Heather race Anna on mountain bikes, and Anna race Heather on TT bike, but in both cases with funny kit to the person who’s an expert in that field (eg Heather wears non-aero windsock for the TT race), etc :)
I love this so much. Anna is reflecting the pure joy I have when I'm doing a triathlon. This sport isn't just about pros and Iron-distance events, it's about ordinary people doing extraordinary things, pushing themselves beyond what they believed they was possible.
"...it's about ordinary people doing extraordinary things, pushing themselves beyond what they believed they was possible." That's the most accurate description of triathlon I've seen. Kudos.
THIS! Triathlon is more than just the big hitters, we hope that we can help to show every corner of the sport 🙌 Is there anything else you would like to see on the channel?
Love the Anna and Heather combo! Kudos Anna on completing your triathlon and hope to see more in the future! Also wouldn’t mind seeing Anna teach Heather mountain biking so Heather could do the full Xterra next time 😏
I love Anna’s personality, she was such a great addition to the GMTB team and brings joy to every video. This collaboration was gold! , we need more collaborations like this. ❤
Well done. I think Anna definitely should do another one, with the full documentary component for us. I used to race bikes wwwwaaaaaaaayyyy back in the day but now am a runner. I have been thinking of trying a triathlon (due to finding GTN when looking for running tips) and this gave me hope.
More videos like this. That is what we call popularization. Once upon a time, I shared an idea of Resort Beach Triathlon (RBT): X minutes swim, Y minutes bike, Z minutes run. Use your own bike or rented beach cruiser. All for fun and feeling Tri modalities. Time, pace and (mentioning distance is redundant) do not matter, you are relaxing at resort. You, The GTN, responded with "We should definitely try it" statement :). I am sure, Anna generously forgives you for forgetting the idea and will kindly accept vacation package for RBT series. She deserves it and you owe her :).
I did my first triathlon in May at the age of 58 and loved it. I was due to do an Olympic distance event in September but injury prevented that. I’m going to get it done next year! Great video and love the chemistry between Anna and Heather it felt like you had good fun together.
Fantastic effort Anna, and very relatable. Now that Anna knows she can get around the course, it would great to see her take on another tri with more prep time. But in return, Heather should take on an Xterra after some mtb skills coaching from Anna.
Anna is a fantastic presenter on GMBN and it was fun to watch her attempt her first triathlon. I'd love to see her back, to see what she can really achieve. 👍
Well done Anna!! I’ve been dragging my feet on trying an XTERRA triathlon, but you have inspired me to just go for it! Can’t wait to see your next triathlon video!
Bravo Anna, You had me smiling through the whole journey of yours. Brings me back to my first Triathlon. When you done one you are hooked. Do another one Anna I would love to see how Anna progresses on the swim part. That reminds me of how I was. Great video. Cheers
Great to see people enjoying their first triathlon. Big Kudos to Anna for finishing her first triathlon of a longer list ;-) I know what I am speaking about ;-)
Well done ladies. I learn something every time I watch these videos. It is definitely the ‘taking part’ that counts. Of course we try our best … but even the person finishing last was trying their best too. I’ve got an Olympic distance Tri in 5 weeks time, so maybe this is a bit of self talk 😁
Wow! Really nice try Anna! I’m really looking forward to your next try and see how much you can improve. For a first time doing all the segments, you did great!
Well done Anna! Sprint triathlon is harder than it looks, being in the water with many people around can be stressful. Luckily it seems this was a rolling start which I prefer. Over here TT bikes are not allowed for short distance, because drafting is allowed.
Well done Anna! Personally I’d love to see her progression over the next couple of years. And how amazing of Heather to lend someone her bike! No one gets a loan of any of mine. 😂
Well done!! I would really encourage you to practise breathing out through your nose in the pool because honestly it makes you so so much less out of breath. There’s a really good video on effortless swimming TH-cam channel about this. Honestly it transformed my swimming. So so well done. Love this type of content btw GTN. 🎉
What should we challenge Anna to next? 🏊🏻🚴🏃
Heather race Anna on mountain bikes, and Anna race Heather on TT bike, but in both cases with funny kit to the person who’s an expert in that field (eg Heather wears non-aero windsock for the TT race), etc :)
Roth❤
Can Anna teach Heather some MTB Enduro or XC skills for Xterra type events 😊
Ice bath challenge (ALS) or bikini try on haul. 😊
Get Anna to take part in SupBikeRun South Wales next year. That's going to be my first Tri :)
I love this so much. Anna is reflecting the pure joy I have when I'm doing a triathlon. This sport isn't just about pros and Iron-distance events, it's about ordinary people doing extraordinary things, pushing themselves beyond what they believed they was possible.

That's a great idea! We'll see what Heather thinks 👀

Yes, would love to see Anna do more triathlon. She is so relatable.
Anna is such a sport for taking these challenges so obviously the audience demands more. :-)

What a fab video - can we have more videos like this please? So relatable and brilliant to see. And well done Anna! :)
We would love to have Anna back on the channel 🙌 What challenge should Anna take on next?
Of course we love having Anna join in on the triathlon experience! I look forward to watching her give the local series a go!
This video of her working through issues and learning from doing is encouraging. Great video, guys!
Anna smashed it 🙌 She put in some hard work and it's really paid off!
Go Anna. Nice to have a GMBN triathlete , Hank from GCN promised to do a triathlon but never delivered
Richie from GCN Germany also did a triathlon recently, unfortunately the video is in German…
I think it would be fun to see a series of videos next year documenting Anna improving at each tri. Great job, Anna!!!
Anna has such amazing energy - what a joy to watch
Fantastic effort Anna, and very relatable. Now that Anna knows she can get around the course, it would great to see her take on another tri with more prep time.
But in return, Heather should take on an Xterra after some mtb skills coaching from Anna.
I'd be up for that!
Anna is a fantastic presenter on GMBN and it was fun to watch her attempt her first triathlon. I'd love to see her back, to see what she can really achieve. 👍
Enjoyed watching Anna´s performance, cracking good effort on the very first (full) try!
❤Shows the true meaning of triathlon and any sport - friendship and fun. What a pit crew to have on your first triathlon!
We couldn't think of a better put crew 👀
Ya well done to this lady for completing her 1st triathlon 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I did my 1st this year too!!
Amazing video.
Well done Anna and great coaching from Heather and Marks videos :)
Anna looked like she’d been nailing transitions for years
For years
Well done Anna. Look forward to seeing your next tri adventure.
Brilliant!!! Well done Anna and the GTN team 😊💪
Good going Anna, and good luck on the tri series!! That inspires me to do a tri series!!
Anna great effort,triathalons are hard core and you did so well in your first race.Really good watching you compete.
Well done Anna!! I’ve been dragging my feet on trying an XTERRA triathlon, but you have inspired me to just go for it! Can’t wait to see your next triathlon video!
Bravo Anna, You had me smiling through the whole journey of yours. Brings me back to my first Triathlon. When you done one you are hooked. Do another one Anna I would love to see how Anna progresses on the swim part. That reminds me of how I was. Great video. Cheers
Well done Anna and Heather love the way you kept it real and relatable. Love to see Anna's progress in the future ❤
Great job, Anna!
Yes please, do more triathlons next year!
Really love this pairing and the video's of these two!
God yeah!! Let's see Anna going again. Great video..
Anna vs Heather vs Manon should all enter a local club 10 mile time trial please GTN, GCN and sponsors make it happen!
Yes, Anna, way to go! And keep on tri-ing! :)Megan
Such a nice and pleasant video to see. Thanks Anna and good luck for your next one!
Anna! ❤ From MTB to Triathlon 🤙
Great job Anna! Looked like such a pro on the bike-well you are! Way to tackle the swim and run!
fantastic Anna and even better that you might do another one next year
Great to see people enjoying their first triathlon. Big Kudos to Anna for finishing her first triathlon of a longer list ;-) I know what I am speaking about ;-)
Go, Anna! 🎉 You did great... and so much more fun to be had... 😊😎
Great job, Anna!!!
Way to go girl! Anna you're going to smash it.

Of course we try our best … but even the person finishing last was trying their best too. I’ve got an Olympic distance Tri in 5 weeks time, so maybe this is a bit of self talk 😁

Yes, do it again!
Wow! Really nice try Anna! I’m really looking forward to your next try and see how much you can improve. For a first time doing all the segments, you did great!
Wooo! Great job Anna!
Loved this!!

And how amazing of Heather to lend someone her bike! No one gets a loan of any of mine. 😂
Go, Anna!
Well done Anna brilliant xx
great vid. just got back into tri and catching up on some gtn and i see vobster! ive dove that. fyi, theres a ford escort at the bottom of that!
Just awesome 😊
I'd like to also hear from Anna how her XC riding improves as a result of doing Triathlon. Cross training always has benefits that transfer.
Well done!! I would really encourage you to practise breathing out through your nose in the pool because honestly it makes you so so much less out of breath. There’s a really good video on effortless swimming TH-cam channel about this. Honestly it transformed my swimming.
So so well done. Love this type of content btw GTN. 🎉
Fantastic 👏
Yay Anna! ❤
Coming from a Yankee across the pond - do another triathlon! 🎉😊
Amazing job, Anna! I'm sure you'll beat Mark in the next one!
well done Anna, and I´m looking forward to see Your next thriathlon - maybe You should challenge some of the boys at GMBN?😆
Nice 😊
Well done. First one’s always the hardest. Curious, is that the same event the gang did their retro tri video at ?
Well spotted, yes it was part of the same summer series.
Well done Anna, Tri at olympics length
Where was the support from Gmbn?
Brilliant job ❤ Viking goddessxxxxxx
No one mentioned the sock rule? 😂❤
+mannon and anna
I lost my nose clip too, so I never bought another one.
