Yesssssssss!!!!! Me & Liz on the spectating duties 💪🏾
Ps. It’s awful & I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy (& that’s the half)
Pss. Can’t wait to see a decent RUclips video on this event…
Good luck Dan. Having my own issues still with my ankle but still get motivation from your channel. Hopefully meet you again at a Wales whilst we both qualify for Nice/Hawaii
Great news Dan! I’m doing the half so I’ll see you there 🙏🙏
Nice one, see you there! Fingers crossed for some good weather for us :D
You’ll be fine. I did the brutal half a couple of years back as a 50 year old biff. Top tips: lake is cool but not extreme; the ride has plenty of climbs and you’ll do well to have a lightweight road bike with aero bars for comfort and to give your core a break before the run. Use a well-ventilated helmet as the climbs are brutal and slow with very fast descents (I took a tear drop helmet and regretted it); you’ll need good brakes for the descent from pen-y-pas (rim brakes are suitable, but must be in good shape); your body will burn through salt on the run so be equipped for that; expect jelly legs on the descent (I fell); the 3 laps of the lake before the climb is also very hilly so expect fatigue and prepare an extreme nutrition plan; train for hills then train some more!
@@SiGoodchild1 thanks very much, appreciate it. I’m just building a disc brake road bike with clip on bars, I’m planning to use that for this event. Good shout re helmet, I wasn’t sure what to go for
Great video mate. I've also been ill most of the year with a viral infection and now a throat infection, so i know exactly how you feel! It SUCKS!! Look forward to your next video 👍
Ahhh blimey, sorry to hear it, hope you can get out the other side of that asap! Thanks very much :)
@@TriathlonDan thank you mate. That's the plan, especially with Ironman Lanzarote next year! 🙏
Great news Dan and can’t wait to follow your progress!! 😊
Thanks very much :) appreciate it!
Great honest update Dan, all the best for your event!
Cheers dude, hope you’re well 👍
You do amazing job making content for us to view and relate to. I’m sure you’re going to smash your next challenge with the strong mental attitude that you give and come across on the camera. Life can be hard but with our family and friends around us we can do anything (well that’s what I’m hopping for come IM Wales) looking forward to your training vids. Keep doing what you do. You got this 👍🏻 🏊♂️ 🚴♂️🏃♂️ nice one
Thanks very much, really appreciate that :)
I liked this format mate! Good vid
Epic! Look forward to following the journey. I did the Action Medical Research Chase the Sun event in the Lake District a couple of years ago, we finished with a hike up Skiddaw after a ride and canoe. My biggest takeaway from that is plenty of big hills training on foot - those mountains are unrelenting.
Thank very much :) wow that sounds tough! Definitely need to get out on some hills :) cheers!
Well done Dan. Always enjoy watching your channel so will be following your progress and cheering you on from afar.
Thanks very much :)
@@TriathlonDan Know what you mean re persistent injuries though. You've got this.
To be honest I only run & ride. I just enjoy watching you do general things in life like talking to Liz and seeing cats. Good luck in the event.
I appreciate that! :)
Awesome Dan!!! Excited for you!
Cheers!
Great to see you healthy again 💪
I dunno about healthy but its great to be injury free haha :D cheers mate!
Good update, best of luck
Thanks very much, I’ll need it 🤣
Good luck dan go smash it 💪
Best of luck Dan 😊
Thanks :)
I’m in North Wales Dan! I’ll check my calendar and come and spectate if I’m free 👍🏼 if you fancy a recce up snowdon I love that mountain… I highly recommend the ROC series if you decide you like a whole lotta up lol cracking news 🎉🎉
Nice one! I'm not sure I'll love the mountain :D. Cheers
Bummer was hoping to see you in North America
Good luck at Brutal Events.
I'd love to come "over the pond" next year, so fingers crossed :D cheers!
Nice one mate. I'm looking forward to the content. 👍
It can't be much harder than Holkham Gravel can it......🤣🤣🤣
Thanks very much Paul, I'm going to give both aspects everything I've got! Hahaha yes I guess they're about the same ;)
Good luck mate
Thanks Paul!
Did the half a few years back. Cold lake, TT bike with big gears, the run is awesome.
You ought to practice some mountain runs first.
Nice one, hope it's not too cold this time :D I'll be getting some specific training in, but above all I just need to get fitter in general, everything is easier if you're in good shape :)
Great news. Was a bucket list event for me. Did the half last year. Wanted the full thus year but family and life got in the way. The event and the Brutal events company put on something really special. You wont be disappointed and its by far the hardest event ive done. It tests you physically and mentally and tactically. The motto, all it takes is all youve got, sums it up and it really does live up to it. Have a great day out, i hope the weather is kinder than last year, everyone melted, cant wait to follow. 💪☠️
Good luck!
Cheers!
Lovely lighting
Hahaha Chris says thanks 🤣 I was worried about sunburn tbh
I’m sure I can see it’s faded parts of upholstery on the seat 🎣

Might need to borrow a tent if I'm out there long enough :D
