Ironman Athlete at 1500m Nationals

[@DrJacobGoodin]

I can't believe I just found your channel recently! I'm half of a husband-wife coach-athlete team and have loved watching some of your training and racing vlogs as inspiration for my videos. As a college miler, my pre-race ritual was as follows: - balanced breakfast with sufficient fiber, fat, and protein to last a few hours - several hours of cheering on my teammates while lounging under the team tent - occasional snacks of the very strange combo of trail mix, cheese-its, and cheerios. Don't ask me how, but somehow in high school I started snacking on this at track meets and that was the year I was top 10 at the state meet - 1-2 mile jog 1 hr pre-race, followed by drills and strides with PLENTY of rest. - 10 minutes pre-race I would go over my strategy and tactics, have a quick word with my coach, say a prayer, and then let training and instinct take over!

[@triinrast3032]

You are such an inspiring athlete, Lucy! Thank you for being who you are, picking up challenges along the way and showing that you can have fun with the sports even at professional level. Pre-race rituals are very important for me too - starting from what I eat from breakfast, what music I listen to when reaching to the race venue (I am a cross-country cyclist so it takes a while to reach places) to what mantra I say to myself, how long I warm up for and how many minutes before the race I take a gel. Keeping those things in line really calms my brain down and puts me into the "racing mode".

[@natashaluna]

Living in a small town where not much happens, I always have to take the train to get to a race (and I love being on trains, even if it's just for a short ride). I don't know if this counts as a ritual, but thinking about how lucky I am to be able to do this 'pointless,' 'senseless,' and beyond beautiful activity of running always brings a big smile to my face. So that's my 'ritual': smiling through the window like a dog.

[@elliegrimes7712]

Awesome, you caught footage of my friend who was in the first heat. She’s my life goals, still swimming like a pro in her 70s!

[@LuMeta25]

Ever since I have been competing as a kid listening to Hall of Fame by The Script, has always been a go to. Love the vids!

[@mrichard6951]

Morning oats and coffee, then sip on hydration. A gel 30 min pre race. If the nerves are working overtime some earbuds and music. Love the vids!

[@Nina_ja]

Love the TCB content, you are such a big inspiration - thanks for that! I just started Triathlon this year and „only“ had two races - but my pre-race ritual is to visualize the race, hear some music and get some carbs in!

[@jillianilana5967]

Loved this video! My pre-race ritual is two-slices of dry toast followed by a quick, five-minute meditation to center myself. I then take the time to stretch, listening to my body, reminding it of how far it has come on this journey to get in this moment, taking in the atmosphere. I then plug in my AirPods, listen to my favorite playlist, and tune everything out until it is time to race.

[@lucybriggs5738]

Loving the videos. My pre-race ritual after my warm up is always getting my earphones on, turning the volume up , putting on my favourite feel good tunes and having a bit of a dance and shake out. This helps me to get rid of the nerves and feel as relaxed as possible before going over that start line

[@TheBritishActingCoach]

I've signed up to my first "proper" event next year - LEEDS IRONMAN 🫶 training is underway and I will definitely be sporting my LCB swim bike run jumper my hubby got me last year! I predict my pre-race ritual will involve shotting some beetroot juice and definitely doing my go-to yoga flow to get my mind and body READY TO DOMINATE hehe! Another great video - thanks team. Cheering ya'll on as ever! x

[@TheDoonst]

I'm still processing how is that possible that 50m pool divided by that thing in the middle gives you 2x25m pools. Probably magic.

[@tubbyisnofatty]

The pool is not 50m total length, its 50m + the boom, (probably like 55m) and it normally stays at one end. Does that make sense?

[@alex31721able]

So when it's set to be long course 50m that bit in the middle (boom) is on the one side of the pool. So the pool is actually bigger than 50m if it was empty (which it never is). You just move the boom to the middle and still have more than 50m but the boom takes up the extra and either side is 25m. Not sure that makes sense the way I wrote it but hope that helps

[@mplsmike4023]

So, @alex31721able, black magic, then. :-)

[@Claire_16]

A little video example kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGarg2asoLmsqtEsi=OA6LJgz07INuq1aE

[@matwetton]

Tldr the boom doesn't leave the pool you can just move it. So it doesn't have any affect on overall length just where you position it divides the pool up

[@Cacahouete007]

Congrats on the great swim results! So nice to see you doing other events despite the long racing year! I've just started racing this year (in part inspired by your videos) so no ritual just yet except from going over the food/bike/shoes one thousand times. I can only imagine what it's like having the same ritual for so long, how the body and mind must get into gear when you start your ritual and you know instinctively, you're ready to push 🙌

[@michaelsnyder2911]

My pre race ritual… Starts early in my Van typically camping close to the event.. A slow cup of coffee with a Biscoff Cookie.. Time to just relax and enjoy the moment of anticipation and execution for the day.. I love it..Cheeers

[@lujif.s2567]

Great video! When I was little my grandma always came to my meets and as her favourite song was "Asereje" she would always put it on and she did silly dances to it in the car because it made me laugh and take away a lot of nerves. She´s no longer with us, but now before every competition I always listen to it and give a kiss to the necklace she gave me ❤❤❤

[@christinesten.7577]

Really love all your videos! You're always authentic and very funny :) I don't race a lot, but if it's the case I always eat toast, butter and honey and I like to be alone and I stop speaking ;) That's the best way for me to find focus.

[@flossehoch]

My pre-race routine always involves listening to music-my favorite is still Thunderstruck by AC/DC. It helps me get into a positive headspace and avoid dwelling on everything that might go wrong. Since I approach races more for participation than for winning, I imagine my routine isn’t as strict or finely tuned as a pro like yours. Love your content!

[@rogerford703]

I never win these things but that’s ok because I love your channel and love what you do for the sport of triathlon! My pre race routine (other than peeing a hundred times) is to tell myself to enjoy it and to try and visualise the different parts of the race (and how I’ll break it down into smaller parts in my head if it’s a longer one). Thanks Lucy and team!

[@cousti4439]

My pre-race ritual is a set of mobility and stretching exercises I do in a very precise order so I can feel all relieved and ready to go to crush it 💪 Thanks Lucy for the great content and will be jumping on your cameo account every beginning of the month to try to get one the videos you offer! And it's for a good cause so it's even more perfect ! Cheers from France

[@lauraschuff6373]

I started triathlon a year ago after I was able to accompany my dad to the Ironman in Kona, Hawaii in 2022🌺🐢. Since then, my ritual has been to eat toast with honey and listen music in the morning. 🍞🍯

[@lizp.8558]

Awesome swim! I used to be a competitive swimmer as well, hearing the sound of the heat starting gave me all the flashbacks!! My pre race ritual is pump up music (forever stuck in 2010 pop and other motivational songs like hall of fame, fighter), dynamic stretches, and most importantly visualization of each part of the race! Feel what it feels like to be strong in your mind and you’ll be strong in the race! Keep up the amazing work, love supporting you!!!

[@hojabotanica]

Hi before a race I always like to take a couple of minutes to breath deeply, this helps relaxing me a bit and put my mindset into perspective and remind me to not start too fast and burn all my matches at once 😊

[@lvazortolan]

YOU ARE MY INSPIRATION 🫶🏻 My ritual is to close my eyes and be grateful for the whole process and at the end take three little jumps.😅 Well done for being amazing 👏🏻

[@marybond6026]

Pre-race ritual: Toast with butter and honey when I wake up...poop at least 3 times between waking up and starting the race...picture how good I'm going to feel when the race is over...remind myself how lucky I am to be able to race...gaslight myself into thinking it's just another training run so that my nerves don't get the best of me. Love the video!

[@markbphilip]

Love the slightly more informal format of the vid and congrats at the race! Pre race for me is all about not rushing. I'll be at the race when registration / transistion opens, give myself plenty of time to get setup and be in a calm state of mind. Plenty of pre-race toilet stops too!

[@joaoasilva]

Waking up, lemon juice with ginger to get my digestive system on a perfect state and after 10m porridge with banana and honey. Stretching while I listen to some high cadence music to get the mind up to speed and let's go!! Love your videos, an inspiration!

[@Jdwmaguire]

Brilliant stuff about the Cameo and giving back to the community, wholeheartedly agree you got a job to do, you’re a full time athlete and we’re all grateful for KZbin content too! Shoutout Holly! All the very best to you guys (and dogs) 🎉

[@manoelatozzi3472]

Lucy you are such an inspiration, breaking records left and right! My pre-race ritual is sleeping in as much as possible and then having a really tight eating/getting ready schedule to make sure I am a half hour early to any competition. Sleeping in helps me manage my anxiety because I get super super nervous whenever I race for anything. And then being early also helps me see people stroll in and feel like I belong in the space before it's go time.

[@elioramihaly8326]

Hi Lucy! Absolutely loved the video and the work you do outside of your training😇 It’s been a minute since I’ve been able to race, but my ritual is pretty simple. I do my morning routine as usual. Than before the race I visualize all the training I’ve done and that calms me down.

[@zsuzsannamarjai6493]

First, congratulation for the swimming competition wins. You guys are super fast. Keep us the great work. Secondly, my pre race ritual is usually stretching and listening to music, specially Lucy’s Spotify workout songs. Those motivates me to relax and push hard on any race. Thank you again for sharing it again, usually gives me wings to go fast :)

[@rachelcarre06]

My pre-race ritual starts with porridge in the morning. Then while I’m setting transition up I’ll listen to the same playlist. In the changing rooms I go over exactly how I want my race to go, 3 times. Then do the same warm up in the pool. Then go!

[@aylarudgley8799]

Congratulations on the record! Another great video! My pre-race ritual has had to change since becoming a mum this year but I’ve managed to keep my run warm up the same with a jog, some drills and then some strides before a final kiss to my hubby and baby before lining up on the start line.

[@JLW3113]

My pre-race ritual has also gone unchanged for years, and I think more than anything, it serves to quiet my nerves. It’s lots of stretching, coffee + breakfast, equipment check, then warmup. Congratulations on your record!

[@maggietyson1230]

Awesome vid! My pre-race ritual is doing my warm up while visualizing the course, reminding myself to have fun, and praying and thanking God for a healthy body to be able to race!! 💪🏽

[@peabjam]

Another great video. Lovely to see the Steel City, and everyone giving their all in the pool. My pre-race routine: Step one is to feel a bit unwell with pre-race excitement. Step two is dither about in the queue for the loo. And finally, step three is stand on the start line trying to remember my race plan...remembering that I didn't really have one and it'll be fine.

[@wholeham]

Geat work on breaking the record! My pre-race ritual is to not sleep all night, drink massive amounts of caffeine in the hours leading up to the start, and of course use the toilet right before. I also like to do a bit of visualization. First I visualize what has to happen for the worst possible outcome then I visualize what has to happen for everything to go right. Thanks!

[@Ana10091]

Loving following❤ Pre- race morning routine consists of early breakfast ( eggs, protein oats with berries, toast with peanut butter and banana), shower to wake me up, than I stretch, roll and get out the door. I'll get in the zone and put on some Goggins or listen to music, while sipping on a carb drink. Than right before I'll have a gel and kick off 😎

[@Myrtlemoo]

Thanks for another great video. Pre race ritual: big breakfast, cup of tea and a self pep talk

[@plantbasedadventures]

My pre-race ritual involves mindfulness meditation and breathwork - definitely helps to calm the nerves 💙🙏🏻 It's great to see your family still doing other events outside your most important races. Looking forward to the next video.

[@TeamRunningHusky]

So fun to revisit so many memories, thank you for taking us along with you and congrats on the new record! My pre-race ritual is listening to my pre-race song Fight Back by Neffex while doing my warm up. And whenever I do not have my phone with me to put the song on, I sing the song out loud or in my head, but always the ritual is this song while doing the warm up routine 😊

[@GarrisonMagloughlin-xc5jr]

Great video and congratulations on your record! For my pre-race ritual, I start stretching the day before whenever I think to do it. Whether it’s during class, during work, or playing games I try to get as loose as possible. Then race morning I usually wake up a couple hours early to have a quiet time and get my head in order. Right before the race I try to stretch out my quads and ham-strings because the adrenaline tends to make them stiffen up.

[@ChiemgauEndurance]

My prerace ritual and the one from all my athletes is to visualize the mental challenges I and they will face during the race. It will get hard, how does that feel and then imagine how it feels to finish the race off. I have huge respect for you to donate the fee. I imagine it is quite time consuming to do those cameos. And doing it for a good reason makes you even more a role model. Thanks for that!

[@anac5656]

I used to be a classically trained singer, and my pre audition/pre race ritual is the same. An hour before, eat a banana. And then listen to music with inspiring lyrics that I can sing along to in my head(or out loud sometimes haha) until it’s a few minutes before. I take a quiet moment to center myself, and then it’s go time! 😊

[@jullie213]

Great video! My pre race routine includes my typical warm up and listening to music. I also visualize the route in my head, I am terrible with directions so I'm always nervous about taking a wrong turn

[@noelmurray4573]

Usually I would plan on being at the race in time to soak up the atmosphere , get changed have a little snack and head off to the start . I race now for "Fun times not race times" and just want to really enjoy the day and be great full I'm able to do it . Keep well 🙂

[@robkateheap]

My pre-race ritual is to double check the transition in/outs, check out land sighting points for the swim in case I can't see the bouys. Finally (and possibly most importantly) try to remember to go to the portaloo before I put my wetsuit on! Thanks for the videos and well done at ponds forge.

[@MikiDahab]

My pre race ritual lately has been arriving very close to the start time. Nothing more awakening than thinking you'll be late, specially for early morning races 😂 Loved the video, congrats on the records! 🎉

[@embosurf]

Breathing and meditation on my day in the Race Course. Love the video ❤

[@rogerhipwell7030]

Pre-Race Ritual typically hits the high point with the Redbull, Rice Krispie bar, and IB Profen (I’m in my 50’s) just before the start! (Lucy - It has been fun watching you compete at some other types of events - like Zwift and the Poll - to mix things up a bit. Looking forward to you being back and healthy in full form!)

[@shooglypeg]

Another great video. Pre-race is always breathwork and some dynamic stretching :)

[@eperjon1]

Thanks for a great video! My pre race ritual is a coffein gel, a warm up routine and going through the swim course in my head.

[@joannaradoslavova4399]

I honestly both love and despise the morning before a race start. I hate feeling stressed, but I also really enjoy being able to let go and trust the work I have put in so far. Usually I get up around 3 hours before the start, loading up with some flapjacks is essential. I then manage my kit, go over the plan for the race and head to the start line to warm up.

[@kikkiki55]

Pre race bagel and peanut butter banana…..hydration…. Listen to sis- unstoppable loud on route to transition. 💗💗 Welldone on swim, got to see you at London T100 setting up transition. You’ve inspired me so much in triathlon, xx

[@andrewnguyen2154]

My pre-race ritual/routine is pretty simple. I put my goggles on and take a few breaths, imagining the task ahead. I slap my chest a few times (which is less satisfying with a wetsuit on), and I bark like Joe Skipper if it's a triathlon. Pure swim races have less anonymity, so I avoid the barking there. Instead, I step on the starting block twice with my right foot before the whistle is blown for me to stand on it. Great video! Your fundraising efforts are super admirable, too.

[@rugilebausyte9476]

Thanks for the video! My pre race ritual is doing some breathing exercises to calm the nerves down 😊

[@TheBroomt]

Gz for setting a new record 🙌🏽. My pre-race routine is to calm down, run the race in my head and after this focus phase I hear aggressive music to push me hard.

[@Koalaredbear]

My pre race rituals: Always wake up 3 hours ahead. Have my favorite breakfast, pancake 🥞 and get to the start line for warm up. The one important thing is counting the gels in the morning before packing.

[@shawndeboer8233]

Pre-race - first off, I prefer an even-numbered race bib number. Feng Shui and all that... Also, pre-swim start is all about gratitude. Just being at the start line (sprint, half, IM) is a grace bestowed. Cheers LCB and team!

[@jessicatesterman3758]

Eat so.e carbs, a gel, warm up and then pray that everything goes well.... I love you Lucy you are an inspiration to me❤

[@nichtsistunmoglich7249]

My pre-race routine is: it's best to arrange to meet up with friends beforehand, then turn the music up loud and either go out with friends or alone and have fun. It's best, especially in winter, not to think too much about the weather and just get going :) 🏃‍♀💪

[@Skyline9476]

Great job the two of you! I wish someday I might be able to swim even 100m at that pace. As for my pre race ritual: A couple minutes of meditation/deep breathing and then (if I´m outside) look up into the sky and sun and take in the moment. Try to appreciate that I am fortunate to spend my time racing and start the race with a smile on my face :)

[@xrz100]

Excellent swim results and nice reading glasses. Prerace ritual for me (56) is to have my running shoes washed as it motivates me having shiny neon or white shoes on my feed in contrast to the slight sun tained legs - does not work out every triathlon due to rain, but the mayority of it.

[@harrietb4492]

Love all of your videos, your motivation is so inspiring! My pre-comp ritual starts by packing my bag with everything I’ll need for the day (same bag I’ve used for years that my dad gave me😂). Then morning of its it’s either oats or dippy eggs, coffee and getting plenty of water on board, followed my listening to my pre-race playlist on route

[@MilenaKauertz]

Amazing! You are my biggest hero and idol in this sport and literally the reason I started out doing triathlon. I am an 18 year old German athlete and I just qualified for the IM World Champs next year. So thank you so much for being such a star to all young girls out there. Pre race ritual: Get good quality sleep the night prior (at least as best as I can;), get up and immediately put on compression socks to have super fresh legs, hydrate and eat som easy digestible carbs, get good music to hype me up and try to focus and relax till the start to be able to enjoy the race and deliver the beste performance 😊

[@Team_MFH]

I’m in swim masters now. I’m 10. You have been a big influence in my life.

[@KyleSTriathlon]

Congradulations on an amazing swim!! I receantly started competing in triathlon. Doing my first Olympic distance in March! My pre-race ritual is to go early and set up everything before the majority of the competetors show up and give my self time to scout the course so I know how to orientate myself in transitions!

[@Jonas-v6k]

Inpiring as always! My pre-race ritual is definitely preparing all gear the day before and triple checking everything, however, I still feel the anxiety of missing something 😅 Right before start I need a few minutes alone to focus up and get in the right mental state

[@JessieAavang]

Wonderful! My pre race ritual is mac and cheese with coffee, then find a quiet spot to stare out into the water for a while to find some peace and comfort and think about the important things in life❤️

[@amyCSURAM]

Meticulously following my checklist & setting up all my gear,, snapping pictures before it goes in the transition bags or race backpacks. If I panic about goggles or something, I can look at the pictures and know if it's in there! Thanks for the memory lane video!

[@knusper1]

I'm always getting super nervous so I prepare everything in advance and when I wake up I know exactly what to do. Multiple food options are prepared, hydration is ready and then I always allow enough time to settle before the race. I also tell myself constantly that I should not go out too fast because that is what I do wrong all the time. Hehe

[@jesspage1025]

My pre race ritual is setting myself aside from everyone, visualising what I’m about to do and lifting myself up with positive words and phrases. Thank you for all the videos

[@SockwearEngineer]

Great video! My pre-race routine is to take a few deep breaths, shake out the legs and think about what my goal is for the day!

[@manuelaorregosanint2970]

Hi lucy!! Congrats on breaking the record, you are just mind blowing!! Big fan over here from Colombia training for my first Iron Man 70.3 🤩! My pre-race ritual includes having my usual lucky breakfast, arriving early to the competition to get everything set up and clear my mind, and taking a moment to give myself empowering thoughts, reminding myself to trust in my training and believe in my abilities.

[@Duidelijk1]

Really fun video seeing you do these side events, it shows you both having just fun with a bit of fun competition! My pre-race has been the same since I did volleyball competition 20+ years ago and now when I run and bike. A good healthy breakfast with plain pasta and tomato ketchup with a seasoning of some salt. At the event itself, some good dance music and just mentally imaging how it will go. Seeing myself having a good time and fun in my mind. The results will just follow.

[@elka2palka]

I love our master swim meets! Our pool is quite old but we have an amazing community. Speaking about ritual. Not so much of the ritual but helps me that my husband is always send me to the transition, making sure that I got carbs, get a flash light if it's dark, getting me gloves, arm warmers, etc. I don't know what I would do without him.

[@csaba675]

My pre-race routine includes imagining all things that can go wrong and coming up with a way to turn it into positive and have a solution ready. It starts week before the race. And on the race-day: oatmeal / porridge. Having the same meal 1-2 hours before the start (irrespective of morning or evening race) gets me into the right mindset.

[@SAMBAM-Gets-It]

My pre-race ritual usually consists a far too short warm up, some token / not enough stretching, followed by the pre-race nerves & panicking that I need another wee! I always mean well, but I get caught up in the atmosphere and have a 'what's the worst that can happen' mind-frame! lol These videos have inspired me to get back into triathlon, and I'm now part of my local club with the view to completing the first multisport event since I was 14 in the new year! Keep them coming, they're hugely inspirational

[@TheRogueMonkeyPodcast]

Great to see you both! What a team you guys are 💙

[@Asrethet]

My pre race/competition ritual always has been listening to some music in a corner away from the people and think about how i want to race and remind myself of the training i have done. This really calms me down and gets me ready for the challenge ahead

[@matthewchubb1]

Great initiative Lucy and Reece, keep up the great work!

[@erictravis5995]

Great video - what a swim. My pre-race ritual is an early wake up, eggs and toast for breakfast with a tea to get things moving (several trips to the bathroom), then a red bull 1hour before start time!

[@TheRosalia15]

I started rather recently going on races, but what I've done is wake up 30 minutes before having to leave the house, eating a bagel with jam and on the way y blast my running playlist to wake up and get me in the mood.

[@sarareza3818]

My pre race ritual starts the night before: making my overnight oats, put every kit and clothes on the couch/table, so i can be organised properly. On the day i only focus on getting as relaxed as i can be, therefore i often pray before getting into the water. Oh and i always check time to time that my earrings aren’t lost during the race😂

[@megdoh]

My pre race ritual involves some fretting but I try and work on my breathing and listening to quiet music to slow my heart rate down… I try and eat some carbs - toast and butter or toast and peanut butter along with oatmeal and chocolate protein powder mixed in. A banana about 30 mins before race time and some water as well. I also try and remember the journey to the race, the good days and the not so good and I try and congratulate myself for making it there. Thank you for your videos, they really keep me going!

[@Trevorhewitt-o1u]

That brings back some memories 😄 I last swam National Masters at Ponds Forge in 1992... I'd already made the switch to Tri's when my second call club got in touch and asked if I'd swim the freestyle leg in the 4x50 Medley relay because they had a good team but lacked a decent freestyle sprinter at that time... so I had 6 weeks to switch from 1500m open water swimmer back into a freestyle sprinter 😆 I was two stone underweight for sprinting and down on power but my fitness was off the chart after all that Tri training 😂 Am 60+ now and still do the local Sprint Tri once a year 🙂

[@nataliiamoroz]

The ritual is spending a few minutes alone in calm to remind myself about a purpose and what I’m raising for ☺️ Congrats on the record!

[@felipegaviria68]

My pre race ritual is two rice cakes with pb&j and some coffee, arrive with plenty of time to stretch, warm up and listen to some Black Pumas. Loved the video! I would love to someday complete a full ironman

[@haileypickett1631]

My pre-race ritual is first listening to some 'pump' music with a high temp... then I make sure to consume easily-digestible carbs, do some static and dynamic stretching, AND SMILE OF COURSE 😁 Right before my race I think about everything I'm thankful for and who I am racing for: myself and my family. Then I rip in and hopefully do my best!

[@peterandrewchua4672]

My pre race rituals is meditate pray to have a safe race and carbo loading.Congratulations Ms.Lucy good job!God bless always!❤❤❤

[@MultiWhatever1001]

My pre (tri) race ritual: - get the there in time 😂 - a little jog. - in water for 10 min, easy strokes , sighting practices - a gel 10 min before start.

[@evealexandra4367]

My pre race ritual is pretty simple - lots of rest, some good simple food the day before , and stretching whilst listening to a meditation to get my head in a calm place. Congrats on the record🎉

[@jamiefuhrman403]

My pre-race ritual is a second bathroom stop, a warmup jog, and a series of dynamic stretches and movements. I also like to arrive at transition early to make sure everything is as I like. And lots of visualization!

[@chrispaties]

Great video guys! I don’t really have a pre race ritual yet doing my first half Ironman in July next year! Could be a great video to make for us newbies!

[@tessaventer]

Awesome video! My pre race ritual is spending some quiet time with a cup of coffee remembering how far I’ve come and mentally preparing to race. I then put on a bit of Eminem and get ready for go time 🔥

[@jacobgadd2603]

Great video!! My pre race ritual is blasting music while singing in the bathroom for after the pre race nervous poops 😅 it’s odd but it works for me!! I also try and wake up my boyfriend who is normally asleep by the time I start the race!

[@georgiasoutside1162]

Love the videos and huge ammount of respect for the Cameo donations . I dont have a pre-race ritual but my post race ritual is always a photo of me and the dog wearing the medal. Which i guess i think about during a race too

[@jamesnegus9798]

Amazing record well done LCB. Pre race ritual is boiled egg mayonnaise wrap whilst breathing exercises and visualising the race stages. Boiled eggs are the key though!

[@mirjamtalen8186]

Great video again, love it!! My race or workout ritual is that I always put both of my bike or running shoes on and than I tight them :) I can't put one on and tight it before the other one is also on my foot 😅😂 (maybe not the best thing in transition 🙈)

[@alansmith2593]

Awesome video Thanks lots🙏 My pre race ritual is: 1. Watch an inspirational race video night before 2. Wake up super early and eat porridge with banana and honey nom 3. Put my race ready rainbow socks and race kit on 4. Select one of the many banging tunes I’ve Shazamed from these videos and dance around the kitchen till it’s time to get out there and send it woop 🌊🙂

[@laurencharltonn]

Loved watching this! Is there anything you can’t do!?😮 pre race meal is always a bagel with peanut butter, banana, cinnamon, honey and pink salt 2-3 hours before, then 3-4km warm up jog, drills, strides, change shoes, and 1000+ visits to the Porto loo! When I’m on the start line I always take one deep breath and just remind myself this is supposed to be fun!😊

[@emmanuellepiche1737]

Great video as always!! My pre comp ritual back when I was competing in snowboarding consisted in visualizing my run 3 times while sitting on top of the half pipe in absolute silence before all the other competitors would arrive. The calm before the storm kind of thing. I never won so I guess it didn't work hahahahah
