      How about a Beer Mile. I'm going to give it a go this summer sometime.

      GMBN vs GCN vs GTN. loser buys the beer for the office Christmas party.

      I'ld love one too, but asking GMBN and GCN to swim and run and then comment when they don't come on top is not fair. Even a straight bike race is not "fair", since the GMBN guys are less dependent on pedaling and more on jumping stuff.

    You know what this needed? Adding Si to this race to show off his running "prowess". LOL

    Heathers comment at 5:25, “Is it really mean if I like try and crack on?” Had me rolling! Fantastic content yet again. Really enjoyed watching this one.

    I loved that Heather's first thought when she heard that Mark had fallen wasn't the race but is he alright.

  • @v1d300
    @v1d300 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    This was so fun to watch. Sorry Heather but I was rooting for Mark as soon as I saw that sick BMC XC Bike.

    • @gtn
      @gtn  6 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @MateHegyhati
    @MateHegyhati 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This was awesome :-) Some of it seemed choreographed, but still, very enjoyable :-)

    • @gtn
      @gtn  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Glad you enjoyed it as much as we did!

    • @RoScFan
      @RoScFan 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Choreographed as in scripted? I doubt it. He had actual blood on his hands.

  • @petertklee
    @petertklee 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I like these funny presenter challenge videos. I actually get nervous right around the finish to see who wins. Maybe next year you can do another funny challenge where you modify swim-bike-run into a swim-with-pool-floatie, bike-on-a-step-through-city-bike, and then run-racewalking.

    • @gtn
      @gtn  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Great idea Peter, thanks for the comment 👍

    Mark falls off the bike for getting carried away... gets carried away jumping the bricks in the run again... good thing he didn't fall again xD

    Hi guys another really good show, heather is looking lovely with the tan coming on nicely 😉, could we add caption of the week: heather trying to mess up her clipping in to get a job on GCN 😂

    • @ZeroSeriesMMX
      @ZeroSeriesMMX 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Messing up on clipping in? Si tried and failed, Heather tried and also failed. 😂

  • @davepratt9909
    @davepratt9909 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Both of you got lost? Why didn't your program the course into your GPS head units? Isn't that one of the tips you advocated?

  • @phxrsx
    @phxrsx 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Do you use a power meter on MTB Mark?

  • @henrychan9179
    @henrychan9179 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Oh how unlucky Heather. You took the wrong, hilly road. There's no way you can lose from Mdina to Golden Bay against a mountain bike.

    Instead of using towels to cover you changing you could use a Kilt. Pactimo makes quick release kilts for changing.

    Changing clothes in transition? You could at least have used a trisuit..

  • @WeJockMcPooPlop
    @WeJockMcPooPlop 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love this channel but don't like topgear style fake af challenges. Don't need artificial drama, music or acting. Id much rather see the odd boring predicable outcome and feel its real than see one fake one and have every other loose a bit of cred. Keep it real! Again: love the channel, watch every video and the how too and tips videos are incredibly useful, thank you

    Uhm... triathlon participants have to CHANGE clothes when changing between cycling and running? Seems incredibly silly. Maybe if the girl had the kind of shoes that stick in pedals and those are terrible for running, I could understand changing shoes, but all cloths? Cycling and running are too similar to required changing clothes.
