Definitely the Arena Games: Take away flying mounts, cornering, and more technical/speedy transition skills (and add in hotel quarantine and inability to train to full capacity) and you get an incredible glimpse into LCB's short course potential. No doubt Lucy can easily hone these skills with more experience so this race left me extremely excited for what's to come.... And in pure Lucy style, she did not disappoint!! Most exciting race of 2021 for me.
Favorite race has to be the 70.3 worlds. Seeing everything finally come together at the biggest race and you dominating was just so impressive to watch.
The 70.3 World Championship at St. George, was definitely the best race. Congrats Lucy!!!
The most enjoyable race of Lucy's to watch this year, or perhaps any year was 100% the 70.3 World Championship. I have been following Lucy since she burst onto the scene in 2017 and to see her be so dominate across all 3 disciplines and to finally be crowned World Champion was truly incredible and a sporting moment that I will remember for a long time and I am looking forward to seeing what you have in store in 2022.
It has to be 💯 the 70.03 World Championship! Having got into triathlon last year, watching you grow and achieve everything you have, is inspirational! You share such a down to earth account of your journey and I thank you for that. I just know you will continue to win more and more 🏆
St. George with the high altitude training before was amazing anticipation for the final result. For you to achieve the title with training that you were unfamiliar with just showed how dedicated you are to your dreams. By far the most exciting race that I have been able to see you race.
Loved the first STL arena games, great to see Lucy going all in on the shorter course stuff while still training for the 70.3 worlds!
Leeds! Proving beyond doubt that you are successful across distances, and making the future exciting..
I think my favourite race of yours to watch was the 1500m Olympic trials! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, and it was incredible seeing you beat some of the best swimmers in the country. It was quite unexpected which made it so interesting to watch! 🐶🏊♀💪
The coolest race of yours this year was when you destroyed everyone at the 70.3 World Championship! 💪🏼😎
My favourite was the Collins Cup.
I know she worked so hard for her team and it was great to see them win! Lucy had the best split for the swim （obviously lol) and she looked amazing on her bike. I know she had some problems on the bike and run legs but I couldn't tell watching from home. That's how well she was able to cope under pressure and under the weather. (quite literally for this rainy race)
She won her race, gaining points for her team and it was so fun to watch with the point system as well!
It motivated me a lot to compete for myself as well as for other people on my team. :)
Enjoyed all these videos and all the races you did! My favorite was St. George - such an insanely inspiring race! 🙌🏼You're incredible - all the best for 2022!
Arena games for sure! Keeps a looking glass view of all of the competitors during the event! Congrats on a super successful 2021 Lucy! 🥇🏊🏼♀️🚴🏼♀️🏃🏼♀️
St. George! Loved the preps, the pre-race stay in the cabin and of course, the race itself. Congratulations on a big year and wishing you and the whole TCB a better one for 2022!
It has to be the 70.3 world championship. Fastest times in all 3 legs. Unprecedented!!! And that gold accented bike just shows what a race it was. Congrats on an amazing year and a year ahead that all your fans can’t wait to see
Tbh, I enjoyed to watch every race you did this year!🔥
Hope to see you on the top of the podium in St.Georg and Kona in 2022. You absolutely deserve it!
Has to be becoming 70.3 world champion. An amazing achievement and a true inspiration, it’s a pleasure to see you compete at such a high level and always provides the motivation to swim bike run. Thank you Team Charles-Barclay!
It was an honour to share the course with you at the 70.3 World champs! Congrats on a fantastic year...can't wait to see what you do in '22!
You are a true inspiration. I love watching you in my garage while I'm gearing up for my second year of age-grouper triathlons. Absolutely loved finding and following you along your journey. Cheers to an amazing year and many more ahead!
Loved every minute of your journey this year, wish you all the best for 2022, I think your performance in 70.3 champs showed the hard work paid off and you got the well deserved win.
Hi Lucy! Thank you so much for being a huge inspiration for me to learn more about triathlon over the year! Also your sister is an insane editor :) My favorite race of yours has to be the World Champion in St. George- the pure joy of hard work was so clear at the end and so well deserved
First of all, I wanted to say, you're inspiring me every day!!! Definitely, my fav race has to be the 70.3 amazing and the most impressive. Such a fantastic moment, well deserved 💪
Thanks for allowing us to follow your season, through the training and the races. You and Reece (and Lola) always deliver great content that is fun and uplifting. Congrats on your world title! Definitely my favorite race of yours this year!
I loved st George! Also really loved watching the footage from the altitude camp you did! Also thank you for this video, exactly what I wanted to watch going into a new year 🤩 best of luck for 2022💪🏻
Your First Sprint Triathlon, Because you took a risk into a different modality than you're used to (long distances) and watching you in this challenge inspired me, because I'm starting in triathlon 🚀 GO LUCY, GO!
Love to see you in all the races you do as you always give 100%, favourite race was Collins Cup, what a performance when even feeling bad. 2022 is your Kona year!!! All the best. Nice to meet you on Nice 2019.
I think for me it’s a close call between the arena games and the Olympic trials. To see Lucy test herself against dedicated swimmers and gone a great account for herself and ability was incredible. The arena games were just such a fun format to spectate and is a great new dynamic set up for the sport.
Thanks for taking us on your journey Lucy and keep the great vids coming.
It has to be the 70.3 World Championship - having followed you for quite a few years and been so inspired by your drive, big heart, determination and sheer brilliance and having been cheering in the dead of night here in Australia - it was such an incredible moment to see you take that championship home and see all your hard work come together in such an incredible way. Thank you for being such a shining light for us and being such an inspiring and motivating force ❤❤❤
Definitely the 70.3 worlds! Hard work pays off! Congrats on a fantastic year! 💪
LOVED watching her compete and win the iron man world championship. Firstly because I have been following her for years and seen how much hard work she has put into winning it, it must have meant everything when she crossed that finishing line. Also she was so dominant throughout the whole race that it just showed what a amazing athlete she is. Mainly it has inspired me to never give up, keep working on my goals until I get them. Hard work pays off. Well done Lucy!!!! Motivating many of us to keep pushing and enjoy triathlons.
It's been great following a long your journey so far and very inspiring for me and my family. The Collins cup was amazing to see that team format in triathlons and to watch you push through illness to still win for Europe. All the best! Cheers!
The 70.3 World Champs. You are a world champion! Well done Lucy
Happy New Year, Lucy and Reece! I loved following all your races, but my favorite was for sure the 70.3 World Championship!
Definitely the 70.3 World Championship, because you finally made your dream come true! All your hard work is finally being rewarded. You are a real inspiration to follow your dreams!!
Watching you win St. George was one of the highlights of my year as a fan. I can only imagine how it felt for you. Congrats again!
70.3 worlds! You’d been training so hard and I was so happy to see it all come together for you! 🙌🏻
Loved watching you the Arena Games, it was such a different and exciting format. You did so well! Can't wait to see what you will do this year, and it's helping to keep me motivated for my triathlon's this year. :D
I loved your race in the Collins Cup. Even though you were feeling unwell, you rocked!!!
Keep on going, you inspire me to keep doing my training sessions.
Absolutely loved the Olympic trials. It was absolutely exciting and inspiring to see you smash that after such a short time focusing only on swimming. Looking forward to the next events! :)
Loved seeing you win the 70.3 World Championships and the estatic joy on your face. You are such an inspiration Lucy. Thank you ❤️
My favorite is the 70.3 World Championship. It was an incredible moment to see you win after a long journey and your comment about the importance of a perfect day will be kept in my mind forever. Go on, it is always a pleasure and Inspiration to see you racing.
Definitely St George. I went to cheer on my son and missed part of his race when I heard you were at the post race panel. My daughter and I ran over to see you, and you were soooo nice letting us take pictures with you. Definitely the highlight of our trip!
Amazing win at the 70.3 world champs is my favourite. You were just so happy after! Well done on a very successful 2021 and good luck for 2022!!
100% coolest seeing you win 70.3 worlds Lucy. Congrats on an amazing year!
Congratulations for such a fantastic year!!!!. Keep up the good work and surely 2022 will be even better!!! My favorite race was Abu Dhabi because I was there racing also and watching all the Elite triathletes. Amazing experience in a great place. Although I also enjoyed watching you winning the Worl Championship (Congratulation for that personalized Cube bike. Looks amazing!!!)
Amazing Year, amazing recap video! loved are you're races, but yeah 70.3 worlds was the best one EVER. Have great 2022 year aswell
My favourite has to be St. George, you've work so hard that It was amazing to see you getting the world title you deserve, happy new year!
The best race was the 70.3 World Championship at St. George! In my opinion, that race was perfectly executed from start to finish and your competitors could not get anywhere near you. Wishing you all the best for your races in 2022! Go Lucy! 💪🏊♀🚴♀🏃♀
My favorite race to watch you was experiencing it live in St. George, UT at the 70.3 World Champs! The crazy weather that came in. There was a storm brewing and you were it! Congrats on a great year!!
Feel so proud and I don't even know you haha! Great job stretching yourself in all the different events/distances - I wish I could do this for a living! I've loved your RUclips, I watch your videos when I'm on the static bike at the gym and I LOVED watching the Collins Cup - I thought it was exciting to be part of a team like you said and also experiencing a brand new event. I thought it was fun and nice to see triathletes in teams. Happy new year!
St. George was definitely my favourite - such a great race performance and an important one as well. What a great and successful year you had! Kudos!
St George was the greatest race of the year! You dominated it so well. Huge Congrats Champ!!
Very hard to choose a race as I loved watching them all, but if I had to choose it would be St George because it was your first world champs and well deserved. 👏👏👏
Even though you crushed all the races this year, I actually love the race you did with your family in the amusement park. Congratulations on all your success, and look forward to seeing you crush 2022.
Watching you perform at the Colin’s Cup was a stand out for me, the new format and team dynamics was amazing. So many athletes pushed harder than they needed to for a personal win to ensure maximum points for their team. Then to learn post race you had stomach issues but still smashed it was so impressive. Thanks for content over the year… it’s my go to media for my treadmill steady runs. Looking forward to an action packed 2022.
The 70.3 World Championship in St. George was definitely my favorite race to watch! I've been following your journey for a few years now and it was amazing to see you accomplish one of your huge goals. It was so inspiring!
Congratulations on an amazing year and thank you for sharing it with all of us!! I think the Arena Games were my favorite because it introduced a new format and way to race during the pandemic which was awesome to watch. Cheers to an awesome 2022! :)
Amazing video edit , best video of the year for sure . 👍👍
Wow!!! Just Wow! I watch all your videos and This one by far is my favorite ❤️ you have inspired me so much and I love your infectious love for this amazing sport!!

Definitely the best race was the World Championship in St. George.🏅 You were so fast in all three disciplines.🏊♀🚴🏃♀
It’s got to be the 70.3 world champs! Annihilated the field in every stage. Absolutely smashed it. Congratulations on an epic year! 🥳
Firstly well done on a great year. I love watching your videos especially the training videos but my favourite race this year was your 5th place at Leeds must have been a nice surprise after thinking u wouldn’t get a place.
The 70.3 championship of course. Her dedication and commitment is second to none! Awesome athlete
Loved watching st george! Was really pleased to see all your effort pay off and a well deserved win!
Cheer’s to a awesome 2022 to come 🦾. We love you LUCY 🧜♀️
The best one was watching you live at 70.3 Helsingør-fantastic race from a fantastic athlete! Keep pushing!!!
100%
70.3 Ironman in St.George those world champs were special and it’s true to say that because of the way that you are and how you go about things there will be many young people from all over the world getting into the sport. So thank you. My daughter is one of them she is 6.
Having followed you for years, the moment you crossed the line at 70.3 worlds was the best moment of the year! And really enjoyed the race as a whole just being able to see everything come together
all of them! Specially Collins, not feeling well and win anyway! Awesome year, so so so motivating and inspiring! Also good job for the videos, they’re so great to watch every time!
DEFINITELY the 70.3 World Championship. Congrats for this season!!!
For me it seeing you win the 70.3 worlds. Everything kinda fell into place - so proud of you and Reece x
Had to be the 70.3 worlds! Insane, flawless race and obviously the culmination of years of hard work. Thanks for the endless inspiration and all you bring to this crazy sport 😁 I completed my first 70.3 and full Ironman distances this year and have gotta say, the "battle braids" is the one and only hairstyle that is actually swim, bike and run proof!! ❤️
Great video as always Holly! Seems crazy how quick that year went, seems just like yesterday the new bike deal with Cube was announced.
My fave race was the arena games, a new exciting format that hopefully will continue with crowds allowed in too so we can spur you onto the win! Dominated the swim as always and was great to see it in the pool too!
My favorite race to watch from you was the collins cup! You looked amazing and smashed it!! The fact that you didn't feel well but still performed flawless - fascinated and inspired me!
70.3 World Championship. So much hard work and years of experience from Kona coming together for an outstanding performance.
Loved watching you race Super League! Your willingness to try new distances/ events while maintainting a fun and go-getter attitude has inspired me to take on some new events myself in 2022 ✨
Most certainly the World Championship for 70.3. What an effort. There isn't enough bravo for the whole year !!
I love the 70.3 Worlds. Just so happy to see the pieces falling together for you!
I love watching all of your races. You are truly an inspiration. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be the 70.3 World Championships. You showed that through hard work and determination you can accomplish anything. Congratulations on a fantastic season!
I have watched all of them but i would say St. George was the best, an amazing race, you completely nailed It! Congrats on a brutal year, wishing you a better 2022!
Awesome job on a fantastic year- bring on 2022- my favourite was the Arena Games - remember watching it live !!!!
Definitely 70.3 World Champs St. George. Total domination all day - inspirational!
70.3 Worlds, even if all of them were a delight to watch.
Thank you and Reece for the motivation and spirit you showed us throughout the year. I don't think I would have been as dedicated to training without you. Also thank you Holly (and the team) for the super high quality content.
Love you all (Lola
Loved all of them! Especially enjoyed watching you adapt to shorter distance races too!
That was a great watch. My 7 year old loves your “pain cave” and insists on “battle braids” when she exercises.
Favourite race was 70.3 Worlds. What a way to do it, winning emphatically and having the quickest splits in all 3 disciplines 🥇
My favourite, in a weird way, was Miami. That race and the penalties etc, can LITERALLY make-or-break a season. You can either let frustration and anger set in, or you can accept it and come back stronger which you most definitely did. With all the youth out there watching you, too, that day was a perfect example of being a true professional.
Well done, Lucy! 👏
Dorney!! I love watching you race a course that I race and see you at our home course... just amazing!!
Great video recap of an amazing year - people will be watching this for years to come and will wonder how on earth you did all these races and achieved so many great performances in so many different formats! Favourite race for me was Eton Dorney - having raced the age group in the morning, it was incredible to be able to watch and cheer you on in person in the afternoon, brilliantly executed race, total dominance!
Enjoyed watching you in the 70.3 Worlds. You crushed it in a beautiful backdrop of Utah. Congratulations on a successful 2021 and thank you for all the RUclips content.
What an amazing inspirational and well deserved year!!!!
Super psyched to get into 2022 season after watching this :)
All the races were brilliant. I think the most exciting and super impressive has to be a joint winner for me between the iconic Leeds Olympic distance. Such an exciting race on home ground too and with only a short time to prepare cudos.
And of course the 70.3 world championships win, a truly brilliant, super hard performance mega cudos
I loved seeing Lucy at St. George this year! I only got to see her exit the swim and get on her bike because I waiting to start hours after her, but it was great to see her start the race. Love her enthusiasm.
Loved watching St George and seeing her dominate from start to finish. I knew the title was coming for her & can’t wait to watch her Kona again 😍
An inspiring year with the huge variety of races that she combined into her season - never afraid to try new things out of her comfort zone.
I enjoyed the worlds in st George and the videos leading up to it. So inspiring, Thankyou!
I enjoyed watching your 70.3 Worlds performance the most! It was awesome to see you bring all 3 disciplines together and absolutely dominate the field. Such a well deserved World Champion title. Congrats on an epic 2021!
loved watching you go back to your roots in the pool this year & show the world you still have top swim speed in you even after all the years away from that type of specific training. you are fearless & courageous & it was awesome watching you take on all the various iterations of endurance sport & do well. 70.3 world champs was well deserved & i look forward to you taking the tape down at st. george world's & finally, kona!!
Favorite race was the 70.3 world championship win. To finally get that win was exciting to see! Love watching all the training you do, helps get me out the door. Thanks Lucy!
St. George - it's been inspiring watching someone work so hard and persevere towards a goal then achieve it with such strength and style. You inspire more people than you know!
I loved watching you win St. George because it felt like all your hard work finally payed off in a huge way! That race left no question that you are the best in the world. You’re a huge inspiration! Thank you for all the great content this year!
I have watched all off your videos, and you are one off my inspirations to go in too triathlon myself. Sing up for my first 70,3. And that is why your world title is the most memorable moment for me! Seeing your biggest goal being achieved is so inspiring!! Love to see what you will achieve in 2022 💪🏻
It’s been amazing to watch you compete in so many different formats. I admire the way you put yourself out there & give it your best. Hard to beat St George 70.3 World Champs as the favourite race to watch you win.
It's gott be 70.3 worlds. Amazing to watch you race, and your amazing smile at the end!
