    Great video Lewis! Summed up the day really well! The first part of the bike was pretty cold. My wife and I appreciated how the transitions were in the same place so it was easier for spectators and kit drop off compared to Staffordshire.

      Glad you liked!
      Yeah definitely got chilly at the start, saw some of the pros wearing latex gloves 🧤😂
      Transition was great except for the floor! It was meant to be closer to the swim start but I can see why it’s where it is, I did see staffs is very odd.

    Congrats sir - it was my first 70.3 on Sunday and I watched your videos from last year in preparation. Glad to hear you've done well. It was pretty brtual for a first half IM especially with the rain and wind - glad to have finished in just over 6 hours, will try for sub 6 next year. Keep the videos coming!

    Great video mate. I was the bloke on the run who asked if you were the guy who did the bike video 😂 also we’re running alongside each other at 6:48 in the video. I didn’t clock who you were then though😂

    Hi Lewis thanks for the video, a good insight into the event. I am planning on doing this next year ( 2025 ) is this the best bike setup for the course, do you think it’s a road bike course or TT, I know it’s down to the individual but your input would be helpful. Thanks

    People getting dq'd for blocking motors they couldn't hear/get out way off?!

    • @LewisfromYouTube
      @LewisfromYouTube  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Unfortunately that’s a lot of talk and I know one person who got DQ’d because of it where I know he’s not like that. I also know one person got a penalty when they shouldn’t have.
      The motorcycle marshals weren’t the best if I’m honest, and the one that got in my way didn’t really seem to care.
