Ironman Copenhagen 2019 - Race Day Guide

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ส.ค. 2019
  • This is an Ironman Copenhagen 2019 race day guide from the viewpoint of a triathlete who should have been racing (me) but was hit by a car 3 and a half weeks before the event!
    So I've decided that I will conquer Copenhagen in 2020 and, to get an idea of how it all works I immersed myself in the race this year, as a supporter. But rather than just me learning about the race, I thought I'd make a video giving you as much information as I can for you to visualise the race and prepare yourself for 2020 and beyond
    So join the journey, get subscribed as I negotiate my way through half marathons and marathon, triathlons to Ironman. Making content to help others achieve their goals. It's going to be a sweet ride!!

      @jamescole30 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Its great to see how you are still after the injury, I'm sure I'm not the only one who thanks you for that! I did the newark half marathon two weeks ago and smashed a PB by almost 4 mins so I was buzzing about that! My next one is in 6 weeks time the Peterborough half what's a flat pb of a maker. Maybe the biggest thing to come out of my journey so far is my daughter now does a park run every sunday what's going well she smashed a PB this morning and one thing I cant believe is the wife has started running now aswell so you might have another sub very soon, no you will 👍 😉 hope you can start running again soon.

    Disagree about the bike being flat though. The middle, rural part is pretty challenging.

      @ThisMessyHappy  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh man don’t say that!! I haven’t seen out there but the profile made it look pretty flat. Oh god 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

    Nice one mate. I’ve been getting myself in a flap as I’m doing this for my first IM next year. Managed to get a hotel booked but bricking it that it’s too far away from the swim start.. it’s near the finish line and T2. What’s the public transport like?

      @ThisMessyHappy  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Public transport is a dream, mate. That’s a perfect place to stay for the race. It’s only 10 mins from central Copenhagen and there are very regular metro trains etc. I’ll be staying central too. Good choice!
