the body takes time to adjust to doing half the amount your used to, the weeks prior every session is hard and with intent then rest week comes and I feel so out of whack.... interesting thought. Anyway towar...
5 Hours On A Bike & Also Unable To Complete All Sessions!! - Vlog # 33

This week was not my week, started off feeling exhausted which continued throughout the week. Wednesdays big indoor sessions on the bike was a crucial session, 4 x 20min at race pace then a 10 min zone 4-5. It was extremely challenging. Friday morning swim saga caused me to almost get sick from gong into cold then hot then cold again but I think we have pushed through and are good. Saturday rid...

It's official, 8 weeks out from Ironman!!!! The long sessions have started with 4.5-hour rides and 2.5-hour runs. It is good I am loving it and enjoying being out with friends training. we did a 4k swim this week which is my longest swim distance ever but it went well and that's with no wetsuit so in the race, we should be good. The hardest session this week was by far Sunday run but it was als...
HUSKY REDEMPTION!!!!

5:06 total time!!!! What a weekend, husky has to be New South Wales best triathlon there is. Rob started off the weekend right having success in his race completing his 200m swim nonstop. Emma absolutely smashed her race as well which made me so happy. That was her longest distance cycle and did it with ease!! The best part of my race was I had no stomach pains!!! I ate the night before and the...

Wow, when it comes to these interval/threshold weeks I feel the effects big time. every day having a hard session is intense but that's how we get stronger. emma and I both became local legends at our park loop so that was a great start to the week and then, I swam my longest distance in a long time at 3.5k. it was good I broke it up into sectors so it was more achievable but how im going to sw...

Bit of a deload week here but it was needed, no efforts, all endurance-based sessions. The highlight was both the swim on Friday which felt good as well as both the ride and the amazing run on Sunday through the harbour city. Not long left now till redemption time at Husky, sessions are getting bigger and longer in preparation for Ironman wow it is getting closer and closer but we can do it. Qu...

Straight back into it, big week for me and an interesting one at that. started the week off with intervals and hard sessions and the end of the week catered to the distance. Friday's swim sessions was 3k and I seemed to get stomach pains on the bike after it, not entirely sure why but im starting to think it doesn't have anything to do with eating before..... Sunday's tri simulation was good an...

Talk about one of the most up-and-down week of triathlon I've had. Initially buying that bike I was so excited and it has now been a week of saddle dilemmas. BUT we figured it out just in time and got the right saddle that is comfy and I have tested it. As Spanian would say REDEEMED!! other than that issue this week was the first hard week back into training since the Christmas break and im fee...

Awesome job mate! You smashed it
Great job mate!
Awesome Luca! Gonna miss watching your vlogs, so you better sign up for your next epic event, congratulations again🎉
Thanks Alba. Going to take a little brake from training and filming but I’ll be back bigger and better. Road to Sydney marathon 2.0 starts soon
Congratulations. You smashed it. What a journey 💪
Thanks Stu, hope you enjoyed the videos and hope your doing well
Be proud mate. You’ll forever be an Ironman. I just did my 13th and I still get emotional crossing the finish line. It’s a lot of sacrifice, discipline and dedication. Well done mate.
Thanks Scott, it’s an emotional day and I loved it all. I can not wait to do another one. How did your day turn out ?
@@suffa011 it’s amazing mate!, enjoy the high of it. I had a dream day thanks for asking mate. I won the 35-39 AG and was 8th amateur overall. FYI I came 30th in the age group in my first IM too!
@@scottconnolly9356 wow 8th amateur and won age group is crazy!! Congratulations, hopefully I’m on the same trajectory as you haha big things coming 😂
YOU DID IT 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
You are amazing! Loved following your journey.
You did it brother, incredible time but more importantly, congrats on an epic training schedule and on documenting it all!
Thanks Felix, looking back on all the videos created has made it all worth it!
Best of luck Luca! I’ll be following your progress! Yay!!
Good luck out there tomorrow mate. I’ll give you a shout on course somehow
Thanks Scott, Goodluck to you aswell. 👍👍👍
Good luck Luca! 🎉
Thanks Alba
Just found your channel mate. Good luck for Sunday. See you up there.
Hope your enjoying the vids, are you racing port aswell? Let’s hope the rain stays away
@@suffa011 yeah I’m racing my 13th IM and 7th at Port Mac. It’s such a great experience. I think you hit the nail on the head in your video - you can’t control the weather but you can control your attitude - it’ll be what it’ll be with the weather!
@@scottconnolly9356 wow 13 ironman that is incredible!!!! wish you all the best for race day, Hopefully you get a PB
Good luck for race day. Go smash it 💪👊
Thanks Stu!!
Wow what an effort!! 👏👏Praying for no rain🙏🙏
When the kitchen's hot, you cook. Keen for this mate!!
If I can even go close to your time I’ll be happy
Smashed it. Looks like a great event 👌
Hey Luca! I’ve seen you use that Milwaukee towel in a few of your vlogs and it looks unreal!! Just wondering how you got your hands on one?? Loving the content by the way, you’re going to smash Port Macquarie!!
Hi Alex thanks so much for the support. Yeah that Milwaukee towel is the perfect transition and training towel as it’s microfibre and a great size! It’s also not for sale it was given to me by a friend unfortunately! Are you training for anything yourself?
Strong work! What are you training for?
Ironman Port Macquarie , the race is less than a month away 🫣🫣
Keep it going !!!!
Happy birthday 🎉
Thanks stu!! Hope all is well 🤙🏻
Happy Birthday 🎉
@@emmabiazzo135 schemmmmmmm
Hi Luca! I enjoyed the video. Are you training for something in particular? Seems like a triathalon... I am currently really trying to build my fitness on the bike.
Hey yeah thanks for watching, I’m currently training for Ironman port Macquarie! Bike fitness is hard and takes a long time but it’ll come in time 👌
He’s clearly training for Darts tournament mate……🙃
P r o m o S M
Bring on the panino 👏🏻
Good stuff Luca 👏
Thanks bro
Awesome result Luca. Had you raced the day before you would’ve totally cracked sub 5. Well done
Thanks Alba 🤙🏻
Inspirational 🙌🏻 definition of being consistent daily and showing up, and it all came to fruition on race day! You should be very proud of yourself ❤️❤️
And you should be so proud of yourself to!! Next is to get you on the podium at hawks nest !!
We all have those weeks sir - it’s our actions in exactly those moments of low motivation that make the difference! Bossing it mate
Champion
41 degrees 😮 Wow thats hot 🙈
It has been so hot this summer down under !!
You can't beat new bike day. Looks fast 👌
Merry Xmas…. great work Luca
Great vlog! Bring back the ice baths!!
More great training, and have a great xmas 👌
Its all part of the fun. Training around work. I actually live about 10 minutes away from where the peaky blinders were originally from.
Okay that is awesome haha!! You should do a video that is like on the bike showing the different spots where peaky blinders events happened !!! Loving your content btw mate keep it up 👍
Congrats, great racing 👌
Thank you! 👍
Awesome guys! Well done!
Thanks Alba 👍
Looks like you have some great places to train 👌
its lovely, was an experience training in the Olympic pool!!
I think you may hyperventilate when you swim faster, that is you don’t totally exhale before you inhale. Therefore just swim slower. Just my opinion. Good luck
That sounds possible, hence when I did swim slower it didn’t happen.. like I said I’m happy to swim slower if it means no pain haha!!!
You guys are smashing it! Well done!
Huge achievement massive congrats mate!
Thanks bro
You did well… alas, my Sydney Marathon ended at the medical tent at 31k with blood pressure of 60, an IV drip and being strapped to an EKG… fortunately, I recovered over 90 minutes in the tent, and I live to fight another day.
Congrats!! I’m 51 and just ran Berlin - it was my 4th marathon. U should definitely do Berlin next year🏃🏽♀️🙏🏽
You are an inspiration, congrats on doing berlin and I will 100% be taking my marathons worldwide it’s a lot easier logistically than triathlon haha
legend
Live to inspire
The right turn out of Centennial Park almost killed me too!!! I felt like death at that point lol. Well done - we did it!
Hahaha I’m glad I’m not the only one who suffered at that centennial park exit!! Congrats on finishing !!
@@suffa011 and here I am signing up for 2024 with super early bird pricing. 😂💀
Well done Luca 👍👍, the profile of the Sydney Marathon has a harder profile than Boston😁
Thanks mate, yeah it was harder on the downhills then the uphills I found as my quads where so close to cramping the last bit
Awesome work Luca!
Thanks Alba
believe
You’re my inspiration🔥🔥
Well done Luca!
Well done on getting through the week
