Ironman Cozumel | Post Race Thoughts & Feelings | Ruth Astle 

Yeyyyyyyyy I’m the guy from the beginning of video. Love you Ruth, you are a wonderful triathlete and a wonderful person.

There may have been rough times this year but you had may great times too. Remember all the fun you had with Indie in Kona. Also, ur kona race was super solid!! Praying your body heals quickly 😊

Thanks for posting this. Always like your honesty about the good, the mediocre and the 💩. Time for a beer and a reset 👍

Was so consternated as I noticed that you was no more listed in the live ticker. Good luck for the next season!

Have a great break Ruth, looking forward to next season already. Happy Holidays.

A tough watch Ruth, wishing you a speedy return to fitness and 2024.

Bless you,we feel your pain. Rest assured,my wife Kerry has volunteered to accompany you to all your races next year. Dont go alone. She is a fantastic fun person, she is motivational and super organised. Lol.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Ruth! So many little things that happened to ruin your day. You definitely made the right decision to pull out. Been a rough year but you are a tough cookie and I have no doubt you will overcome this and b back next year! 😀

6 weeks left in 2023 then pack it all away. 2024 will be a great year for you and I can't wait to see you back atop of the podium.

Ruth You get tons of points for toughing it out this year. Also you have reached a lot of people with your videos (kudos also to the camera man in Hawaii.. must have watched the dolphin video 15+ times) Take these and I am sure many other personal wins to come back strong in 2024!...and keep your videos going :-)

Must be very tough Ruth - I will always remember you cheering us age group athletes on whilst at Outlaw Holkham - real inspiration - have a great Christmas and wishing you all the best for 2024

Lady Ruth... u have the most beautiful round shaped Future behind u...just keep fighting !!! The Community is all in with u...

Best luck! You are a incredible athlete! Big fan here.

I was tracking you and was so sorry you had to pull off 😢 I hope the off season will heal your injury.

Have an Xmas break and hope you get better luck next year

Functional Range Conditioning (FRC) Find someone that is certified or take the program yourself. I have been a Therapist for 26 years. One of the best certifications I have taken. Good luck with your journey!!!

Onto the next one. Chin up ✊

Hey Ruth! It looks like your cadence on the bike is quite slow, with the amount of power/duration you are pushing, a faster cadence will put less strain on the tendons and ligaments in your legs because its more power per stroke. Trying to push the cadence ceiling might be worthwhile!

Sorry keep ur head up and remember you got this

Good luck with the Achilles rehab ❤

Going IC was not a good decision after Slightly, flares up in your aquiles,though was a learning experience Take a break and come back healthy 😊

I'm sorry. I was hoping you'd have a great time there.

Yep, organization was not great in Cozumel, I was surprised considering that is a historical race. It was a pity and confusing for the swimming.

more stretching and strength work

Logistics sounds horrible, I think I'll stick with Barcelona :)

why does the run look like Kona not Cozumel.

You might need to check your pedal stroke. I had an Achilles issue and found that when I rode hard I could feel the my Achilles being aggregated on the upstroke - ie from 6 o’clock upwards. May be worth a look
