Challenge Cancun Triathlon Race | Nick Bare

[@YP2016]

“He started the bike at 195th place. At the end of the bike 76th overall.” WOW.

[@lnoite]

Not uncommon for poor swimmers. Specially at his size, and it being all muscle, the water is rough. Plus, out of those 120 people, a good amount are the "swimming background" athletes. Anyone that swam competitively will swim circles even around guys like Lionel Sanders. So this really is not unexpected. The water is just a different element, you can't grow into it unless you literally grew in it. With cycling you see a tone of athletes going pro later in life without a cycling-specific background, Cam Wurf is one, but there are tones of examples. You wouldn't see this with swimming. You have to start young.

[@YP2016]

@@lnoite That explains why he spent the least amount of time training for the swim portion, even though it’s clearly his weakness.

@@lnoite Cam was a pro cyclist that went to triathlon that is now doing cycling again.

[@smb06]

@@YP2016 Correct. The amount of time it takes to improve swimming is huge compared to how much you can improve on the bike (until you reach a certain level). I'm a slower swimmer myself.. just raced Gulf Coast 70.3 on the 15th.. I was out of the water in 38 minutes (faster than nick) but I was 412th after the swim.. but 87th after the bike (did a 2:21 bike split) I came in around a similar time as Nick's half but I still have a lot of ground to make up on the run before I consider focusing on my swim ( I did a 1:58 half marathon..)

[@oreldanino1]

Very inspired by how you’ve grown over the year’s as a person, athlete & business leader’ since your army days! Keep at it Nick, proud supporter!

[@vandalecchino2]

I can't believe it's been seven months already. Really shows how if you put your head down and do the task at hand, time truly flies and you get to reap the rewards. Like always, awesome video!

Running in the heat is killer. Maybe getting some afternoon runs in the Texas heat are a good way to prep for an event in this climate. Way to grit it out man.

[@marcusfahie916]

That’s what I do here in Georgia to prepare for my fall/winter races

[@Tommyl1997]

Man, I’ve been invested in this every week for the past 6 months and it finally happening made me emotional! What a finish to a crazy season. Super inspirational, can’t wait to see what’s next to come

[@FitLabb]

What an epic video! Your video & editing team is incredible, as is your effort put into training & competing in this race! Truly inspiring Nick 💪👍

[@matthiasgobel7111]

It's happening. What everyone was waiting for!

[@NickKoumalatsos82]

Damn! I could feel that one. Nice work as always my man. Definitely embraced the suck on that run.

[@taylormartin895]

I love that you narrated with video. Super helpful. Best vid yet

[@SvenKrevchenko]

Your media team deserves every penny they earn. Content just continues to get better and better

[@wyattmarshall23]

I’m always impressed by the editing on these videos, it really is amazing!

[@Legendarychamp]

Ive been thinking about doing one of these for the last 5 years great courage Nick.

[@R3DR1NG78]

Dude, these edits in these videos... I appreciate them! Nick and the BPN team, going one more in the physical and in the virtual 🤙

[@ttvance9206]

[@JonNgwisha]

Top 3 triathlon individual race videos ever!

[@CurrentJAM]

As one that is starting to learn how to make content, I have to give big props to your editor. They make the content very engaging and entertaining. I will be picking up some pointers as I watch your videos. The bonus is your hard work. It also motivates me. Thanks mate!

[@movalles28]

Good job Nick! It's good to show how we battle our demons when things don't go as planned on race day but that's only going to make next race that much sweeter!! #GOONEMORE

[@EverythingIsPhotogenic]

Great job on your race. Come back next year with some more training and you could be in striking distance of your 10 hour IM goal. If you're serious about going as fast as you can go, drop some mass and it can help with aerodynamics and heat acclimation. You have the luxury of full support, coaching, and flexible training time, make the most of it!

[@z2performance]

Awesome! Minute 13:59 fist bump dude - me! Great to meet you Nick!

[@travishackney709]

Hardest thing to learn in triathlon is not to overcook the bike when you are feeling good. Any gains you make there will be given back twofold on the run. Great Job in tough conditions!

[@Terrilyn_Austen]

that video is probably one of the best and fun videos you have done. Well Done

[@Dan_christian]

Wow what an excellent series my man, very well done! The music was BANGIN, the filming and editing was incredible, very educational and motivational. Thanks for sharing this incredible journey!
