Firstly, loved this line, “I’m the world champion at a race that goes for 4 hours.” Secondly, I prefer hot racing when it’s cold and cold racing when it’s hot! Lol

@yiruluo 2 года назад

i prefer colder climates! you can always layer up and warm up as you go and take off layers as needed. hot climates…you cant keep taking layers off at a certain point 😅

I love when its warm and cosy. I hate cold water as i can barely breath in it. The whole body is just more relaxed in the heat, but i fight to not get overheated and try to rest wet the whole time. We will miss you racing Lucy but have a good break and see you next year! 👍

@larsfriedrichs3644 2 года назад

Defenetly colder conditions. In warm I feel like I distroy myself. Done the half marathon in Hamburg at over 30 C, that was terrible. So better as cold as possible. Never got problems to run at - 10 C or colder.

@cinthyalc1162 2 года назад

HANDS DOWN FOR YOUR HUMILITY! thank you for inspiring us to do new things even when we might not look or feel comfortable

@yassinafifi815 2 года назад

I prefer racing in hot weather more than cold weather. I had a few race experiences swimming in cold water and always felt dizzy on my way out. I actually crashed on my first lap during the bike course before because I got way too dizzy from the cold. It was painful honestly but I had a laugh later on after the race. To add to that, I have no clue if there is a correlation but I actually swim better when the conditions are warm/hot. Last week during WCTS Abu Dhabi I managed to improve my time by 30 seconds... and that's a lot for a swim thats 750 Meters. I came out 20th overall and we were about 400+ athletes. In general I prefer the heat! By the way, it was an honour meeting you and taking a photo with you. Thank you for your time Lucy!

@danel3912 2 года назад

Cold conditions by far. My transpiration levels are much higher in the hot, so cramping and GI issues come easier. Furthermore, if you are mentally prepared to handle rain or hard conditions, you have already won lots of positions in the final ranking before the race starts because usually people don't like to perform in the rain or cold

@olivergunning5355 2 года назад

Awesome to watch in person, we’ll done 💪💪

@matejmedveczky6792 2 года назад

I like warm weather racing more. Partly because its much easier to warm up and do all the pre-race stuff when its not 12C outside and partly because I hate riding and running with bare feet in the cold.

@kale-u7p 2 года назад

I love racing in "perfect weather". Not too hot, not too cold! I started triathlon in Australia so it was very hot but the weather was always beautiful. Swimming in the beautiful sea on the Gold Coast, riding along the wide roads and running beside the beach is ALWAYS more enjoyeable when the sun is out. When it is raining, I'm constantly worrying about how wet everything is going to be by the time I get to transition. Rain makes everything harder for my parents supporting me on scene too :)

@juliesmith8644 2 года назад

it's so fun watching you try different events. if you were representing almost any other country, you'd be a shoe in for Paris. great britain's women's field so kick ass!

@gourami7 2 года назад

GB women strong at all distances especially long distance, probably should have GB Collins Cup

@ChloeMartinBrown 2 года назад

Loving to watch the learning curve of long to short course, fascinating. Gimme cold weather racing any day, I can add all the layers, but there's only so much kit I can strip off and stay legal in the heat ;)

@coachjohn 2 года назад

I have become addicted to your channel and seeing your progression as an athlete and your on screen presence. As per your question about hot or cold racing I definatel prefer hot weather because I'm from Florida. I have raced hot and cold in all distances and prefer heat management over trying to keep my core warm. But seriously give me partly cloudy and 70° (21°c) with no wind anyday...

@EnduranceQuestKavi 2 года назад

I personally prefer Hot climate for race for following reasons : 1. Faster T1 as there is no wet suit to worry about . 2. No cold air shock to the core system during the bike leg . 3. Lesser training and event gear required . 4. Warm up duration required is lesser as compared to cold climate condition . 5. Can enjoy ice cold water as part of hydration. 6. You can slack off a bit during aero position on the bike as hotter air is less denser as compared to colder air .

@janebailey 2 года назад

Definitely hot! I'm not the fastest and (even with bribes of cocoa) there's a limit to how long you can ask your support team to hang around for you when its cold and wet out.

@jamesroberts6061 2 года назад

I like the cold, for racing and training, it feels less sweat and you can just ease in and not be as hot. Its liek running in the cold is cold when you start but it feels nice after you get a little warmed up, but you dont overheat as easily.

@aw1273 2 года назад

Hey Lucy, thanks so much for this video! I was waiting for this one so impatiently. I saw your race in Abu Dhabi on tv and was cheering you and GTB. Kudos to your great T1. Thanks for sharing your tactics and insights of your race here. This is not typical, so I really appreciate it. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that, when you train to improve your VO2 max to being able to push those quick kicks to stay in the pack is not going to have a negative effect on your long-race endurance skills. I really want to see you win Kona 2022. I believe you can crush it next year! I actually love to train in the heat, however I always preferred to race in the cold - ideally with wind. This always gave me an advantage whereas the heat had its toll. A really big fan of Team CB😊

@SubtleForces 2 года назад

I live in Canada so I have a clear preference for ...hot weather. You can only like cold weather when it never gets really cold and when the cold doesn't last for a long time. The only good thing about running in the cold this morning? It felt acceptable to nap 90 minutes under a warm blanket.

@JoseMartinez-oj3fg 2 года назад

World champion of a 4-hr race and soon of an 8-hr race too! Keep up the hard work! HOT racing is the best! Pouring all that water on your head when passing through an aid station is sooo refreshing, haha! Some even have water hoses to spray people, those are legit! haha!

@cotte1985 2 года назад

Great race recap. Without a doubt racing and training in hot climate. From England but lived in Texas for 15 years, it’s always feels a luxury to be able to train in the heat and even humidity. Definitely acclimatized and a wimp in the cold

@dariadupont7735 2 года назад

I looooooove training in cold and rainy weather! A post run / race coffee makes you feel all warm and cozy after 🥰

@giusepperusso9198 2 года назад

Hi Lucy… first of all I would like to thank you for taking picture with me and my family… really impressed about your amazing joy… which I am sure each fan loved… well I can definitely say, after 11 years leaving in UAE 🇦🇪 that racing in colder climate is much more enjoyable; in fact some how you can protect yourself while when it is hot and humid there little you can do… I would add that it also improves performances… I can feel it every time I fly back to Europe… I wish you all the best for the future and, as I was sure about your success on WC 70.3, I am super confident I will see you at the Olympic in Paris…the IM WC title is already in the pipeline 💪💪💪

@mipal7 2 года назад

Hot weather racing! It truly separates the men from the boys! Plus, you can drink a lot before, during and after. And take too many trips to the bathroom. LOL!

@felicitylee9650 2 года назад

Hot weather! Can’t beat the Tri suit tan lines 😂

@ThePash69 2 года назад

Absolutely love training in hot weather. Knowing your out in the sun means your on holiday double bonus.. plus been from Yorkshire we don't see much sun 🙃😘

Great race Lucy, keep refining those technical skills and you’ll be in the mix

@lauraungarova6703 2 года назад

Here in Kazakhstan we have winter triathlon- run>bike>ski , it is usually -20/25 C. So, your arms and foods are frozen and you cannot move properly. So, “cold” European stars are perfect for me )

@charlottebrodeur6674 2 года назад

Great video! I prefer racing in the heat since the majority of people suffer and I usually catch a lot of them in the run ;)

@henrikmortensen3285 2 года назад

congratulations on 12th place. I think it was a great performance between competitors who have short distances as their specialty. nice to see the mix of training and competition. about what went well and what can be improved. keep it coming I like the idea of racing in warmer weather. but hot weather over 25c and then I do not feel so hot. I prefer around 18 - 20 degrees and drizzle. drizzle gets me in my happy place

@thomask2092 2 года назад

Definitly warmer conditions. I struggle a lot with cold conditions by getting cold hands, cold feet, shivering and so on. I even have to wear gloves when it is around 7-10°C :D I always think people are mad when wearing shortsleeves without gloves in freezing conditions. So definitly warm conditions. And i also think that i can cope warmer conditions pretty good just as you said.

@paulcann1962 2 года назад

Just returning to triathlon aged 68 from cycling always prefer hot weather racing/training as it means less kit to consider and the sun always gives that feel good factor.

@janagolisova1661 2 года назад

Hello Lucy, I prefer to race or train in hot climate, because I don't like the winter and cold wheater. Once when I ran my face froze and I had icecles.

@justinetitko5434 2 года назад

Cold weather for sure! You can only take off so many articles of clothing, but you can add more if needed 😅

@efoley4151 2 года назад

Have to choose hot 🔥 I find it hard to remember hydration and nutrition in the cold, and lungs take a while to warm up and get in the rhythm. Cold swims are torturous. And there's nothing worse than freezing cold hands on the bike or running with two ice blocks as feet (a literal brick session) 🙈 Loved watching you race in short course again! Keep up the amazing work, putting pressure on those other athletes!!

@michaeldelashmit8262 2 года назад

Cold climate! I’d rather swim with the wetsuit and deal with shucking it in T1. Plus, it feels so much better to push that last bit harder in the cool air without the added risk of overheating in the warmer weather.

@rachelb5530 2 года назад

Colder weather racing for me!! Unlike you Lucy, I don’t do well in the heat (perhaps the sauna is something I should incorporate into my training 🤔). Living in Canada, I do a lot of winter running, cross-country skiing, etc and really struggle during the summer heat waves. Love the video, and watching you figure out short distance racing!

@harriethenderson456 2 года назад

Definitely hot weather! Love the feeling of coming out of the water and transitioning on to the bike and feeling the warm air on your legs. Means there's no need to warm up and you can get straight to work on leg 2 of the race!

@DarshanBatavia 2 года назад

happy to see the upload :) I personally prefer to bike in medium cold weather. Extreme cold (below 8°C) requires extra clothing and warmer weather leads to quick dehydration. For the run, the cold weather is better suited since the body gets pretty warm. But I hate cold water swim 😂

@ST0NERGUN1 2 года назад

Living in the deepest parts of Cornwall, England, I rarely have the choice to race in anything other than near hurricane conditions. I will happily settle for any temperature as long as it isn't windy! :)

@erikasantiago5227 2 года назад

I am from PH, so I love racing in hot weather. I've learned to embrace the warmth of the sun and enjoy being out to train. Congratulations on winning the Abu Dhabi race, Lucy! You are my inspiration xoxo

Definitely hot conditions, love the sweat. If there's no sweat afterwards, it doesn't feel like I gave it all and worthless

@dpurnell8376 2 года назад

Defo cold racing. Nothing better than adding to those pre race nerves by freezing your knackers off too 😂

@CandidatePay 2 года назад

Cold! I’m from Canada and just did my first triathlon (im70.3) in Washington in September and it was 11 degrees and rainy! I felt so comfortable in my tri suit :) then I did my first half marathon a month later back in Canada and it was cold again and I felt great! Not a hot weather racer like you Lucy!! :p :)

@musicalix 2 года назад

Warm, overall. Individually I prefer running in colder weather, but for the bike, I definitely prefer warmer. Because the ride takes more time, the balance is on the warmer side.

@artandrock4all 2 года назад

Being Born and raised in a Mediterranean country hot climate is what you can only get and you better make it work for you. Great video once again, feeling the good vibes there 👍 keep up the good work

@johnauld9851 2 года назад

I prefer cold weather. Cross country! You can always put more clothes on to stay warm, but there’s only so much you can take off to stay cool.

@chroniclesofalazyriderbyde9504 2 года назад

Had that dismount issue whereby the shoe gave way when I step on it with one foot. I overcame it by tightening the clip tension on left pedal to prevent the shoe from slipping off the pedal again for my follow up races.

@fabioparadisi4561 2 года назад

I prefer warm condition. Firstly I could appreciate better the freeze beer that my friend will pass me after the finish line. Seriously warm is the weather that you find in Kona, the place where I dream to race one day

@marcusbroadwater9529 2 года назад

I prefer to train in the heat but tend to have better times on race day in cold weather. No idea why but I’ll take it.

@anibalhernandez6858 2 года назад

Lucy - thank you for sharing all your knowledge in this sport. It's very beneficial for my wife and me. I'm from Florida, so definitely warm weather ☀️ is my preferred I need to feel warm and sweaty all the time.

@jamesshelley6478 2 года назад

Brilliant racing Lucy!! Shame about the little slip on the bike but your smashing it!! So although I havnt ever raced before I would prefer to race in colder than hotter. However, watching your videos you have inspired me so much to want to try triathlon. I currently run but no way as fast as you but would love to get more into swimming and start to train for a race. Maybe your swim cap could help me 😉anyway well done again. Thanks x

@anyabishop2211 2 года назад

I would pick warm weather to race in because I’m usually so cold every time I’m out on my bike or running in the UK so the warm weather gives me an advantage of being a normal temperature! Also gives you a change to get a tan!

Cold weather racing for the run but hot for the swim and bike.Though a wetsuit swim is always easier.Great videos keep them coming in the offseason.

@joycengo4408 2 года назад

living in South East Asia, definitely love racing in colder climate as we performed better in lower temperature... I always have better timing in races with lower temp...

@deborahjames8644 2 года назад

Please, please, please come and race on the Gold Coast Australia, Lucy. You will love it (as I do). Its hot, but not as hot and humid as Kona and its certainly not cold like England. The best temperature and will be perfect to see you race here and hopefully meet you in person 🙂

@lucycrowhurst5514 2 года назад

Hay my daughter (17 years old) raced their too on that Friday for Great Britain in her first ever ParaTriathlon World Champs and like you her aim was to make it round safely and learn and grow from the experience. Certainly different racing in the heat but great to race on the formula one track on a tandem

@obaidalkaz2527 2 года назад

Love the hot weather , I loved your way of saying its experience to learn from it , I would love to do triathlon in UK 🇬🇧

@leoniebauer5918 2 года назад

Hey Lucy! 😍 I like racing in hot conditions better because my trisuit dries faster after swimming :D just until I sweat so much that it’s all wet again… but heat is just my thing. Love you! (And Lola of course ;) )

@megmikerodriguez6011 2 года назад

It's inspiring to watch you pushing out of your comfort zone, Lucy; great racing! And way to save it in T2...my heart was in my mouth watching you battle through that! As far as fav weather, I live in central NY and we get EVERY kind here which is wonderful. I adore all seasons! But for racing I must admit that I prefer temps right comfortably in the middle, hehe! If it's going to be facing an extreme, then I'll go with the cooler end...completed my very first sprint tri in 50 degree water, brrrrr that keeps you moving! :D God bless your future journey and thanks for letting us all tag along with you on youtube! ~Megan

@danielcavanagh4110 2 года назад

I like cooler weather racing due to the fact you can always shed layers if you get too warm. In hot races you are limited on how many layers you can get rid of until there’s an underwear triathlon series someday!

@scottlawrence635 2 года назад

My last Sprint was 7C/44F and I put in my best performance. For me, that's a cold race, especially after T1 and getting on the bike all wet. It didn't take too long to warm up. Though, I prefer to train when it's warmer. After losing 130lbs, I don't have enough body mass to keep me warm and I get cold easy.

@ElianOlala 2 года назад

Cold weather with hot water is just perfect 🤩

@lujif.s2567 2 года назад

I started triatlon trainning two years ago and LOVE your channel! I'd rather train in the heat. I don't like to wear many layers of clothing, I prefer to go only with shorts and a sportsbra. Besides, there is nothing better than feeling super warm after trainning and having something fresh to drink! Greetings from Spain!

@keithgerkens8943 2 года назад

I absolutely prefer racing in cooler climate races. As a Clydesdale racer, I have always had a hard time in the heat. My ability to dissipate the heat with a larger frame body has always been a challenge.

@jurgenshayes4989 2 года назад

Great race and you will only get better as you define those skills 💪 the more you train the luckier you get 😄. Racing in cold weather, it might start out cold however as the race progresses you warm up, being able to push harder to stay warm and little chance of over heating ☃️

@juliusrudenas5411 2 года назад

Hot or cold, wet or dry - running is always fun & exciting !!!

@jeromeibanez2891 2 года назад

Cold weather!! Running I got weather is super tough for me, specially after the swim/bike and tired legs.

@leobrendle8380 2 года назад

Very nice video it's amazing to watch these girls taking corners like they do. I do like racing in cold weather because I find it mentally easier and you can perform better with the cooldown effect if it's not freezing cold even if I'm better at hot races thanks to hours spent on Zwift with my 10$ fan. Have a good off-season.

@heathermcdonell1492 2 года назад

Perhaps it's because I'm Canadian, but I seem to race better in colder weather. You can always put more layers on, but in the heat there comes a point where you just have to sweat it out. Some of my best races have come when it was so cold I couldn't feel my feet when dismounting the bike and starting the run...

Love this video. Thx for sharing your adventures. My mind thinks colder weather but my race results say warm weather lol! 🤪

@maeveroach8668 2 года назад

If I had to pick I would say cold weather because 1. My battle braids don’t turn into a crazy birds nest like they do in hot/humid (😂) and 2. Once you start to numb a little from the cold i feel like it covers up some of the muscular fatigue so you can dig a little deeper!

@ellysykes6277 2 года назад

Defo hot! Least if it hot I’ll get in the water to swim. Nothing worse than having to jump in the water when it’s freezing! Omg 😱

@taylorwalsh3871 2 года назад

Cold climate. I am a bigger athlete and really struggle to stay cool on hot runs and find over heating on the run one of the most demoralizing experiences in racing. That being said, I raced lake placid a few years ago where it was right at freezing on the bike and trying to find last minute adaptions or packable adaptions to extreme cold is very difficult. In all give me a colder race over a warmer race because I can put on layers but can only get so naked for a race.

Hot conditions because although you suffer more, you finish with a tan :D

@moniquestander1936 2 года назад

That is a tough question! But I am going for hot weather. I feel there is a lot one can do to cool the body down but much fewer options when the body is cooling down - this is especially problematic considering you getting wet on the bike. In a cold climate, getting wet on the bike is the absolute worst for me. And let's not forget about those frozen toes. So, I am opting for hot. Dry-hot. (not humid hot)

@Jameslindley123 2 года назад

Amazing job Lucy! There is no growth in comfort! I personally prefer racing in the heat, I can regulate my temperature better using fluids etc, compared to the numbness and pains that can come from being in the cold... then again, being in the UK - we don't have much of a choice!! x Keep strong and safe everyone!

@haydenleeds6765 2 года назад

As someone who grew up in the mountains and whose first sport was cross country skiing, I’ve got to say the colder climate. That being said, I’m hoping all that swimming in mountain lakes will prepare me for the cold swim at Ironman 70.3 Indian Wells in December 🥶

@chadwaddington4488 2 года назад

Its definitely cold for me. When I'm overheating there's almost nothing to be done and GI issues or cramps usually follow. . In colder weather you can always add layers. The only thing about cold weather racing/training is that you can't stop. Take a break and your body temp just plummets due to the sweat and that can be difficult to come back from.

@Chezo9t3 2 года назад

Cold weather!! 1. I've got ginger hair and don't cope well in the heat, 2. I've got crohns disease and my medication means I'm more susceptible to sunburn and 3. I'm from Pembrokeshire, Wales and its always cold and rainy!!

Hot climate. I have a strong tactical advantage in the hot weather, especially since I train in Houston, TX, where it stays very hot and humid 10 months out of the year. When you live in a hot climate, you really do get very used to it. If I really want to push the fatigue factor, I will go out when the sun is out :-D

@mollyspark2519 2 года назад

Heyy Lucy!! Awesome effort on your first sprint race- that's an amazing result. I have always loved racing and training in the heat!! The heat gives me a great tan haha!! But I am also an adventure racer and my races and training go for days on end and when your gear gets wet, it's a NIGHTMARE!! Not only that, but my fingers also freeze and I can even do up my jacket !! Plus you have to carry more gear with you and when you have to carry all your gear like a lifejacket, helmet, food, water, etc, your pack gets pretty heavy!! Have an amazing day :)

@miriamsalo7123 2 года назад

Prefer somewhere in the middle but if you had to choose, colder rather than hotter. I sweat like a pig so no fun. Look forward to seeing you race more short course!

@richardmcculloch5504 2 года назад

I always sign up for race in warm climates as they look amazing and you get a good holiday afterwards, but as I’m Scottish and turn pink at the slightest hint of sunshine, I don’t race well in the heat so do better in cooler climates.

@baileyclark8783 2 года назад

I have only ever raced in England and it was raining! Which was nice as it kept me cool I guess! But I think I’d rather race in the heat..might suffer a bit more but who doesn’t love a tan?

@harkeydw 2 года назад

Amazing race Lucy! We really enjoy following you through your experiences. So true about Abu Dhabi and taking away valuable learnings. My wife and I love to race in the heat....it means after the event we are probably in an amazing location where we can spend time together enjoying that post-race sense of accomplishment together. We are competitive, not professional so it's all about the experiences and journey as a couple!! September was IM Chattanooga then a week on the beach in Florida (on the IM Florida course)! Thank you for everything you do. You continue to inspire us everyday. Much love and gratitude :)
