I was only going to watch a few minutes of this video…just busy tonight…but you absolutely memorized me with your honest, casual and credible presentation. Yeah, I’m late to the party on this video (it’s Dec. 2023] but it came up on my YT feed and now I’m subscribed to your channel.

What injury did it lead to? I hope it was a safe recovery!

What a wonderful video showing how wonderful the work that Bob and the Foundation have been doing, is! Hats off o them , and it should make us all poud of them and of all the Challenged athletes!

Sehr schön. Vielen Dank, Sarah! 😃 Bob sollte mehr über Athleten sprechen, denen CAF helfen konnte.

Bob is an absolutely amazing selfless individual

So many amazing stories of overcoming tragedy with these rockstar athletes at CAF. We can all learn and be inspired by them. Bob is clearly invested in helping to propel these athletes to achieve their best. Thanks for bringing us along, Sarah! ❤ And, I must say, you bounce back from that spill on the bike so fast. The crazy resilience!

Keep the video updates coming. Loving it. If you are ever on the GC and need a cameraman let me know.

Awesome report thank you. Great to hear and see your commitment to finishing - IM is such an epic thing every finish is to be celebrated. All the best for the next one.

It was great to watch a master at work. We were all there cheering you on. Every champion has their day, considering how far you come from 5 weeks ago you should be still be super proud.

Amazing effort

Great job Sarah. You did well

Congrats Sarah. Throws up her lunch, continues to the race and back in the night to support her local tri club. Best example of a pro athlete that every possible Aussie sponsor should get behind.

Loved watching the race and suddenly you vanished away… as i have broken rips (all left side) and more broken parts (collarbone and shoulder-plate) in my shoulder, i tell you that it takes me still a lot of energy in the healing process and i was surprised when i saw your quick comeback. Give it time and you don’t need to prove us anything but just be yourself as you are a nice person…

❤

Hello Thanks for sharing , it would looks nicer if you remove your sunglass espacially for interview and in shadow...would make you more sympathic i think !

Thanks for giving such an open account of the race and your current situation. It was helpful to understand what exactly happened as this wasn’t clear from the coverage. Really insightful and honest reflection on the race. Best of luck for a full recovery and a great day in Kona!

shit happens when you're out there.. you'll be back stronger next race 💪

You're a tough, tough woman, Sarah. Powering through that run would've been a challenge. There was something about the race this year that really attracted the spewers, never seen so many people chucking during an Ironman!

The highs and lows of racing!

Who is coaching you these days?

Good luck tomorrow. I hope to see you out on the bike course =)

good luck for Sunday have an amazing day

Brilliant to hear you’ve recovered so well after that nasty little incident. My Coach put in a fair bit of snorkel work for me this year before race season and it really helped with a bit of stroke imbalance, maybe there’s a technique improvement you’ve gained as a result which I think you hinted at. To be honest, given the way we tend to look for short sharp fixes these days, I think a maximum of, say, 15 minutes for these videos might encourage more viewers so for me this was an ideal length. That said, I’m sure there is scope for occasional longer videos. Of course, disregard these ideas as you will ☺️ A close friend of mine from Melbourne recently settled in an apartment at Coolum Beach, I enjoyed visiting after the Age Group World Championships in 2018, lovely area and I hope to return perhaps next year sometime. Your hair looks awesome, best of luck at IM Cairns, I hope you can race pain free and defend your title🤞Looking forward to videos from Park City, I’ve enjoyed training in Tucson and Clermont and open to other areas in future. Cheers from Scotland! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

❤ Also, loved the bit at the end! 😊

And this positivity and pressing on with training in the things that you can do, despite an injury, is why you’re a true professional. Keep being amazing! 🔥 🔥 ❤

Great to hear how the recovery and training is going. Looking forward to seeing you defend the title this weekend! 🤞

Can you please advocate that all podium placed AGE group athlete's get tested for performance enhancing drugs! The results will be very interesting,...All the best for the Cairns IM

An old man hit me with his car earlier today while I was on a bike training session. Just watched your video from the hospital. Thanks for the inspiration;) ! All the best with the recovery!

Oh yes, you mention an important topic. Thanks very much! I got a bad sunburn in Texas and dnf‘d the Ironman. 😢 That's not the only reason why I have regular check-ups at the dermatologist. The shorter the intervals, the easier it is to do something with less effort and less drastic consequences. 👍

Sarah, I hope you feel better and wish you a speedy recovery - ouch! that looked very painful. I so admire you.

Just watched this Sarah - I’m just a humble AGer but fwiw I had my best result at Kona after cracking a rib. I’d been training super hard and it forced me to dial back the intensity and just go aerobic for the last few weeks. Hope it all heals well and see you in Cairns (I’ll just be spectating this one)

Get well soon Sarah! All the best from Germany!!!

Gosh that looked AWEFUL

Omg when we have race in Davao 70.3 you have skin check that time.

Great post, Sarah. Keep strong and good luck leading up to IM Cairns

Yoga breathing will help , I wonder if you do them ?

Rain and weather = funny, do you really save that much time taking your shoes off a few seconds earlier, we need to chat about that one sister, part of winning anything in life is knowing when to = hardest thing to do in life is the ability to take a step back from oneself and look outside in rather than always looking from inside out, can you do Cannes of course you CAN, sorry dying is easy comedy is hard, titanium bike in the future, song for the video = I’m still standing = Elton John.

sorry to hear my trichick had melanoma, thank god and hopefully now everything is and will stay in check - health wise! hope to see you soon racing the best ladies! I need to get into them too so I can once more draft part of the marathon in your wake... :D

Great video Sarah. If only they would test AG athletes 😢 Best of luck in your recovery. Best of luck in Cairns and T2 😂

Great videos mate!

Keep kicking ass Sarah

As a fellow skin cancer survivor, I'm glad you got treatment early, and are doing well. Good luck to you in the future.

Good luck for recovery

Why don't you do any PTO racing? Just curious...heal up!

It was great to be there watching an athlete of your calibre on the day. Shame about the crash, but great job on finishing the race like you did 🔨🔨🔨

Its a tough place to have injuries as breathing and wide arm movements are painfull. Best and fast recovery!! Cheers!!

Recover well Sarah !! This is your season. Go get em !!!

Recover well Champ! That's not for any ordinary Jane what you're going through, it's pure perseverance and willing to go all in! Best of luck!

maaaate! just had my second crash of the year, and a separated shoulder, and I feel your pain (plus my own)!

I have all my rips broken and i can imagine what pain you are going through…. very tough to keep on training, which i can not yet after 5 weeks….
