MY FIRST UNBOUND 200 MILE GRAVEL RACE
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 июл 2022
- Following Ironman St. George, the Herbalife24 Triathlon Los Angeles, and then a two week gravel training camp completed in Patagonia, AZ, we headed to Emporia, Kansas to compete in my first Unbound 200 Gravel Race. It was an amazing race and I'll definitely be back in Emporia next year! We go over a bit of race week, the race itself, and how I think gravel and triathlon cross over.

There’s nothing more exciting than the morning of race day! I rode through Kansas on a cross country ride across America when I was 19 years old and it was amazing to get off on dirt roads and get off the highway away from cars! Congrats! You go, girl.
Love this girl ! She is so positiv, everytime laughing and she has such perfect teeth that her smile is amazing. Love her workouts from the first video on youtube with only a few hundred followers. I only found out very late who she is and what a big number in sports she is. All the best from Germany, Heather. Excuse my english ;-)
Thank you so much for your kind words + for watching and supporting our channel all the way from Germany 🤗🤗🤗🤗🙏🏼❤
The standing water in the field behind them around 5:35 was pretty telling of what was to come on Saturday ... really cool video!

Love this video and gravel looks fun! Just starting at tri at age 62 and met you at Herbalife. I'm already at the "fuck swimming " mindset!
Thank you so much Debby🤗🤗🙏🏼❤ it was great meeting you at Herbalife. Gravel is a blast and a great addition to triathlon training, so I would highly recommend it💪🏼 Fuck Swimming!!! 😂😂😂 Keep up t good work!
Cool, thanks! Gravel is so much fun. Another benefit is that it ameliorates bike handling a lot.
So much fun and so good for the bike skills 👌🏼👌🏼
Great work!
Thanks so much for watching and for supporting our channel, means so much to Wattie and I🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤
Jeez - my heart rate hits 125 just getting nervous about a ride :-)
Well done! Just noticing, about 3500' climbing first 120 miles, but then about 5000' last 80! That's not flat. That dang luck factor has to be next level agonizing and exciting. Trying to maximize the benefits of drafting on surfaces and conditions as that is something else. There must be such respect and confidence within the groups.
Thanks so much Gary🙏🏼🙏🏼 Yeah that course is fr sure not flat and the last 80 are a beast💪🏼 Gravel racing is next level fun, exciting.....so much to learn in terms of equipment, tactics, etc. Can't wait for the next one🤗🤗🤗🤗 Thanks so much for watching and for supporting our channel, means so much to Wattie and I🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
amazing job Heather!!
Do you think you would use power in gravel or not really?
you need to ride with Ian one time for a creme ride next time you are in NH/VT area
You rock 🤘🤘🚴🏼♂️
💥💥great video Heather and Wattie! Cheers from your “non-stalker” Canadian……🇨🇦
Thanks so much Chris 🤗🤗🤗🤗🙏🏼🙏🏼 Wattie and I really appreciate you watching and supporting our channel....thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤
Heather you are amazing!! 200miles... wow just wow... I just recently added one gravel tour per week to my training plan (30-60KM) and my road cycling has improved by a lot...it is sooooo much harder but sooo much more fun!!! are you riding tubeless btw?
Thank you so much Lisa🤗🤗🤗🙏🏼❤ Gravel riding will really help with that cycling strength keep up the great work! Yes, I ride tubeless both on road and off road.
OMG!!! I will be there 2023 I hope to see you!
AWESOME! 🤗🤗🙏🏼 I will see you there!!! Thanks so much for watching and for supporting our channel, means so much to Wattie and I🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Gravel racing is fun as you are learning! Just curious if you can leverage the strength aspects as a result of the gravel riding to help offset the swimming time loss when competing at Tri? This Fall/Winter you might be doing more double-Lemmon or Everest'ing of Lemmon attempts to build the strength to turn even bigger gears for a +mph advantage. Taking 5 seconds out of every mile at Kona results in just over nine minutes time advantage. (Question is how to do it without compromise to your run itself.)
Hi Mark🤗🤗🤗Gravel is so much fun, and lots of learning on the equipment side👌🏼For now I'm using gravel to build strength and to enjoy getting out on my bike and exploring new routes. In terms of swimming.....Fuck Swimming!😂😂😂in all seriousness I've spent so much time working on my swim over the years and have had super minimals gains+compromised my bike and run. That being said, I'm getting back to basics and making sure I'm cycling and running at my best while limiting my losses in the water. In terms of compromising the run with bike strength work.....its always a push and pull that we all try and manage. I've always gone for the tougher, hillier courses where it come down to bike and run strength instead of pure speed. Thanks so much for watching and supporting our channel🙏🏼
What is the song playing when y’all start riding?
It's called "Spirit f the World" artlist.io/song/75188/spirit-of-the-world
@@heatherjacksonracing thank you!
Keep up the work! Keep crushing it!
Love the videos while I’m Wahoo’n!
@@Welikeyoutube No problem! Thank you for watching and supporting our channel, means a lot to Wattie and I🙏🏼🙏🏼
You’re so bad ass
do you like gravel as much or more then tri
I'm loving gravel....so much to learn in terms of equipment, tactics, etc. Can't wait for the next one🤗🤗🤗🤗 I'm still a huge triathlon lover, I'm just enjoying the new challenges that gravel brings. Thanks so much for watching and for supporting our channel, means so much to Wattie and I🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@heatherjacksonracing great! I see you as the new gravel force to be reckoned with!
Fuck Swimming! -- HJ you are the best :)
