Chanel, you are amazing!! A mom, an amazing wife, a lawyer, an internet personality, an advocate for all women aspiring to sport AND an IRONWOMAN!!! Cheers!
Comment of the day…..”wish the UCI would let s use some of this stuff”. Well done Chanel, Ironman is a great journey, and crossing the finish line is a feeling like no other.
Alex looking at Tri bikes with envy, still mentioning the UCI should have a look at these ahah - golden :) There is a world outside of UCI regulations and it feels so great! - Great effort Chanel, you proved me wrong; huge Kudos for this achievement (done 2 IM's, never again)
Im in the video! Incredible :) Good effort of you Alex, hard and tough race for you. That icecream place was excellent. Does being a supporter make you want to try one yourself.
Oh man. That was riveting. I was only supposed to burn 500 calories on my trainer, but I got distracted and did 526. Really great to see the emotion and pain and dedication and perseverance. You are a hero, Chanel.
I thought I saw a familiar face supporting on the run course!! It wasn’t my imagination! Well done on surviving Ironman supporting duties, and well done Chanel! Welcome to the Ironman family!
Note to Alex if there is a next time... Halfway in a bike race is very different from halfway in an Ironman. The halfway mark of an entire Ironman is at 32km of the run. It takes as much out of you to run the last 10km as the 216km that came before in the swim/bike/run. Well done to Chanel! I will bet that was tougher than any single day Alex had on the bike.
Being a supporter is he toughest job in the world.! I’ve supported a 70.3, an Ironman and tomorrow the Nuuksio Classic. Well done Chanel, great effort.!
Wow fantastic video you guys 👏🏻👏🏻 an Ironman is truly EPIC Forever in Chanel’s lifetime to be fair AND quite 😢 for her survival during it!!! It’s on in my local town in 🇮🇪 next year sooo going to chance the Relay with my sister and friend for the challenge AND atmosphere 🤞🏻
Congratulations Alex, looks like you had a tough day! 😂 I can just about make out myself in your footage. I'm just ahead of Chanel in the blue jersey at the end of the cycling loop and again at transition, behind the guy with the trailer. Massive congrats to Chanel!
Well done Chanel, I was out on the course racing alongside you and watching this brought back so many emotions and had me sobbing. Until you do it, you never know what it takes or what you get back from it. Be proud. You are an Ironman!
GG No easy way to do an Ironman, even the Pros find it hard. Wait a week or two and then look at the results and if you just do this and that you can finish higher up. Then you are hooked
Massive congrats. When Chanel crosses that finish line, I tear up every time... did so during the live Insta coverage, when watching the video on Chanel's channel, and now here again. It's just so inspiring...!! Massive effort.
OMFG MASSIVE Congratulations 🥳🎊🏅 to you Chanel 👏🏻👏🏻 what a hero of effort!!! Buy you should come to 🇮🇪 for your next one in 2023!!! Best part here was Alex eating the cone 😂😂
Excellent effort for Chanel achieving the finish and seeing a supporter perspective for the ironman with you. Only seen Ironman races as a competitor but know supporting endurance events is so tiring. Taking part seems like the easier option, you pick up food and drink as you go and you trained to do it as efficiently as you can. Well done finding interesting ways to show your support, love the creativity with interviews and updating Chanel about your treats, distracting the athletes from the discomfort is so helpful when it gets tough. Do more of these!
Glad to see the whole town had signs up for Chanel. But seriously, I helped a friend train for a 1/2 Ironman and that seemed pretty tough. I, like Alex, helped with the cycling training. I also helped with the swim part, but I couldn't even offer a modicum of help for the run. Looked seriously tough.
Amazing well done 👏 We we’re there as well, my dad was supposed to do it but was injured after doing the Triathlon X in the Lake District! We went and supported and I did the IronKids. It was a great atmosphere and hope Chanel does another.
Well Chanel you did something epic , a Ironman not many can say the done that and Alex you did great to with all the eating lol. Hard to watch the pain at end but never gave up so massiv cudos.
You've got yourself one tough cookie there, Alex! I couldn't do one of those legs, never mind all three consecutively! Awesome. But watching is definitely harder than competing!
Yes, I hope that Alex understands and appreciates just HOW fortunate he is to have someone who is into endurance sports and fitness, even if it is not her actual profession! YES, CONGRATS and CHAPEAU to Chanel!!👍👍👍
ya this was good =) huge grats to Chanel.. Now all that is missing is to see how she walks in the morning when she wakes up . =) I live in there and have done the ironman 2x and realy the walk the day after is where the good content is . =)
Brilliant result, well done. The "all shapes and sizes" is so true but I'd add "ages" too, I did one in 2018 and the kids took great please in telling me I was beaten by an octogenarian. So, when are we going to see you in a wetsuit? Nathan did it...
Amazing for your first tri on to wales next. Been in that dark place. The marathon is the hardest part physicaly but mostly that mental attle when you just want it to end and your mind is so far removed from reality. Its a huge mental battle to give going forward
Epic effort Chanel! I did the Port Macquarie Australian one a long time ago, and seeing you do this brought back the emotion. Wonder if you had that feeling of fu#k ive just swam, rode 180k and now ive got to run a marathon!! Chapeau!
sincere congratulations Chanel. YOU. ARE. AN. IRONMAAAAAAAAN
Golden rule... Never ask a triathlete if they are OK halfway thru an Ironman marathon! 🤣
Well done, Chanel. Super effort. 👏
😂 Truth!
Chanel, you are amazing!! A mom, an amazing wife, a lawyer, an internet personality, an advocate for all women aspiring to sport AND an IRONWOMAN!!!
Cheers!
Love this. ….”I’ve had a beer and an ice cream…” 😂
Ironman is a big day not only for the racer but the supporters too. Also the journey to the start line
Felt the emotion throughput this. Fantastic effort Chanel. Even had the thought to ask Alex if he was ok when on the run - legend.
Classic mom moment:
Alex: You’ll be able to tell Juliette that you’ve done it.
Chanel: Is she okay?
Real tough day.....ice cream and a beer.... glad you paced yourself! 🤣
Brilliant effort Chanel, you nailed it!
Comment of the day…..”wish the UCI would let s use some of this stuff”.
Well done Chanel, Ironman is a great journey, and crossing the finish line is a feeling like no other.
8:19 is hilarious 😂😂😂 you almost snapped your neck Alex! Awesome work Chanel on finishing!!!
My ex-triathlete brother's not so famous words of inspiration : "To find the wall - you sometimes have to hit the wall".
Great effort Chanel.
What a great role model Chanel is, showing with hard work & stubborn determination, anything is possible.
I love your genuine support of Chanel at 7:19 and you bike jealousy (?) at 8:20 ! Actually, love all of it
Alex looking at Tri bikes with envy, still mentioning the UCI should have a look at these ahah - golden :) There is a world outside of UCI regulations and it feels so great! - Great effort Chanel, you proved me wrong; huge Kudos for this achievement (done 2 IM's, never again)
Haha Alex laughing at the thought of running a marathon. 😂 watch it Alex, the triathlon bug will bite ya
What an absolute warrior. Well done again Chanel 💪🏻🏊🏻♀️🏃🏼♀️🚴🏼♀️
I *LOVE* that description! Very accurate - she's a warrior!
@@Neilhuny the commitment to just complete it after walking like that off the bike is amazing. A day never to forget I am sure
The DJ playing “I will survive” at the start line feels a bit on the nose…
Im in the video! Incredible :)
Good effort of you Alex, hard and tough race for you. That icecream place was excellent.
Does being a supporter make you want to try one yourself.
Never seen Alex so nervous in a video, awesome, well done Chanel
Fantastic to watch and see Chanel complete the Ironman. Even when she was clearly suffering she kept going. And such great support from Alex.
Oh man. That was riveting. I was only supposed to burn 500 calories on my trainer, but I got distracted and did 526. Really great to see the emotion and pain and dedication and perseverance. You are a hero, Chanel.
I thought I saw a familiar face supporting on the run course!! It wasn’t my imagination! Well done on surviving Ironman supporting duties, and well done Chanel! Welcome to the Ironman family!
That was fantastic Chanel. Great to keep it going through that run when you are so tired.
Note to Alex if there is a next time... Halfway in a bike race is very different from halfway in an Ironman.

Well done to Chanel! I will bet that was tougher than any single day Alex had on the bike.
Simply put, this was a fantastic video.
Lovely, having done several Ironman's I know the pain , also supporting my wife to do hers. lovely to see
Being a supporter is he toughest job in the world.! I’ve supported a 70.3, an Ironman and tomorrow the Nuuksio Classic. Well done Chanel, great effort.!

Fair play Chanel. The second half of an ironman marathon is always pretty brutal.
That was straight up grit right there, and seeing someone else going through it when you know how awful it is, tough all around.
Impressed. This inspires to maybe test my limits too… Thanks for the content and speedy recovery 🙌
Incredibly impressive. Well done Chanel. Had me tearing up watching this.
Congratulations Alex, looks like you had a tough day! 😂 I can just about make out myself in your footage. I'm just ahead of Chanel in the blue jersey at the end of the cycling loop and again at transition, behind the guy with the trailer. Massive congrats to Chanel!
Well done Chanel! Inspirational stuff and great to put Alex back in his place as support staff after all the times you've been there for him!
Congrats Chanel! It's lovely to see the support you both give to each other. So, when are you doing your IM Alex?
Insanely impressive. I can't even imagine the effort of doing an ironman. Chapeau!
Congratulations. My daughter watched me do my Ironman. It was as hard for me watching her to her Ironman.
Well done Chanel, I was out on the course racing alongside you and watching this brought back so many emotions and had me sobbing. Until you do it, you never know what it takes or what you get back from it. Be proud. You are an Ironman!
Chanel is an absolute legend for this
I'm sure you went to some real dark places during the run! Congrats for pushing through them and finishing
I felt the emotion throughout too. Lovely to see. Congratulations.
Congrats to Chanel...massive achievement!
Impressive day Chanel- congratulations!
A massive well done to Chanel! Awesome stuff!
What flavour ice cream did you go for Alex?
Vanilla, dull but efficient, like me 😂
Massive congratulations Chanel, Well done. That run just looked brutal.
Wonderful, one of you best videos yet. Congratulations to Chanel for a race well run.
That was painful just watching! Well done Chanel. The beer and icecream look like they hit the spot Alex. 😋
Fantastic Chanel. Had tear in my eye. Great effort and mental toughness.
GG No easy way to do an Ironman, even the Pros find it hard. Wait a week or two and then look at the results and if you just do this and that you can finish higher up. Then you are hooked
Well done Chanelle, absolutely fantastic.
Bless her little cotton socks !! super congrads on that effort

Beautiful congratulations Chanel well done and Alex must be proud !!
No idea why people do that to themselves (running and swimming, that is), but: Chapeau Chanel, well done indeed!
Excellent effort. I did this race in 2019 and the video brought back so many memories!
