If your fuel stop hauls don't look like the shop of a toddler/kid who was sent in with $20 unsupervised, you're doing it wrong. A+++ on the snacks. Great adventure and challenge guys, well done! Will be rewatching this one for sure 🤩
Second but I actually got better with the advice from channel epmanualphysicaltherapy. Also Conor Harris channel gives good advice. Often knees get help from glute activation and proper foot arch and healthy (non over) pronation.
Great vid! That's me at 11:34, pink Tri suit 😁. Apologies to Mark again for almost wiping him out just after that clip. You don't happen to have that footage do you??
What a crazy challenge!!! 😁 With the ever increasing prices of accommodation and transportation we may all have to do that at one point 😂 Thumbs up 👍. BTW I would have liked to see more of the Coros Dura in action.
I love this type of thing, it actually looks like a lot of (type 2) fun and a great adventure. Not sure I'd do 2 in a weekend but this sounds like my kinda jam.
Great challenge! I've bike toured to triathlons plenty of times. Never 2 in the same weekend though. I'll look for an occasion next year. I use a Thule clip-on / clip-off rack. Can then carry all kit in panniers. Solid handling. Nothing on my body. And have a bag free bike for the race. Also. It's great to see the channel promote racing short and local. Instead of just the big, long-course brands. More videos like this please!
Hilarious - _really_ well done both!! I was seriously worried I'd missed you at Dorney but it didn't rain during my race so I must have been at one of the other Dorney tris. Absolute kudos though, it looked like the ultimate weekend 😂
I hate to say this and apologise James. To watch this video was great. And to show James suffering (almost like gcn make Hank suffer) is more relatable than when epic rides/courses show the presenters not troubling at all. Hope that made sense. This video shown that everyone had bad moments and can get through it. Great video
I like this video (too🙂) and it is really tickling to do something similar . Most of the triathlon competitions in Sweden are at least 700-800 km away from me. A little bit longer to bike. 🤔 Continue do those events it’s fun to see you doing them. Marie-Louise
There's nothing wrong about bikepacking on a Speedmax. I did a serious amount of "minimalistic" bikepacking on my Felt Ai. Absolutely fine as long as you feel comfy on your bike. And really fun!
Last year I cycled 140km on a gravel bike to camp then did a 4km swim then do the 55km cycle afterwards to get the train home. It was HARD! So I definitely can understand how tough this would have been. Fair play boys! Mark I hope you had your good filthy burger 😅
thanks for sharing, esp James setup. im planning for a bike trip to japan (coastal roads) , and thinking to bring my tri bike instead. bike will carry only clothes n trail run gears(shoe+poles) as i plan to do town stopovers (and stay in towns for few days for then cycling n running, n onsens) before moving to next town. Hey james, when the speedmax got fully loaded and heavy, does it make it hard to handle?
That claim on the bike computers reminds me of the claim that you never need to charge the garmin solar devices. I had my garmin instinct for 9 month now, I am outside every day and have to charge the thing every two weeks, with no significant difference between now and winter.
Dc rainmaker has done a good honest review. Since his video they have actually updated a lot of the niggles he experienced. Personally I am really enjoying it
Hey, I've just noticed on some of the older videos that the websites for training plans don't work and was just wondering if there's any trouble with the website or it's because you took down the training plans.
It’s essentially the Garmin mounting system. The canyon Speedmax has a mount between the arms on the bars. You can just turn the internal mount for Garmin or wahoo
The DURA uses a pretty standard quarter-turn mounting system, which is compatible with a lot of existing mounts meaning it will fit on bespoke setups, third-party mounts or our own DURA mount!
Anyone know what aero bar Mark is using? I have a Canyon Ultimate and have been researching for a while now but unfortunately there aren’t many about it.
@@markthrelfall3577 Hey Mark, did you ask for special Canyon CP0018 adaptor, or was it just the standard stem mount ? I know they do have a special Canyon version, but it's really expensive. Thank you so much for your input and keep on those videos, we all love them !
It is how I started, really good way to transition into triathlon if OWS makes you nervous, also allows for events earlier in the year, typically April. Usually limited to sprint events as too much pool time used otherwise. Also junior events are usually a pool swim.
They’re a partner of the channel, like many of the brands we work with, allowing us to create free videos. It was a mere mention as we were excited to see what the solar charging was all about, and we were genuinely impressed
Thanks for the feedback. over the past month, we have taken all of this feedback onboard and worked internally on addressing these items to ensure we continue to deliver on our vision: To create products for athletes that make training more straightforward without problems. We recently released a new software update with many fixes, and have more currently in progress to continue meeting the ever-changing demands of athletes globally. That being said, we respect your perspective and value it. We are driving forward to ideally showcase to you and others that our product doesn't stop at launch, but rather improves over time. We know it will be a long road ahead, but hopefully in the months to come as more people receive their product, you'll see these changes. This type of feedback is helpful in today's current state with technology always changing, so truly thank you. As with all of our products, development never stops and we look forward to the path that the DURA is on.
Would you try a self-sufficient triathlon adventure like this? Why or why not?
Let us know in the comments 💬
Would be fun. A shame the bikamper tent is discontinued.
Good form guys. I do randoneuring adventures in a similar way. It's a fun, cheap weekend of adventure.

😂
Tell James to look into Knees over toes program for his knee issues. That program had me from not been able to run to running pain free
Second but I actually got better with the advice from channel epmanualphysicaltherapy. Also Conor Harris channel gives good advice. Often knees get help from glute activation and proper foot arch and healthy (non over) pronation.

You don't happen to have that footage do you??
This is the kind of content that proves RUclips can compete and exceed against traditional TV. Love it, well done and thanks for making it.
I was always wondering, why there is not more traveling by bike to those events ... love it! Maybe this could be an app format - group rides to races!
What a crazy challenge!!! 😁 With the ever increasing prices of accommodation and transportation we may all have to do that at one point 😂 Thumbs up 👍. BTW I would have liked to see more of the Coros Dura in action.
Thanks. There will be lots more content with the Dura in action over the coming months 😊

Mark is truly super human. Not sure many videos there are of him smiling out the front whilst whoever is with him struggles
Looks like a fun albeit crazy weekend.
Your emergency feed stop is where I live!! You could have come in for a cuppa. Well done on the challenge, love watching these.
Hilarious - _really_ well done both!! I was seriously worried I'd missed you at Dorney but it didn't rain during my race so I must have been at one of the other Dorney tris. Absolute kudos though, it looked like the ultimate weekend 😂
Nice Guys! Well done!
Great work! Fun Video!
I'm sure Mark actually slept better than currently at home! No baby to keep you strong at night!? 😂😬🤪
Thanks Mark and James for putting yourselves through so much suffering for us. It was quite entertaining to watch
Fantastic effort guys! But which one of you fancies trying to ride up Alpe d’huez on a city bike like Hank did on GCN? 😂
Ooh, a handicapped Tri equivalent...
Swim in a tracksuit, Brompton bike leg, army boots run?
I hate to say this and apologise James.
To watch this video was great. And to show James suffering (almost like gcn make Hank suffer) is more relatable than when epic rides/courses show the presenters not troubling at all.

This video shown that everyone had bad moments and can get through it.
Great video
Loved this challenge! Watching it for the second time now …
Way to CRUSH this challenge! Well done James and Mark!
Now this is what I call a lifestyle of glory
I like this video (too🙂) and it is really tickling to do something similar . Most of the triathlon competitions in Sweden are at least 700-800 km away from me.
A little bit longer to bike. 🤔
Continue do those events it’s fun to see you doing them.

Inspirational 🔥 Well done fellas! Tell Heather we miss her 🤱🏼

I LOVE this kind of content! ❤
You two are fun to watch.
Mark doesnt look great first thing in the mornings... lol. Good work lads, looks fun!
A new bike category is born! The tt-gravel-bike 💭
Last year I cycled 140km on a gravel bike to camp then did a 4km swim then do the 55km cycle afterwards to get the train home. It was HARD! So I definitely can understand how tough this would have been. Fair play boys! Mark I hope you had your good filthy burger 😅
Fantastic adventure guys!
Would love to do something like this which is out of my comfort zone, but with someone who is a strong navigator and camper. Thank you for the video!
Warm by British summer standards! It’s raining. 🤣🤣
thanks for sharing, esp James setup.
im planning for a bike trip to japan (coastal roads) , and thinking to bring my tri bike instead.
bike will carry only clothes n trail run gears(shoe+poles) as i plan to do town stopovers (and stay in towns for few days for then cycling n running, n onsens) before moving to next town.
Hey james, when the speedmax got fully loaded and heavy, does it make it hard to handle?
Great adventure! Love these kinds of videos.
Pretty cool! Wondering how bad you folks smelled when you got home haha :D
Love riding to the races! More like these!
Fair play lads, looks like a great adventure, wouldn't mind doing something similar myself one day :-)
Holy crap this vid deserves more views
Seeing a speedmax CFR Full of bags... hurts me a bit.
Aero bar in the Aeroad is interesting tho, which model is it?
That claim on the bike computers reminds me of the claim that you never need to charge the garmin solar devices. I had my garmin instinct for 9 month now, I am outside every day and have to charge the thing every two weeks, with no significant difference between now and winter.
Haha well I’ve continued to use it this week and still not dropped below 89%. I too am intrigued to see how it does, but so far I am very impressed
epicly awesome
8:11 we all totally agreed
There is nothing more on brand for bike packing than arguing with your mates about who brought the "right bike" or who has the "optimal setup" hahaha!
Great video. Thanks for sharing
Any details om the TT clip-ons on the aeroad? I can't find any solution that fits. The sirocco didn't fit on mine.
Ooh, noticed the rucksack. The self sufficient, overnight camping, back to back days. Will we see you at the OMM in October?
You guys are just amazing 😲
Just Wow! Well done guys
You guys are bonkers! But well done. Anti-histamines next time Mark...😉
Tell me about it 😂
Been touring on my TT bhr always struggle carrying stuff, can you advise or post your setup/gear please, TIA 🙏
Are you going to do a video from the Dorney lake triathlon you did recently?
Incredible :)
Great video!
Good effort
Any tips for the Dorney tri? Doing a sprint and an olympic there within the same week next month
Can you try disk wheel on mountain bike? Solid supporter here 😊
how did you find navigation and overall experience with the Coros Dura? Worth getting over other brands?
Dc rainmaker has done a good honest review. Since his video they have actually updated a lot of the niggles he experienced. Personally I am really enjoying it
Hey, I've just noticed on some of the older videos that the websites for training plans don't work and was just wondering if there's any trouble with the website or it's because you took down the training plans.
Is that the pdfs that were on a link? If so, I will take a look into it. We have training plans on Training Peaks too
i love this video
Bloody hell a lot of traffic noise almost everywhere you went.
💢👏💢👏💢👏💢👏💢👏
are you guys Using Coros Pace 3 watches now?
We are indeed. Have been using them for a while. Really like them 👍
@@markthrelfall3577 glad to hear..good to see brand making more for less ✨
What’s the bag called on the front fork?
What kind of TT bars are on Marks Canyon?
No disc wheel?! I’m disappointed 😂
Heyyy quick question. Whats your opinion on coros dura?
Haha, good idea 🤷
Mark and James: We're so tired, we didn't feel the best. Doing it for the fun.
also Mark and James: Podium in both races.
🙄
What length triathlons were these?
great video! next time please swap bikes to make more conclusion
because sore of the James is really confuse me, what will be if they swap bikes ?
How do you fix the bike computer on the TT bike? The mount in the box seem to be limited ...
It’s essentially the Garmin mounting system. The canyon Speedmax has a mount between the arms on the bars. You can just turn the internal mount for Garmin or wahoo
The DURA uses a pretty standard quarter-turn mounting system, which is compatible with a lot of existing mounts meaning it will fit on bespoke setups, third-party mounts or our own DURA mount!
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Anyone know what aero bar Mark is using? I have a Canyon Ultimate and have been researching for a while now but unfortunately there aren’t many about it.
It’s the control tech falcon - switched for longer bars and elbow rests
@@markthrelfall3577 Hey Mark, did you ask for special Canyon CP0018 adaptor, or was it just the standard stem mount ? I know they do have a special Canyon version, but it's really expensive. Thank you so much for your input and keep on those videos, we all love them !
Americans be like: WTF is a Kilometerrrrr
didnt know pool start tri's were a thing.
It is how I started, really good way to transition into triathlon if OWS makes you nervous, also allows for events earlier in the year, typically April. Usually limited to sprint events as too much pool time used otherwise. Also junior events are usually a pool swim.
Fewer now I guess. Huge in the 80s and 90s. How most people started back then.
What is name of the bike computer?
It's the COROS DURA!
@@DGCOROS mvp, thank you!
What a pain having to make an ad for that Coros piece of junk. You should put the „ad“ sticker….
