Epic FAIL Triathlon | Race around Cornwall

  • Опубликовано: 20 авг 2024
  • Our first triathlon of the year didn't go quite to plan! Stay tuned to see us struggle through the Cornish landscape with a few epic fails along the way!
    As any Brit will know, the weather forecast here is completely unreliable- and just because it's looking like a perfect sunny day in the morning does not mean it's going to stay that way at all!
    Unfortunately this was not the only challenge faced on our makeshift triathlon through the rural coastal landscape of Cornwall. Swimming around the coast of Port Isaac, riding from there over to Perranporth, before finishing with a run along the massive stretch of beach.
    Maybe one day we can make this into a real organised event, hopefully with the chaos ironed out! But for now, enjoy watching us work through it and maybe give it a go for yourself!

    -Reece: the run was slow ( 4: 45 / km) cuz it was bare foot on sand with wind.
    -Me: *suffering to run 4: 45 1K repeats*

    Without wishing to sound like a 60s sitcom, but, “I love Lucy” (sorry Reece). I love the enthusiasm and energy in these videos and I am really rooting for Lucy to win Kona, whenever it happens next.

    Reece got lost because he was more focused on Lucy’s well-being in the swim which was awesome the bond these two have. A great inspiration watching this. A great motivation.
    COME TO WEYMOUTH GUYS!! A great town to swim, bike and run around 😊👍🏼

    I am an ex-pat living in Austria and it makes me so proud to be British when I watch this video. There is way too much “ training in Boulder Colorado” with today’s crowd. Great to see a mix of training and fun in tough conditions, this is your secret recipe to beat Annie & Daniella next year, it will definitely make you stronger in the long run. Hopefully see you both again in La Santa this winter.

  • @stu09
    @stu09 4 года назад +2

    Loved this video guys. Got me thinking, what actually is the best strategy if jellys are encountered in a race? Go direct / quickest route and take any stings on the chin (possibly literally) or swerve them, avoid stings but sacrifice a bit of time. I guess it’s something pros think about because I believe they’re quite prevalent in Kona?
