i'm not aware of any race that provides wetsuits or bikes - but you can hire them if you want to race but don't have you own

@@will_mcmorran thank you

yeah zone 2 (and zone 1) builds the aerobic base - allows you to run higher volume because you recover quicker than from higher zone efforts. zone 4/5 are above the lactate threshold so running in those zones is teaching your body to clear lactate faster and working the anaerobic system. zone 3 is general useful as a race pace zone - most longer distances races are completed in zone 3 this is my understanding of the HR zones :) maybe ill make vids abt the others in more depth

sure is! mine is not, nearly time for a new one!

Frr

yessir

nice! hope it works well for ya

good luck!!

i cant remeber exactly but it was pretty chilly to start with but i didn't really notice the temp after a while so cant be have too cold - the previous year it was a much sunnier day and less windy and water was pretty warm - in feb it'll be warmer also

when its pretty full it does a little, but otherwise not really - you can make the straps quite tight and it helps

imo its true to size, I wear US9 in 2000 10 & 12, Trabuco, and Metaspeed Sky + and US9 works very well for me in my fuji lite

@@will_mcmorran Thanks for sharing!

cheers :)

i ran the 11km this year - maybe ill give one of the longer distances a crack in 2025

for sure! yeah my memories from last year were mostly from the first half, i forgot how brutal that section of the course is !!

Well done!! yep its a pretty brutal course at the best of times - hope you're proud of yourself and enjoyed it out there :))

cheers! exactly, back to work and i'll be back and better than ever hopefully

cheers! yep definitely was too optimistic !

@@will_mcmorran aren’t we all in the first 1km 😂😂

@@AndreRees exactly!!

yep exactly - so you fnisih the swim and press lap and it moves into t1, lap again and it moves to bike etc etc

What the yap!?

I think it's beginner advice feom a beginner with experience maybe... he want to make content on something he is passionate about, so he is starting at the right place. I think your comment doesn't mean your criticism is valid because it isn't constructive which makes it feel hypocritical. What could he have done better maybe...

@@sonitclef8675 .....................'Tell us what chant you use to keep your mind clear' If you stop being a snowflake I gave him the absolute best advice as some tough love.

Whats ur problem bro

probably not necessary but ive never had and issue with them or even thought about them really - i guess you could cut them off if you were worried

@@will_mcmorran cheers will, Ya, I just bought a pair. In fairness, they feel great to run, and it may be all in my head about them getting tangled in something. I'm thinking of cutting them off alright, which seems a shame, because they are a beautiful shoe

@@StephenCowley-zo2rq nice! i think you'll probably be fine without cutting them to be honest - I'm glad you are liking them so far

haha :) hope it helps!

thanks mate :) appreciate you!

@@will_mcmorran Your welcome and always keep it up!

noice, i hope it works well for you!

this is true tbf

compulsory gear.

cheers!
