I watched Livestream, was rooting for you!

Amazing effort and result! Great job making top 10 in that field.

Well done Josh! Great vid. Question: is the omnius headband marginal or game changer?

Great job! Hate i missed you! The canal is brutal!

great result and recap. Would love to do it, but seems impossible to get in!

👏

nice meeting you on ground, superb result

Top man

Well done amazing result

Try BananaWax Drag & Friction Reduction tdf tt chain wax, will save you watts and stop chain issues.

@josh_lewis - can I ask what rear bottle cage mount you are using?

How many downtube bottles have you lost - mine keep popping off ?

Thanks for the video Josh! Very informative. Not sure if you mentioned your height and the bike size🤔Could you share that with us please?😉 I have a 2019 Speed Concept with great wheels and I’m wondering if it’s worth the upgrade to a 2024 model…TT bikes are not affordable…

Please clean your chain before the race

great meeting you today at the bike dropoff, good luck

Awesome set up Josh! What’s the length of the cranks you’re using?

Should go with with 51 Speed Shop hi rise arm cups and pads. Best on the market IMO.

How did you get the bottle cage between arms? A specific mount?

🚀🔥

A LCW event sounds like SUCH a blast - definitely on my radar for the future

I 'only' did the swim and am so pleased to hear even the pros found it choppy 😅 all other open water swims will be a breeze now! I'm heading back next year to do the half LCW in prep for a later season 70.3 so this video is super helpful!

Quality video as usual mate looked like a quality weekend, see you at Roth!

Had them in a box for 2 years. Did a flat 13 miles and just couldn’t get comfortable. I felt like I was off the ground and couldn’t feel the ground. I felt like I wasn’t transfering force. It was good for my achilles tendon but bad for my gait. I did feel like I didn’t actually run at the end of workout so maybe I just need to accustom to the rebound. Because of other comments I may try again on the treadmill so I can swap them out when it feels so discombobulated.

One very important lesson overlooked Josh ?...........carry a spare saddle with you🤣🤣 .......Great event , incredible awards ceremony.....i was there at the finish line supporting my son........best of luck for Roth 👍👍

I saw you at halfway as I was doing the half distance. My hamstrings still haven't recovered, and that was my first race in the sea!

Congratulations! So I’m wondering how far out from the A race should this be done? Probably 2 weeks is not ideal? 70.3 in September

Hi. I was one that managed to complete the full LCW and really enjoyed it (swim was roughest I’ve been in). It my first time doing full distances in preparation for my first Ironman in September (Ironman wales). What’s the difference in how the body reacts doing it all in one day to stretching over 3 days. My legs were so stiff after the bike on the morning of the marathon (my first marathon).

Sorry to hear you got knocked off your bike Josh, I genuinely think its getting harder for cyclists to ride on the road. Safer in numbers!! Good luck in next race.

Repping the nerd hat!!

Try 8 x 5 min flat out with 3 min recoveries

Another excellent video!!

Great review Josh. I'm a long distance swimmer, my swim sessions are 2 hour long with an average of 5.5k distance, so to me heart rate is not essentially all that important as a real-time metric that I would need because I can tell if I'm overexerting myself due to poor technique or simply putting too much power where it's not needed. I've grown to be attuned to gauging that on my own. My Garmin Swim 2 does pick up my heart rate and I do use that heart rate metric that tells e whether I've had an efficient swim when I couple that with my distance. I'm going to order this goggle because I did try the Form 1 goggle and it gave me tunnel vision, and that was quite distracting. My Garmin will buzz half way through my swim to let me know where I'm at but having real-time pace reading will tell me what to tweak in my technique which to me is the game changer. I'll update my comment after having used it. Cheers from Ontario, Canada! Ok, I did my first swim with these goggles yesterday. My initial verdict: Very good. The only thing it did not measure accurately is my stroke count, but aside from that it did an excellent job of counting my laps (which to me is super important). It also displayed my pace after each lap completion which enabled me to tweak my technique from lap to lap to get a better pace. I managed to shave 8 full seconds per 100 yards on my first swim with these goggles! My Garmin Swim 2 has trouble with counting my laps. Full disclosure , I'm learning a new technique so my strokes are not as "standard" as you would expect and I'm guessing that would cause Garmin to over-count my laps. However, Garmin does a pretty decent job of counting my strokes; I'm guessing because I'm the Garmin is a watch and it's easier to detect through accelerometer each distinct stroke. The Holoswim on the other hand does an excellent job of counting my laps but over-counts my strokes, and I'm guessing because it's harder to detect this when the accelerometer is mounted far away from the limb that's performing the stroke _ that's my hypothesis :-) . For anti-fogging, I do what i usually do with all my other goggles, which is applying a baby shampoo solution of 1 part to 3 water the night before the swim, let it dry off then before the swim I pass the goggles through the water 10 times , don't touch the inside surface and put on the goggles. Works perfectly every time. I found the instruction to rub the inside of the Holoswim lenses with a micro fiber fabric after damping the lenses to be something that is too intrusive and is prone to accidental or unintended denaturing of the lens surfaces. I'm no expert on this matter and have no hard data to back this up, but I can tell you that the 1/3 shampoo to water technique has worked for me without fail, even on 5 hour swims. After my 2 hour swim, the goggles were at 60% charge, I'm ok with that. I hope they keep on performing as time goes on. I'm opt to keep them and will be using them on my daily swims _ they are, without trying to sound hyperbolic, a game changer when it comes to self-coaching.

can you please tell me what kind of spacers you used to create the angle of the aerobar? thank you

Cracking race Josh, congrats to podium and slot for Samorin 25. btw you don't look too much slower running behind me (at 5:45) train harder ;)

click bait crap

Well done mate.

Brilliant result Josh, nice to meet you when I was thawing out from the dip in the water and it was a pleasure to see you fly by on the bike! You guys are brilliant athletes! Hope you smash the rest of the season and hats off to all that took part in Challenge Wales!

Beautiful new kit! Just watched Harry's video yesterday, so cool to see a race from different athletes. Congrats and good luck in Roth!

Well done Josh 👏 Great to see yourself, Harry, and others supporting each other plus making the racing fun, competative and awesome content 👍

I am confused about how Harry P beat you when you are so accomplished and had a huge squad. I am hoping to hear your thoughts

Great race

Great podium result mate 👌 well earned.. if you don’t do Roth then Swansea may suit you.. amazing course..😊

From what I saw it seemed like you didn't take the 10 mins before race to climatise, do you think that helps with the swim section?

Congrats with your podium place, Josh! ❤❤❤

What's your height and size of the bike, do you like it ?

Last year was pretty hot in Roth especially on the run. Any plans for heat training specifically? Good luck with your upcoming starts.

Can't wait to share the course with you at Roth!

Quality video as always mate, looking forward to Roth will hopefully see you around!

I was cheering you on from my saddle on the bike course, in Challenge Wales, cant wait to see the race recap video.

see ya in roth
