IRONMAN WALES 2022 Race Day 

Swim was super tough- so much salt water taken on board!! It was my first ever Ironman, finished in 13h35m (your videos were my inspiration to sign up!!)

Man this video is EPIC! Great job out there, Wales looks amazing. hope you had a great time TD!

I shouted “Triathlon Dan!” At you on the run. Awesome day. Crazy swim. After I crossed the line a volunteer collected my street wear bag, finishers tshirt and got my medal engraved while I ate pizza! Amazing crowds and support.

Great to see you out there mate. Unfortunately what I had was a DNF🤦🏼‍♂️ you smashed it though pal what a day!

“Dan Boy” definitely a Welsh thing 🤣 you’re adopted Welsh now mate!

Great day out again. Awesome support as usual. Was next to you on the last lap of the run walk/running it. I had little motivation left. I was told 3k into the first run loop I'd been Dq'd for dangerous driving, no red card shown or info given. Walked 3.5k to see a marshal that radio'd the race control who said I should carry on running, brother also asked race control who said the same and didn't know what was happening as the app was down. Got the medal and tee but no time and still DQ'd in app. Appealed but told non-appealable offence. Pretty pissed about it after the long wait, but we will have a go again for a 4th time next year. I saw the official offence list there were 3 red cards given, 4 yellows given, no blue. Enjoy the recovery 👊

Great to meet you on race day Dan and Liz, thanks for the cheers up Saundersfoot megaphone-Liz 😂. Also great to meet Tri-Si. What a day!

Well done Dan. Completely echo your comments on the support and energy in the course, by far the best of any IM I’ve done. I felt like Pidcock through the Alp DHuez going through the tunnel of cheers. The swim was insane! Well done on such a good day, everyone who crossed that line should be so proud.

Amazing time Dan boy! I said hello to you as you passed me on the first climb out of Pembroke towards Angle. Well done and great day. Loved the swim. 💪🏊‍♂️🚴🏃🏻‍♂️

Liz setting the bar for support crew with the cowbell, megaphone and her trolly 🏆 Well done Dan, Matt and everyone else involved. I really can’t wait to slay the dragon myself next year after watching this!

Haha I was shouting go on Dan boy as you were passing me on the run. That swim was mad. Like I was in a washing machine by buoy 2 😅

Liz can we just have a video of you with the megaphone loved it. I shouted as I passed a few times awesome day! Missed Dan somehow!

Thank you Liz and Simon for the great video of the ironman, 👏xx

Quality commentary from Tri Si "running home with their purchases..." 🤣😂🤣😂 Great race Triathlon Dan!! Well done!! And great vid!!

Congratulations Dan! In awe as always. And amazing work on support and footage from the crew 👏🏼

Well done - I found it a hard day out . Suffered from start to finish but got it done 😀 saw Matt on the run . Next year I’m off to IM Lanza

Massive congratulations buddy

So happy Liz was filming when I shouted Triathlon Liz at her!

Great support crew work, what an amazing event. Was following on and Matts run time was stellar.

Great to see you race Dan, great having a chat with you and watch you rip up 👏👏

Must be a Welsh thing mate, I was getting ‘Stu-boy’ all the way around on the run 😂 Thanks for this vlog, it was great to reminisce, even if it was only 24 hours ago. Brutal course and conditions on the day, everyone who crossed the finish line should be proud.

Dan - you, your family and mates are just such likeable people. Congrats on getting it done.

Amazing race, congrats Dan. Thanks to Liz and Si for the great coverage in some terrible conditions. 👍

I live in Los Angeles. Went to sleep while you were in the water and woke up when you were on the run. That was my easiest Ironman ever;) Sub-4 on the run is always my, as of yet unattained, goal. 4:04 4:06 4:09. It’s tough.

Goosebumps watching the start.

Haha I shouted "GO ON DAN BOY!" as you passed me early on during the bike leg, you obliged with an over the shoulder thumbs up 👍🏻

Loved this video, I live local to tenby, i did IMW in 2015 and you've captured the whole the essence of IM wales perfectly, so much that it makes me want to do it again. Good on you Dan Boy 😂

Well done to you Dan. Fantastic coverage on an amazing race🎉. I completed many moons ago and it brought back some great memories.

Congratulations Dan, Great video and amazing job by the supporting crew 🙂

Such an epic event, massive congratulations mate ! Loved the video.

Yes Dan boy! It sounds like we had a similar race. Horrific swim, overbiked the big loop and hung on to the end, then a consistent run. Well done matey. Good to see you

Well done Dan, great effort, it's a good job you love swimming so much, not. And Matt, super running. I was following you both on the App. You got some fantastic footage from Cowbell Liz and Si Cream (with a flake). Top job all round.

Brilliant. Best event video you’ve done, well done Liz!

Brilliant video really enjoyed it thanks 👍

Now were is Triple brutal James supporting you this time

Awesome effort Dan, and what a support crew too! Enjoy those Jaffa cakes, you definitely earned them 💪

Way to make it happen in very hard conditions. Nice work buddy!!! 🙌

Amazing video Dan, very inspirational. Well done 👏. Liz had my in stitches!

A huge kudos and a awesome achievment, well done Dan. 👏👏👏

Think you may have competition Dan 😂 Loved watching all the footage with Liz and her trolley bag (definitely needs a name) She covered sooo much ground she probably did a marathon 😱 You looked so serious when I shouted good luck heading down for the swim or you’d just clocked the waves. Well done on another Ironman finish 💪🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Awesome to see some race footage. Well done mate, looked bloody tough!

What an amazing weekend.... although the swim wasn't that bad. Great to see you reppin' team ICARUS..... thanks 🙏

Awesome video Liz + Kona Si! Great job too Dan 👍 I heard there was a proposal on the finish line and seen Liz was saving her back with that cart so I put 2 and 2 together! If you were to do another full Ironman next year would you do Wales or Cork?

Liz needs her own channel, she’s a natural. But the real star of the day is the trolley. Well done Dan - great racing.

A great day out, great result for you Dan :D good to catch you briefly on the run

Kudos Dan !!! Has @Harry Palmer signed up for your 12 Week Training Program ???

Amazing Dan and all, awesome effort and congratulations 🥳 🙌🏻

Well done Dan 💪🏻👏🏻👏🏻 but do ye and Si think Ironman Youghal was tougher…… ??

I'm riding on a road bike. Would you advise TT bars. I am used to cycling TT position.

Amazing effort Dan, congratulations. Honourable mention for Liz on the commentary :)

Great video looks totally epic ! Kudos for taming that swim looks proper hard !!

Amazing work, well done for finishing that in those conditions! Really impressive, this is one on my bucket list, my mums side is Welsh! One day I'll get there for a full distance, done a middle and marathon, need to make the jump soon I think :S Such an awesome crowd supporting everyone, could feel the emotion and love everywhere.

Brilliant Dan was following you on the app 👏 💪, what happened to Harry?

Phenomenal effort Dan well done💪

This looks amazing, great crowds. Would you pick Cork or Wales if you could only do one?

Great video - your best yet. Maybe this could be your thing - grass roots view from every IM race!

Awesome video Dan and well done! Will DM for a full debrief.

12:27 How narrow!!? Great video as always

my turn in just 5 weeks.... love the vids...

Huge achievement that one mate!!👏👏. Great memories made. Although You’ll have to start cutting Liz out off the videos, she’s getting way too popular 😂.

Well done Dan… great effort

Dan, great effort and well done but Liz must be up there for her support work.👏👏 Good job by all.👍

Well done, great job out even with the awful weather!

Love the trolley!

Legend - keep on doing what your doing Danboy - when it's hurting so much and you thank people 👏👏🙌p.s boy it's like a term affection sometimes - we could use 'bach' which means small or young but not sure it would fit 💪. Well done buddy

Awesome well done

Top commentary Liz & Tri Si

Great video, great atomosphere. Liz is a mentalist! I'll have half - but only half - of what she had.

Dan. Stop blocking the road on the clmbs! :D be a good lad! :D

Well done, great video

Well done Dan ! I am jealous now I didn't come to Tenby to watch the race

Well done brilliant 🤩

That was awesome. Well done everyone

Well done Dan 😎👍👏👏

Who the fnck is that coming through at 10:58 on the hill 😳

Awesome dude 💪🏆

I want to borrow Liz with her cowbells & trolley at IMUK next year 🤔

@Si - “swim is the only flat bit”. Really? Not on Sunday it wasn’t 😂

Great video again butt. Love the tip of running with the wetsuit over your shoulders. I Ment to run with mine like a rugby ball but instead run with my pink bag, in hand like a shopping dash 😂 I've a good pic of the finisher time board, mine and your names are on there. Can send it over if you like?

Awesome! "not doing another".... See you again in 2023? 😝

Well done Dan! Very inspiring. Love that trolley
