Amazing day of racing, the kids loved the opportunity of racing you guys, thanks for being great sports and only 53 seconds separating you. Watch out next year!!!!
If Kat is allowed to rack up countless Strava QOMs against us mortals, it only seems fair that Mark be allowed to show up and dominate at youth triathlon events 😄. Kidding aside, this seemed like a great event format that I'd love to try someday!
yeah, why is all triathlon gear built for anorexomorphs? I got a HUUB suit as worn by Ali Brownlee...but it wasn't designed for mesomorphs. Yeah, I defo look fat in it, and my arms barely fit, like it was built for weedy cyclist arms!
Haha mate it’s a medium suit as that’s all I have and I’m now too big for it. And the excess wait is all beers and pizza. So no of course I’m not fat but I am too fat for that specific suit
I've been trying to get a family team together for a relay in a few weeks however our anchor has just broken her foot so unlikely to be ready, looks so much fun though!! Definitely want to try one at some point.
That was so cool, really enjoyable to watch. I feel like I was missing professional commentary, live leader boards, and drone footage of the full race. Maybe next time 😉.
This video was so much fun to watch 😂 . I’m looking forward my first triathlon of the year at the end of this month, Olympic distance. But this format seems so much fun, if you have buddies… 😅
I don’t know how these competitions work but do you need to have the kit to compete, like clipless pedals and shoes? Since they don’t sprint on the bikes, it feels like they are losing quite a lot of time to switch gear while they would be just as efficient with regular running shoes and pedals if they don’t sprint
Another great video, and looks like a lot of fun! But if my team came in 2nd or 4th, I’d be pretty upset. What do people think about separate or no medals for pros / ex-pros? I feel bad for the kids…
Only James is an Ex pro. I’m an age grouper that hasn’t raced in two years. Steph has never been a pro and nor has Heather. And as an Ex pro James wasn’t even the fastest soooo naaaa. Also the team in second seemed really happy
Argh, I was trying to put a team together for this event, but couldn't get enough people so close to BUCS! I will choose to believe that you got lucky, this time 😅
I'd like a whole series of Mark bringing epic kit to amateur events, legend.

For sure!
Thanks for coming to our event. Great video! Worth noting that all the kids came back for the individual #TorbayTriathlon the following morning!
Oh wow!
Y'all really needed to interview the kids that you beat, if for no other reason than a consolation prize.
You need mark on more often, he was great!
Right!
@@gtn Yeah. Good to see Matt there.

Bahahaha amazing
15:20 🤣🤣Laughed so hard. Thanks, GTN.
great to see you all having fun! bringing it back to what tri is all about :)
Between the 10 mile Broad Street Run I ran today in Philadelphia, and now this video, I’m getting excited for triathlon season!
Greater reminder of the fun of doing event’s with mates. Lots of laughter and excuses
Love this format hopefully will encourage more people in the sport
I think it will - seems fun, and perhaps an easier distance to get into the sport.
Looks like a lot of fun! And my compliments for the editing of this video, helped me get my motivation back!
Glad to hear it!
Loved the content, gives me inspiration for my Sprint Triathlon tomorrow.
Have fun!
"Too fat for the suit"??? Dude, y'all ain't fat.

I've done a mixed relay at a local race, it was really really fun.
Great video and nice to see a local event being supported.

This was a fun video to watch! We definitely need more Matthews content 😄
Fun to watch!
Glad you think so!
Awesome format. Awesome performance. 👍🙏

Next time 🤔
Wow! This was amazing 👍

Good luck!!
Great video thanks. How come only 1 of you had the shoes clipped on the bike in advance?
Heather had to bring up the run splits haha I love it! @16:25 Sorry James!
We need more of Mark on the channel. Legend!
Awesome video guys. Would love to see you do more local races like this.
You also need Mark on more often! Great laugh 😅
🙌
Loved having guests on GTN! Would have been great to see more of the splits at the end too!
We enjoyed their company too! We'll keep that in mind for next time :)
Mark’s Cervelo looks great. What model/year is it ?
It’s the P5 Disc I think maybe 2019.
This looks so fun! I want to do one of these events!! Being a former collegiate sprinter,
I love shorter faster races

This looks so fun, I wish we had the format here in Singapore! Unfortunately our tiny little red dot might be waiting a while ;-)
Brilliant Video...loved it, chasing the kids down!
Glad you enjoyed it - thanks !
Great stuff. Loved this video, well done to GTN and those amazing 12 year olds!
Thanks so much!
That was fantastic!
Oh My God, that was hilarious
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Triathlon relay is perhaps the best format of the sport to watch. The Olympic one was edge of your seat watching from start to finish.

@@markmm29 Good point. I (mistakenly) consider all of you pros, probably because you’’re so much faster than I could ever dream of.
Don't forget the 12 year old passed James in the pool. :)
Imagine being the 4th team 🤣 like you know you would have made podium if these weren't there lol
Looks like so much fun!! Well done GTN!!! I’d love to know what Canyon bike Steph was on-looks very similar to the road bike I have my eye on atm!
It was a lot of fun! My bike is the Canyon Ultimate CF SL WMN 🙂
@@stephclutterbuck Thankyou!!!
I just love Heathers running style :D
That elastic trick is genius
How did they let you in to the teenage race?
the kids are adorable
Love the cool cool video
Thanks!
Argh, I was trying to put a team together for this event, but couldn't get enough people so close to BUCS! I will choose to believe that you got lucky, this time 😅
If the order that competitors went as part of the tactics it could be better so b g b g could b b g g or g b b g
“You don’t know GTN at all…” hahahahaha
Excelente
I know one of the boys
13:07 she didn't crash ?
GTN Shows no mercy to 12 year olds!
