Thanks 👍, how did your team mates get on?

That's great to hear, thanks very much. Feel free to share with your friends 😜😁

Hi. Thanks. Those 8 places are reserved for pre-qualification, either for people who have ranked highly in the last European championships or people who have deferred a year at the discretion of the BTF. I don't think those 8 spaces get rolled down if they aren't allocated. I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's just the 12 spots that are eligible for roll down.

Yes it's all learning & a good training session!! 😀

@ampgb223 it's my first mechanical in 54 races, so I can't complain too much!!

Thanks. I know my numbers in training suggest I can do better, just got to string it together 🤞

Cheers, getting there!

😂That is absolutely the best way to avoid it!! Sadly I have a race in 2 weeks, so have no choice but to put my big girl pants on & get on with it 🙈

Yes Definitely, I've worn them at least twice a week for a couple of months now. Learnt that I can loosen them off a bit & they still don't leak. I would definitely buy these again 👍

They should give you royalties, I just ordered it after seeing your video! Thanks again ✌

They should give me a discount on my next pair 😂

It should have been 400m 🙈

@@triathlondebs okay cool i was seeing your guys times and saw the word sprint so I was like omg I am the worlds slowest swimmer ever.

@@Ice242424 Are you used to doing open water sprints at 750m?

@triathlondebs yeah pool swims though that are 700m to 800m

What country are you in?

Absolutely, that's why I always do an early season race. You can train all you like, but it doesn't get you that race sharpness.

Thanks mate 😂

I've looked at last year's time & 5th place is a possibility for me. I don't think I could get my time down to the 4th place qualifying by the first qualifier, but I'm hoping I could possibly get a roll down spot as less & less people are being BTF members & not everyone wants to pay to go & race abroad. The sea swim at SWYD is my biggest potential hurdle, I've only ever raced in rivers & lakes.

@@triathlondebsthat’s fantastic you are one of the fast ones in your agegroup,, which having looked at last year’s qualifying was stacked with 30 athletes trying to qualify. As you your near the pointy end, the other tactics don’t really count for much as you know you need to focus on getting to each start line in your best shape, racing as hard as where your at at that time of the season will allow. Good luck you’ll smash it.

Thanks very much, I just want to help make triathlon achievable for as many people as possible

Hi, yes I can look into that 👍 Good luck for East Leake, you're going to smash it 👊

No, I haven't. This is my first time trying. If you have any further tips I would love to hear them ☺️

Thanks, that's a really good point about Iron. I've just looked through my iron & it's been terrible except when I have Weetabix. What high iron foods would you recommend for vegetarian?

There aren't specific qualifying times, it's based on position

Thank you! 😃

I can't believe it's the first one I've had when I've been racing for like 14 years 🙈

I find them really helpful to do about 3 or 4 times a year. I generally push harder than what my CSS says to during training, but I find tracking my 400m time quite a reliable indicator of my swim fitness. Even if I'm doing middle distance races.

I'm not there yet, but better than I was thanks. Slow road to recovery with this one I'm afraid 😔

Happy New Year to you too. Hopefully lots of content to come next year 🤞

I'm always on the good list 😇 I think the fact that Mark vlogs too there maybe a slight ulterior motive 😂

Hi. Yes it's loads better now thanks. It still niggles a bit, but it's not really stopping me training now

I could only keep up with them for 100m 🤣

Thanks, I really enjoyed that race. It's nice to go back down to a sprint after 70.3

It's a great race, I really enjoy it

Thank you!

Mark was stood next to you for ages at the bike mount, but didn't say hello 🙈

Thank you Liz, she loved it 🤗

2 scoops per bottle

@@triathlondebs maybe I felt sluggish on outlaw half run because I put ten in each bottle 😂

Yes that might make you feel a bit ropey. Huge carb boost, followed by a big drop. They recommend 2-3 scoops per bottle

Its hard to resist the temptation to unpack the bag 🤣

It's the first time I'm doing it, but a friend of mine always does it & says they are fine 👍

It's really annoying, when it says it is. Trying to figure out now if I can just get a replacement screen

Thanks

She gets her artistic side from Mark 😂

What can I say, I'm the only person who dresses up to go out, then dresses it down by adding a chest strap 😂
