We Let A Triathlete Plan A Road Ride & This Is What Happened…
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ต.ค. 2024
- After a failed experiment last year taking our mountain biking colleagues on a road ride, we thought it was maybe better to ask our friend Mark from @gtn if he’d like to come on a ride. After all, triathlon includes road cycling, so surely nothing could go wrong if we let a triathlete plan a road ride? Let's just say Conor didn’t know what he was getting himself into!

What would you like to see Conor plan for Mark to get his own back?
Basketball.
A bunch ride
Basketball on bikes with brunch AND conversation!
Powerlifting
Tandem cycling
Connor is a great cyclist but astounding comedian!
Gcn has top notch talent. I don't even cycle and I watch all their content because it's so entertaining.
I’m in tears of laughter and recognition of all that screaming as you got into the cold water!! Loving all the humour!! 😂
Haha Midgie, we didn't think it was possible for a human to make a sound that high pitched!! 🙉
😂 who knew Connor and Mark were the new comedy double act
Glad you enjoyed the banter Paul!
GCN BOARD MEETING: “Right, seeing as we finally broke Hank on the tandem ride we need to rethink things. As Conor isn’t here for this meeting, he therefore is recommended as the next victim, sorry we mean volunteer for the latest excruciating challenge with GTN. It promises to break him. Hank are you able to deliver the news?!”
HANK: “I’d love to…”
😂😂😂😂
Enjoyed this immensely! Former IM’er and now doing randonneuring the differences we’re called out in this video Connor is such a funny guy - great channel! 😊👍
💯💯💯
Thanks Leo - glad you enjoyed it!
Good sport Conor doing all the activities. Your voice sure did go higher when you hit that water 💧 🤣 top bloke
Brilliant, loved this , Connor absolutely the person for this one. Love the fact he doesn't take himself seriously.
Cheers Graham - glad you enjoyed the vid! 👍
As a cyclist taking up tri, I laughed my ass off at this one. Great work Mark and Conor.
Always enjoy these cross-over videos. Great way to start my Sunday morning.
Thanks Jeffrey - we had fun making it too!
I like these cross channel videos. More please, also still waiting on Hank, Manon, and Alex try of a triathlon. They did mention swimming in the duathlon video lol
Thank you for your kind words, And we will definitely take your feedback on board!
This happened to me yesterday - joined a friend and his group that does iron man distance events regularly. The fastest guys on tri bikes, me on my road bike. 105 miles of fun...
I can confirm that triathletes do it this way. A former coworker went on a bike ride to a lake, swam through it 1,5, times and ran back around the lake 1,5 times to his bike and then rode home.. just a couple times a week, nothing fancy.. to be real though.3-5 times a week.. easy 40k ride, 2k swim and 6-8k run.. 😱 amazing what they can do..
Truly
Can confirm this is an exact replica of a typical Sunday training sesh. A bit nicer in NZ in the summer tho!!!! And Lake Taupo a much nicer location..
Those bloody triathletes. They train for cycling, running and swimming so you figure as a roadie, you got a advantage over them as a specialist. But noooooo, these guys are so notoriously fit that they still drop you every time. Dream-crushing-buggers.
Oh, this was comedy but also so damned accurate. As a roadie who used to train with triathletes, the lack of chat and the full on full aero, the inability to ride in straight lines or corner. Hilarious.
Thanks - Glad you enjoyed it!!
Let's see Manon and Heather do something like this, that might be pure comedy gold
You guys are motivation lifeline for many people. So much motivation on a daily basis. And comedy in addition to that!? Cant beat that!
Thanks Sumit - nice to hear we're motivating you! 👍
This is the best cycling channel I have seen, thank you so much for all the chuckles I haver had watching this. From a triathlete!
I have never laughed as much as Connor telling MARK! CAFE!
Haha, glad you enjoyed the video Angela!
@6:10 "oh myyyy legss" I frigging HOWLEEDDD xD hahahaha
I'm game with a triathlete planning a group ride, but for the life of me I'm not too keen in bringing a shoe bag for my running/trail shoes. Trunks, soap, shampoo and a microfiber bath towel I can handle, but my budget running shoes are kinda heavy, for my liking.
And yeah, short, clean open water exercises are more my cup of tea than trotting on paved roads.
Got to admit, guilty as charged! 😂
It’s why I always ride solo, I don’t like waiting or keeping up with others, I always go for a run after, and alternate swim and gym sessions is the mornings.
Fair play to Mark from GTN for being a good sport and having the mickey taken, and Connor for taking some stick and the cold water.
Or as he will be known henceforth Mr Shrivells (if your a man and you’ve swum in cold water you know). 😂
Very enjoyable video and a great crossover. GCN got me into cycling. GTN got me into triathlon. I now consider myself more like Mark than like Connor (only much less fit that both!).
Thanks Oliver - great to hear how we've inspired you to ride, run & swim!!
That cold water should have certainly done something!!! The top guys sit in a tub with ice cubes!! Nice one!!
Stereotypically correct in every way😂
Genuinely lol at bits in this! Good job.
The thumbnail looks like youre doing hissing vampire cosplay. 😂
Should do these cross overs more often. GTN need a bit of comedy in their shows like GCN. Marks really good with Connor.
Triathlon really is a way of life. I used to work with a girl who did tris and, with 3 disciplines to train for, she was always doing something. Crazy stuff.
Thought my screen was going to sleep at the crashes list fade down😄
I love this! More crossovers! Grab those rowers and do a workout then swap!
For sure! Glad you enjoyed!
Thanks Conor for showing us the lighter side of cycling. I highly enjoyed this. Also, thanks to GTN and Mark for yet another twist in the world of cycling media. Well done guys. And maybe head to Mallorca for retake.😁
Thank you Steve - glad you enjoyed the content!
You deserve a hug right now.
Really enjoyed this. Proper kudos to Connor, that water looked freezing.
Connor was like a confused puppy the entire time. It's great.
Great watch Connor, brilliant combo👍🏼 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Absolutely brilliant, great Sunday morning viewing
at the moment I am sure that I am not alone in that my you tube page is more sober and frankly hard to watch with what's happening , a nice easy to watch fun video is exactly what we need
I love how daft these videos are. Absolute gold!
12:03-12:09 I don't know what did he say but those were the funniest seconds of any GCN video I have ever seen. :D
I do duathlon. Run to bike is alot better than bike to run. After run you can feel you ride easier.
I need a GTN alert on this, glad I found it, great stuff guys!!
You should! We're glad you enjoyed the video!
It’s the law that whenever you get in open water someone says “it’s tropical” and everyone laughs
Never really thought about it but I use to ride weekends with cycling club regularly but since doing Tri I tend to ride solo ! Guess it's because in Tri it's normally non drafting so no good riding Behind people in training as it shock to system LOL
Any way never only ever done run off bike for short 1-2km in training to void wobbly legs just before race day :-)
Fabulous video, thoroughly enjoyed it, Connor entering that cold water was classic, I just did my first cold water dip yesterday and had a wetsuit on, and fully empathise with Connor's face :)
Glad you enjoyed it, That initial cold feeling is very daunting 🥶
@@gcn so glad I gave it a try, not sure I want to do it again :)
Enjoyed this. Would like to see more vids from the 2 of these guys. Great chemistry
Thanks Ryan - we're sure Conor will want to plan something for Mark to get his own back!
I am always amazed at how triathletes and time trialists can maintain that position and still control the bike.
@ 6:40 Corner, Conor…Whoa 😂😂
This is a very accurate depiction of triathletes
oh of course
That was funny guys!! I had an similar experience with a local triathlete on a bike ride only a few years ago!!!
Every scene of this was a laugh
Glad you enjoyed it Allex!!
So so funny, great video.
Cheers Andrew! 👍
Accurate.. it's basically me as a cyclist now vs my previous personality when i was a triathlete
Always love these crossovers. Also makes me miss triathlon training
Glad you enjoyed it Ian!
I can see the clip of Conor in the water getting some use in the GCN show for some time to come!
Conors jelly legs are really relateable for me today. I was on a 13k trail run, as I was going alone, I went by bike.
Even with a 45min transition (registration, fafing, waiting...) I still had jelly legs on the first 1,5k.
on my about to ride right now!!
we got one on our grp ride.... and he rides always on the back like 10meters behind the grp ..... and only goes with us when he has low hardrate training.... he is on his road bike do....
Hilarious video, loved it!
Conor is just too funny! Brilliant video
I didn’t think Connor was going to go in the water. I could use a friend like that to join me in double workout training days 😆
That was hilarious! Great video!
Thank you! 😁
Well done! This had me laughing the whole time. Conor is a great sport.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Phil Gammon did an entertaining video where he went out with a couple of triathletes. I belive he called it "Try-athelete". Difference was it didn't appear they were trying to destroy him.
lean bikes against fence in carpark to go for a mid-ride jog... surprisingly the bikes are still there on return! 😮😂
we definitely wouldn't recommend it!
Brilliant!! Conor was extremely game. I know it was staged but it was still thoroughly entertaining.
Glad you enjoyed it John!
@@gcn This and the Ollie and Manon in Siena video, and then coverage of Strade Bianche and Paris-Nice!! What a weekend for GCN entertainment. Thanks
Yes. This. More gtn + gcn please
Goodness gracious 😂😂😂 Conor should be on stage 😂😂
😂
Captured the triathlete psyche perfectly!
Conor screaming in the water 😂
With Connor, Mark looked like he's riding a kid sized bike :D
LMAO ! I'll never ever let a tri-athlete design my rides. A time-trialist, yes ! 😂
As a recovering triathlete, this made me LMAO. Great fun.
The hardest part is over. If you don't mind us asking, how long have you been Triathlon free?
Another great video from gcn very funny
We're glad you enjoyed it!
Hilarious! Brilliant, thanks for the laughs.
Thanks Cassandra - glad you enjoyed the content!
Funny!! I’m at Starbucks and laughed hard several times. 🤣🤣🤣
Haha, thats what we like to hear!
Oh man, this hits a bit close for comfort... I guess you shouldn't let a crazy person do the planning 😁
Fun and informative.
This is Gold content !! haha. thumbs up.
Glad you enjoyed it 😂
Now I would like to see road ride designed by trials rider. Road bike party wink wink nudge nudge
Great video guys!
Thanks Bill!
The UK looks still inviting in winter...
Would be great if we could get these add-free on GCN+
Ha ha, way to start my week! 🤣😂
Glad you enjoyed it Sebastien!
Sounds like a dying roster @11:57. I can't get that horrible noise out my head.
Hhahaha
🤣
Hahahaha!! 🤣🤣
What watches are you guys wearing? Are they the Wahoo Rivals??
GCN features: frozen little Conors ;)
Good sport: that river is cold this time of year!
🥶
Connor is such a great sport!
Man this was pretty funny 😆🤣
Conner iron man next?
I think Connor can meet Brad Binder ( MotoGP rider ) because both of them have a similar faces....
As a GB age grouper, loved this….
Awesome, we're glad you liked it David!
I like the idea of combine cycling and running. But no swimming for me.
Me too! But luckily we can just do a duathlon :D
Who was Connor's running coach? Ollie Bridgewood?
Could we get Connor to do a Triathalon ? That would be magic
omg, i couldn't stop laughing , sooo good
Haha, Thankyou!
What hubs are on Marks bike... I want those.
Great entertainment!
Glad you enjoyed it
So true
