    Lucy, you have us crying out of second-hand pride. What an absolute legend you are - to say you inspire us doesn’t cover it. And Reece, what a dream of a partner and teammate. You both inspire us to be the best versions of ourselves. From the bottom of my heart, _congratulations_.

  • @ST-wo3uw
    @ST-wo3uw 8 месяцев назад +73

    Lucy, your first comment of your speech - "we did it" - acknowledging all women competing was absolute class and grace. You are a champion through and through. 💕

      I mean that’s not what she meant but why not take the socialist view 😂

    • @Emma-Maze
      @Emma-Maze 7 месяцев назад

      It's true that she much more likely meant her team and loved ones with this particular phrase, but it's also evident she has a lot of mutual appreciation and respect for the other ladies competing Ironman, so it's not terribly far-fetched and also has very little to do with your "socialism" strawman @@adamsosa 🤡 "Yesterday was a special day for women in our sport, it was a day where women were center stage. I looked around before the start and I was truly inspired by each and every one of you ladies. (...) each and every one of you has my deepest respect"

      Precisely. So happy to see Lucy get the win! Well deserved, and all the more meaningful considering what she had to overcome (physically and mentally) to get there.

    I am a legacy athlete who competed this year and I saw Lucy on the way back when I was starting the bike. I screamed my lungs out cheering her even when I knew she probably could not hear me because of the aero helmet. I was honestly happy for her and just being racing in the same race it feel unreal. Congratulations Lucy you earned this win!

  • @hudsonmbg
    @hudsonmbg 8 месяцев назад +9

    Lucy, I have followed you for more than 4 years in this sport - yes, I am a Ryf fan...but I studied your journey throughout...the 4 time 2nd place finishes, the frustrations with injuries and the numerous disappointments. I never cry but I almost very nearly came to tears for you when you crossed the finish line in first position! I know you don't need any one's approval, but know that I am very proud of what your represent. Your character and tenacity is something that is now driving me to achieve a lot more than I thought is possible!

  • @TheBritishActingCoach

    @noone-ld7pt 8 месяцев назад +6

    I've never seen or heard of a more deserving world champion in any sport! The mental perseverance required to keep working and keep believing after all those heartbreaking second places is such an insane feat! You're such an inspiration to us all!

  • @notmyrealname6272
    @notmyrealname6272 8 месяцев назад +14

    Cried like a baby watching you win Lucy. Watched every second of the race. I remember when you were on crutches saying to put every moment of frustration as a metaphorical penny into a jar to be drawn on later as motivation. It really feels like all that pain helped you on that run. Inner reserves that might not have been there without the setbacks. Everything seemed so difficult at that stage but from ‘biro in the eye-gate’ to ultimate fulfilment, glory and happiness. Utterly inspired by you and delighted for you. ❤🎉🎉 Ps the X factor is clearly the dogs (speaking as a dog lover haha)
    Well done. 🎉

    At midnight I actually turned of the computer to go to bed and watch in the morning the run part but this time I said this is looking good and switched back on and made the right choice . So happy Lucy did it great race from all the competitors.
    Probably the best covered race from Hawaii in a long time cameras focusing not just the front runners made it more entertaining
