Hard to believe that even pros were regular people buying second hand stuff from ebay. That puts things into perspective. Great video, thanks, Lucy!

Everybody's got to start somewhere! Thanks for tuning in 😁

they are still regular people! they make lots of the same bad decisions, but they have a ton of red blood cells and mitochondria and work ethic

Great video. I did my first at the age of 41 last year (Italy), after more than 15 y in running. Have been learning how to swim and ride a road bike from a zero. Took me a year of training. Two weeks ago I did my second full IM in Austria and I can say I'm addicted. 😅

I love the reminder of building it up in a gradual way thanks for this video - it was very relatable as I am working towards my first half marathon run. btw I love the sweatshirts on the channel - they are so soft and comfortable on a recovery day...I have 2!

@steevoridgeline 11 месяцев назад

i enjoyed every second of your video Lucy. I recalled when i decided to lean into ironman training and it was so a great lifestyle and easy to stay passionate about it. Then was the covid and then closed the swimming pool permanently nearby. With no more pool, it was pretty devastating so i stayed into running and trail running with some biking as a second sport. Its also with figure like you that i stay motivated. thanks for sharing the way you do. 🎖☀👍🏻

@DanielCastro-nw7bj 11 месяцев назад

On your last video you asked for ideas for future videos and this is EXACTLY the idea that I suggested! 🤩 Thank you for making it, I hope it was fun for you to look at old photos and think back to your start, as much as we have enjoyed watching and learning!! Hoping to do my first 70.3 this summer on a road bike 😊

Hey Lucy! Been following your Ironman journey for ages.. It was actually one of your videos their kickstarted my Triathlon journey. Last year i Finished Ironman 70,3 Elisnore, here in Denmark. And Summer 2024 I'll give Copenhagen Ironman a try.

Yes! 2 jobs and 2 businesses on the side just to finance my first ironman. I decided to get a coach

Imagine how amazing this sport would be if athletes were training and introduced to swim, bike, run early in life and did it throughout HS

@lawrencep7068 10 месяцев назад

This is what they already do, for example the Brownlee brothers were training throughout highschool, biking to school from a young age, jogging around the school grounds at lunchtimes with the head of Games and winning every local race at the weekends. The challange is getting kids to stick with it as they grow up! But your right if they do they win gold medals at the Olympics!

@davidkaplan5517 10 месяцев назад

@@lawrencep7068 but they weren’t training in HS as part of a triathlon team. It was just them training alone I believe. There’s a social element to swim team or cross country, etc. triathlon should have the same.

@lawrencep7068 9 месяцев назад

@@davidkaplan5517 agreed, hopefully as it's popularity continues to grow more and more youth type clubs will be offered. There are many more camps available from what I have seen so it's a step in an awesome direction :)

@megmikerodriguez6011 11 месяцев назад

Loved hearing about your journey into sport, Lucy! Trust you're well and good; missed seeing you mix it up at Roth! I completed my first Ironman last fall, IMMD at 50 years young and have to say that training the gut was the best thing for a successful race. I followed a plan in Iron FIt which built up the fitness so gradually that you'd never know I'd never run a marathon before race day; highly recommend that book. :D God bless you and your team as you continue along this fabulous journey, Megan

MC Paul Kaye introduced Lucy (end of video) as the fastest swim overall “including the pro’s”. Does that mean IM UK was a pro event back then?

@LucyCharlesBarclay 11 месяцев назад

Yes Ironman U.K. used to be a pro event, won by the likes of Lucy Gossage and Joe Skipper. Hopefully it will be a pro race again in the future, I’d love to race there again 😊

@SorayaR 11 месяцев назад

You literally have to commit your life to it if you have a fulltime job and a family, otherwise you just cant do this. Me and my husband are both triathletes he is training for his first half ironman and im short course. People dont always understand why we cant make it to bbq's or partys but its just our way of life...

@LucyCharlesBarclay 11 месяцев назад

It’s a tough one for sure having to compromise on the social life but I hope your commitments pay off for you👍

@juliusrohrbach9115 9 месяцев назад

My wife and me also just did our first triathlons (she short course me olympic distance) having two small children and she working part time, me working more then full time, while still finishing our acadamic careers (She her master thesis me my PhD) it is possible if one really supports one another and includes training sessions into every day life (biking to work, going regularly to the pool with the family etc.). And it is great fun, keep it up!

@yijuntey 11 месяцев назад

I'm 20 right now and been competing in swimming since around 12 but no where at the level that you were, now I've transitioned to triathlon and have competed a mix of few races from 5k - marathon, to sprint distance tri and a duathlon and planning on competing in an ironman some time in the near future when I have more time. My dream is to become a national triathlete one day and hopefully be able to compete in things like WT competitions and so on even as just an age-grouper. Is it ever too late to start this sport in terms of your potential? I feel like a lot of athletes at 20 already have more major competition experiences or just fitter than I am right now.

@LucyCharlesBarclay 11 месяцев назад

It’s never too late to start and you are still very young! If you’re willing to put the necessary hard work in you’ll catch up 💪🏻

@okimy3668 11 месяцев назад

Absolutely go for it! Short distance I'm not sure about, but middle/long distance it's definitely not too late 💪

@yijuntey 11 месяцев назад

@@okimy3668 ah ok will definitely try my hardest to get there. I find that my aerobic base is definitely up there with the faster people, just don't have the running technique and speedy T1/T2 to be competitive enough yet. Thanks for the reply!

Hey Lucy, I started triathlon when i was 22 and im now turning 23. I dont have any background in any of the three sports. Im now training more than 20h per week with a coach. Do you think it is realstic to think i can turn pro ? Its a huge dream of mine since i fell in love with triathlon

Prepare money first before you prepare for an Ironman. Because like me, I trained first only to find out I could not afford all the expenses, only the registration which was a month’s worth of my salary.
