It was very hard but looking back definitely not the hardest thing I’ve done, everything in the moment seems more difficult when it fresh. The quad cramp definitely didn’t help ha.
@@richfroning5156yep, in the moment, it's difficult and each new challenge always seems hardest. Faith to Faith and glory to glory... one, step at a time.
Rich, I was waiting to read that.. 'not the hardest thing'. After any such course you feel like you got run over by a bus. Been there.. In hindsight, you've been run over by a train before (or a couple) Great job! #constantlyvaried
I don't know when Rory got a beard, but I'm starting the petition right now for him to grow it out until Christmas to be the most jacked Santa of all time.
@@jmetallicad yeah, depends on what his aerobic window looks like, if he’s resting HR is at 38/40bpm then him at 145 is us at maxhr, though there are some athletes who’ve never done cardio output training and run hot like non trained people but can sustain that high HR for a long time.
So many decent brands out there. Specialized, Trek, Cannondale, some of Diamondback's stuff, Canyon, Santa Cruz... All depends on what you want to spend but most brands carried at actual bike shops are fine
I bumped into my Superfly 100 in the garage and thought to myself "self, it's been quite some time since I took this out and raced XTERRA." Then when I opened up TH-cam this video popped up front & center. Coincidence?
I think it's ironic Rich had Corinthians 6-14 tattooed on his side. Dude has been getting yoked with other people as a career! Jk, fun video, thanks for the inspiration CFM
Those heart rate numbers are world-class. Oh wait, he's world-class! He should looking into becoming the greatest athlete in the world or something like that.
Rich...only one cuestion: do you drink a coke at the end of the race??? Is a normal coke or is the cocacola hydro power recovery limited edition by rich froning jr. ? 😆

@@jpg7616 True. It was probs a misread. Its just a whoop strap. like, standing in front a fan sets that thing off sometimes. Or he was about to go into vfib X.x
Dre is back over and over and over
Good to see Dre back!
What a fun story for the rest of the competitors too. "Ya so I'm at this triathalon and a bunch of muscle dudes who up. Guy nearly beat me!"
Camera guy: hey rich what are you guys doing
Rich:👀
Camera guy: well I know what you guys doing
Rich: oh 😂
4:07 "You are out now" 🤣
got him
Would love to see then vs now frantasy land. That would be awesome
That is a great idea
@@CFProjectMayhem for you
@@richfroning5156 haha 😂
Looks like Nick bare has some competition 😬
I would love to see Rich and Nick collaborate
Nicks on another level
They could pin each other
@@ossyfuentes2165 Nick can run but he likely can’t hold a candle to anything else Rich can do.
Rich was like... "That was the hardest thing I've ever done"... first attempt podium.

That was a sprint. How you gonna call hard a “sprint” triathlon? Lol
Yo, when he said that I was like, "4-time World's Fittest Man?... yeah, i'm never doing a triathalon" LOL

I vote for Rory to be the next Dos Equis man!!!
Nope I am already
We second that
Yes! Good call!
I don't know when Rory got a beard, but I'm starting the petition right now for him to grow it out until Christmas to be the most jacked Santa of all time.
No that would Albie Mushaney as the most jacked Santa.
@@damonduncan2779 I stand corrected.
Why do you always steal my dreams, Damon?
That helmet choice is hilarious 😂
Hahaha Love to see Rich get stuck in the clips 😂
Always make sure your cleats are tight before you ride.
It happens to everyone haha
@@richfroning5156 that bike trail looked amazing!
This crew is just nuts.
They are!
Awesome content!! Love watching Rich do work and compete! Awesome video
Rich Froning and Cam Hanes collaboration!!!
2:22 Rich takin a piss
Rich 'The Juice' Froning, back at it again
I can't help but laugh. 168bpm average heart rate for 2hr and 48min is actual insanity. Way to keep pushing through it.
It was a tough one
Go and check Lionel Sanders, that guy HR is crazy low while pushing insane watts on the bike.
@@justtestingonce His max HR is also only around 180 though so when hes sitting at 120 its like the rest of us around 145 haha
@@jmetallicad yeah, depends on what his aerobic window looks like, if he’s resting HR is at 38/40bpm then him at 145 is us at maxhr, though there are some athletes who’ve never done cardio output training and run hot like non trained people but can sustain that high HR for a long time.
168 is low' depends of your max hr
Ro, that beard is looking legit.
Froning! 👍n importe quelle sports⚽🏀🏈⚾ un champion pour de vrai. Salam ailaykoum
Such a beast!!
Which exact mountainbike is that?
On most SPD peddles, you can adjust the tightness of your clip on your peddle.
It was the cleat on the bottom of my shoe was loose.
Rory lookin like Josh Brolin... what a stud!
What kinda bikes are these guys using? Just a few decent brands would be helpful I’m just starting to look for one.
Rich is on a Specialized!
So many decent brands out there. Specialized, Trek, Cannondale, some of Diamondback's stuff, Canyon, Santa Cruz... All depends on what you want to spend but most brands carried at actual bike shops are fine
You should just go around the world and compete in crazy physical endeavors. Ninja warrior next ?

He’s trying to match that iron cowboy level of fitness 😎
What type of mountain bike does Rich and everyone use? Any additional upgrades besides the dropper post and clip on pedals?
Specialized Epic Pro
Rich is on a Specialized Epic Pro! Upgrades include fox dropper, Shimano pedals, and ENVE bars. It also comes stock with SRAM AXS shifting.
@@CFProjectMayhem Tell Rich to try SRAM grip shifts… game changers
@@richfroning5156 thank you Sir!
What watch is Rich wearing at the start of the video?
Were you wearing the Airwaav? do you think that would have helped at all?
Great video much needed. But one-hundred sixty-nine above average threshold? The date must be triathlon season.
Looks fun!
Is Rich Froning powered by a nuclear reactor?
For sure
Seeing Rory getting old makes me feel old and realized how long the sport has been around😂
Nice edition!
What cameras do you guys use for the helmets?
The funniest thing he ever said is I doubt steroids would even give you an edge in CrossFit lol.
It don’t help you ride a bike that’s for sure.
Unbelievable! 🙌
Better tap up Specialized for some mud guards next
A little mud never hurt anybody
Anyone know what watch Rich was using for the triathlon ?
Used Garmin Fenix 5
@@richfroning5156 Awesome thanks Rich keep killing it dude !
What was the distances on all 3
Swim
Bike
Run ?
Thanks
800 swim
19 mile bike
3.5 mile run (hike)
@@richfroning5156 thankyou 🤝
is it practical being that big for triathlons?

splits?
13:30 Nice! 😏
Those heart rate numbers are world-class. Oh wait, he's world-class! He should looking into becoming the greatest athlete in the world or something like that.
Bib shorts are the best. For long rides in the saddle. They suck for Tri. And for us mortals they hide the muffin top.
Full face helmet?!
Why are these guys using clips. A nice set of flats work just as well.
You have a lot more control with clips .
Mom jeans lol
What was the distance for each leg?
why clip in pedals haha
More power and control
What was his time?
2:43
@@richfroning5156 thanks, man!
If Rich’s max heart rate is over 205, what is his resting heart rate? Would love to know how many bpm that increase is…
Proably sth in between 50 and 60bpm.
Machine Rich
Happy to snatch 305lb above his head but wears a full face for the blue trial.
Why is Rich wearing a downhill helmet??
Rich...only one cuestion: do you drink a coke at the end of the race??? Is a normal coke or is the cocacola hydro power recovery limited edition by rich froning jr. ? 😆
Sir, I wear Lee’s.....
How about doing a proper Ironman?
Was someone peeing in the background near the truck?
Dre is so small now
...just amazing that so heavy guys can do this! I just go couple of pounds and I feel that everything hurts! Wow, no face mask...I'm not a Demo...., but...
His knees are done. You can see it
One woman beat Rich. Fittest man in history? Hmmmmmm
Well nothing new for Rich..this is Crossfit too!!
CrossFit makes you good in everything, but not exactly the best at something!
And his PEDS for sure help
he shouldn't be able to hit 208 HR at that age he's old. But perhaps a witch?
