[@dr.plinioferraz7212]

Congratulations your such an inspiration for a beginner like me. I'm working hard trying to get a better time on my Sprint triathlon here in Brazil.

[@thatprcrawlerguy187]

Congrats Taren, we just did a sprint yesterday and I placed 6th in my age group, very pleased with that time considering I just started training in February, wife two kids, and a crazy job, lol.

[@roelarends6457]

Nice race Taren, congrats... I guess you're not just talk, but you delivered the goods 💪

[@davidsmith2953]

Contagious enthusiasm Taren! Great race report.

[@Planetarypilgrim2]

Great Day for you! Congratulations! Sounds like you put it all together for this race! Transitions, pacing, etc. It is good to have these kind of races,

[@dennisflory2004]

Dude, love the videos. Just did my first sprint triathlon last weekend at 57. I’m in love. Thanks go to you as I watched you videos as I ran on the dreadmill. Not a typo. Keep up the encouraging videos.

Incredible time, last Olympic gold was about 10min quicker than you!! What was your training plan? I'm trying to get a sub 2:30 but I'm more like 2:50 at the moment

[@relikvija]

I have a friend in Lynn Lake. I wonder how winter triathlon would look like:)

[@xGshikamaru]

Awesome job man ! What’s crazy about this is marathon swim was not too long ago, yet you already got that speed back ! If Josh was here that means TheTriGuy was there too, wasn’t he ? Talk about motivation for Ironman Austin 70.3 !

[@alanruffin6473]

Great inspiration! I totally suck at Triathlon but for some reason keep doing em...lol Thanks for the motivation and congrats from Chicago!!

[@immerchriswell7924]

Sounds like lots of new chances for Pat to add on the pain during the next few months!

[@kov1]

Awesome video and awesome performance as well! I'm new to triathlon and your channel has helped me a lot! I had my second ever OD race last weekend. Overall I'm pretty happy with the race, but the first 4k of the run were pretty rough. I was feeling close to stomach cramps and had to dial back my pace quite a bit. Now I'm contemplating whether I should change my nutrition strategy, or if it's just a case of starting the run at a slower pace. Do you have any wisdom in that regard?

[@Baby75xx]

congratulation great race

[@alexludwig_music]

Amazing, congrats!!!

[@gloubiz]

Great job! Grazy time boom!

[@kerstentheuma460]

Great time man 💪💪

[@thetravelingrunner1887]

Great job brother!

[@Sam55600]

congrats dude. great content

[@alexian81]

Awesome race and great story telling skills. Impressive work from Mel with the footage as well. Loved the drone action from the transition area. Did you get both Overall 2nd place and 1st place in age group classification? I saw in another video that you are allowed to get only one of the best of them, so I guess only 2nd Overall?

[@TriathlonTaren]

Got both

[@nathanrs1016]

WOW so impressive!! It's funny how important the cycling is :O On my last olympic tri, i was a minute slower in the water, 2 minutes faster on the run.... but I was 15 minutes slower on the bike ^^'

[@s44Strike]

Great video love the raceday stuff. Any trainiacs coming doing the ITU Grand Final in Rotterdam?

[@TriathlonTaren]

+Jasper W yep, Trevor from my training group

[@AaronGale85]

Just came across your channel mate. I am a half arsed road cyclist. Wanting to get into triathlons. I am a shocking swimmer. Never got lessons so I'm a rock in water. I'm 36 yo. I've just got myself a wetsuit. Hasn't seen water yet. Where do I start? I feel I would be fine on the bike and can run atm about 4.25 klms over 5 klms. How long should I train before giving it a crack? As I said. It's the swim that scares me mate.

[@ohpeezy84]

Holy Smokes 2:05 Olympic distance.... Congrats Taren!

[@letterandjournal7338]

awesome job!

[@msquitad746]

Awesome!!!

[@alekseigutierrez8230]

[@georgenicola3730]

Yes! Well done :D

[@sethtgray9932]

Dang that awesome

[@muziknonstop]

[@jeffmoffat2260]

Great race! Did you scout the course prior? Love the tips keep um coming

[@TriathlonTaren]

No, not at all... no time for that!

[@Try2Tri]

[@TriathlonTaren]

+Stijn De Schepper yep!

[@SamanthaJayneBrown]

Nailed it!!! Feeling insipoed! X

[@sirgleyaragao_ac]

Qual volume de treino voce recomenda pra essa distancia?

[@NourLababidi]

Nice!

[@TheFarrOutpost]

What's a spring/olympic/short course triathlon? How are you giving times without distances? lol.

[@dannytwosocks]

Do you think if you moved onto tri shoes you would lose power on the bike?

[@gabbechico8471]

you have any videos how u lay up our energi intake during a triathlon?

[@bluematches2992]

@Taren, what was your FTP back then?

[@jeremysweeten2792]

"Cue the deer"

[@robertphilip6649]

What age group are you taren?

[@mgn_tr.i]

How do you record your times/power during your race?

[@kimcampbell297]

What’s the distance for each transition on these events??

[@mitchstowman]

What super hydration potion are you drinking? Congrats on an awesome race!

[@TriathlonTaren]

+Mitchell Stowman Hey, sorry to be a turd and not answer right here but I'm trying to answer questions here in triathlontaren.com/forums/ ? So that future trainiacs can search and get answers to common questions instead of replying here and having the answers disappear into the social-media old post abyss. It also helps us out to have an active forum so I’ll answer your question, future trainiacs can see the answer, and it helps me out WIN-WIN-WIN. Would you mind asking there for me to get back to you?

[@therealquanza]

Seriously impressive time. Just completed the Kisarazu triathlon on Sunday and have a long ways to go :) Btw, where are your soundtracks from? Digging the BGM.

[@californiaexplorer5836]

First in AG! Congrats!!

[@Ramin233]

Yeaaaaa!!!!

[@cicirunner]

So a 9 min PR? Congrats!

[@cicirunner]

It will be interesting how you do next year. Courses can vary a lot but doing the same races each year is the best measuring stick for progress. I do the same few races each year and add a few new in as well.
