  • How did my first sprint triathlon of the year go? I headed to the Southam sprint triathlon to use it as a training race. Here's how it went...

      Thanks. Yeh jenna is a legend. Getting up at stupid o'clock on a cold Sunday morning to support me. Fair play to her although I had to try and wrestle my dry robe back when I had finished 🤣🤣

      Thank you. I didn't really think I'd ever get to 1k subs so it's not something I've really thought about and il be honest I'm not even sure what it means 🙈🤣 But hey its a nice milestone to tick of. Just enjoying making the content, bit hooked on RUclips now 👌

    Well, done Stu! I was cold just watching Jenna have the right idea of wearing the dry robe. Congrats on 1k subs, Stu well deserved mate. Way to crush it, Stu. Strong work. Hahaha so true Stu, 90% of triathlons could start at 10am. Congratulations on hitting 1k! Thank you. I didn't really think I'd ever get to 1k subs so it's not something I've really thought about and I'll be honest I'm not even sure what it means but hey, it’s a nice milestone to tick off. Just enjoy making the content, a bit hooked on RUclips now. Well done Stu, watching your vid made us thankful we migrated to Aus. Nice job Stu! Congrats on hitting 1K subs as well, that's awesome! I agree the hardest part about triathlon is getting my wife out of bed on race day. Great start to the season, well done on hitting 1k. Well done Stu, great job getting it done. Well done Stu looked like a cold one! Nice one Stu, you said what most people probably think about the early mornings. Congratulations on 1k.
    Stu couldn't believe it. One thousand subscribers on his RUclips channel. He never thought he would reach such a milestone, but here he was, basking in the glory of hitting 1k. As he read the comments on his latest video, he couldn't help but chuckle at some of the feedback from his viewers.
    "I was cold just watching Jenna, had the right idea wearing the dry robe," one comment read. Stu couldn't argue with that. Watching Jenna brave the chilly weather in her warm robe definitely made him shiver a bit.
    "Congrats on 1k subs, Stu well deserved mate. Way to crush it!" another comment exclaimed. Stu felt a warm glow of pride at the recognition of his hard work paying off.
    "Hahaha so true Stu, 90% of triathlons could start at 10 am," one viewer joked. Stu couldn't help but laugh. The early morning starts for triathlons were definitely not for the faint of heart.
    As he read through more comments, Stu felt a sense of gratitude and joy at the support from his viewers. It was nice to know that his content was resonating with people and that they appreciated the effort he put into creating it.
    "I didn't really think I'd ever get to 1k subs so it's not something I've really thought about and I'll be honest I'm not even sure what it means but hey, it’s a nice milestone to tick off," Stu thought, reflecting on his journey to reaching 1k subscribers. He was just grateful to be able to share his passion for triathlons with others.
    "Just enjoying making the content, a bit hooked on RUclips now," Stu mused. Creating videos had become a source of joy and fulfillment for him, and he was excited to see where this new adventure would take him.
    "Well done Stu, watching your vid made us thankful we migrated to Aus," another comment read. Stu chuckled at the thought of his videos inspiring someone to move to Australia. He never thought his content would have such an impact.
    "Nice job Stu! Congrats on hitting 1K subs as well, that's awesome!" another viewer chimed in. Stu felt a surge of pride at the praise and encouragement from his audience. It was moments like these that made all the hard work worth it.
    "I agree the hardest part about triathlon is getting my wife out of bed on race day," one viewer confessed. Stu couldn't help but laugh at the relatable struggle of early morning race starts and the difficulty of dragging a reluctant spouse out of bed.
    Great start to the season, well done on hitting 1k," another comment praised. Stu felt a sense of accomplishment at the recognition of his dedication to his channel and his passion for triathlons.
    "Well done Stu, great job getting it done. Well done Stu looked a cold one!" another viewer remarked. Stu smiled at the acknowledgment of the challenging conditions he often faced while training and competing in triathlons.
    "Nice one Stu, you said what most people probably think about the early mornings. Congratulations on 1k," the final comment read. Stu felt a swell of gratitude and happiness at the outpouring of support and positivity from his viewers.
    As Stu closed his laptop, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and satisfaction at how far he had come on his RUclips journey. Hitting 1k subscribers was just the beginning, and he was excited to continue creating content that inspired, entertained, and connected with his audience. With a renewed sense of purpose and passion, Stu looked forward to the adventures that lay ahead in the world of triathlons and RUclips. And who knows, maybe one day he would even hit 10k subscribers. The possibilities were endless, and Stu was ready to embrace them all with a smile on his face and a spring in his step. CONGRATS FROM OZ AND STAY THERE IN THE COLD AND JUST DO YOUR THING.

    Nice to get the first out of the way and well done. I take my hat off to you doing those pool triathlons. I think the people in the way would do my head in, but I guess if it's for an easy start to the season, then no bother!

    • @SwimBikeRunStu
      @SwimBikeRunStu  4 месяца назад +1

      Yeh always good to get one ticked of. The pool thing doesn't usually bother me, probably because when I do pool sprints I'm not to bothered about my time really so I don't mind sitting behind people. I lost about 20-30 seconds on the pool but over all it doesn't really affect my finish time.

    Just curious, is having the bike course on open roads that aren’t closed to traffic normal for local tri’s across the pond?

    • @SwimBikeRunStu
      @SwimBikeRunStu  4 месяца назад +1

      Its a good question. Yes most of our triathlons are on open roads. It's only ironman branded events in the UK that have closed roads. It's so expensive to close the roads here that it just makes entry fees crazy. It's sometimes annoying as you can get stuck in traffic like I did yesterday 🙈 Would be great if we could do them all on closed roads.
