One of the best triathlon videos I have seen all year. I love watching all of the epic workouts the pros do, but this is one of the most relatable videos. Hearing you talk about the financial concerns of traveling across the world for a race is awesome. So happy for both of you - your hard work and dedication to this wonderful, painful sport has definitely paid off. Way to go!!!!!
Thank you, James! We’re fortunate we get to do this, but it certainly makes us have to have the conversations and make decisions that are best for us. However, it is true. We don’t want to pass up an opportunity for what we love in a place we have always wanted to visit. Sacrifices coming, more than just for training. Appreciate the kind comment and support, always!
I am kicking myself after watching this video. I always thought if I didn't get top 5 in my age group there was no chance of me getting a slot. I wish I had gone to the awards for the two 70.3s I have done. I just may have gotten one. I really want to qualify, so that I can experience the atmosphere. I will keep trying. You both are an inspiration. Thank you for making content and providing information for others looking to do the same.
Yeah! You never know how far it will go. If you’re interested, it’s worth sitting through it. But be prepared for all the emotions. It’s intense. Good luck!
Awesome job ladies!! Hella amazing. My coach, Helen got a slot too. Both of my coaches are actually in the background at 10:00 in the video (purple shirts). Can’t wait to see the training series!
So freaking excited for both of y’all!
So freaking glad you were there to share it! You’re next. 💪🏽
