DAY IN THE LIFE of an athlete

[@DiscoStu1970]

Lola wondering what is going on. Love it! PS you should get a Squirrel obstacle course (see Mark Rober's KZbin video)...

[@MarceloG..]

Finding out the drill was in reverse.... priceless!!!! Probably one of the funniest things I've seen. Get better soon Lucy!

[@vpsavpsa9441]

I have watched a lot of your videos and your journey in the triathlon world, you are fantastically great and motivate many here. Hope you heal quickly from injury and can compete again soon. I'm injured right now, and it's forbidden to compete before autumn. It's so hard to stay out of the competition. Wish you a lot of success and will be looking forward to seeing your new videos!!!

[@LucyCharlesBarclay]

Thank you! Best wishes with your recovery too! ❤️‍🩹

[@LifewithJennaandRonnie]

Omg. We have squirrel feeders too! Love it. Sadly our little friends ate 4 wire harnesses in our truck a couple weeks ago but we still love them. 🐿🐿

[@k.baitsonfitness176]

I really enjoy these videos !! Lucy you are such an inspiration to me and as a youth triathlete I look up to you and I really wish you the best when you get back . You will come back better than ever and I wish you the best of luck !!

[@LucyCharlesBarclay]

Thank you! ❤️

I think this is the best video yet, what a laugh 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for sharing, and another ace video Holly 👌

[@paulbrennan4210]

Squirrel Watch…. 😂. Reece’s next birthday present to you … a DIY course 😂Loved the Vid and well done Holly.

[@aw1273]

Just loved the squirrel cam 😂 I hope you’re recovering as good as possible! Just heard that Jan is also injured and had to withdraw from St. George! The 2 Super favorites missing 😢 Hope to see you and Jan back in Kona 🍀🙏💪

[@yetogoicolea586]

Im happy to see that you're taking this well, with positive vibes and lots of mindfulness; the ice bath looks cool (pun intended) and thanks for uploading all these cool videos. A friendly hello wishing you the best from Guatemala City, Guatemala.

[@3ddrew691]

Watching Lucy out that squirrel box was hilarious. Going in reverse and forcing it in lmao.

[@stephcummings5917]

Remember...lefty loosey, righty tighty! 🤣 That should help for all DIY projects in the future! 🤣 Loved this video!

[@antoniocasablancasvilanova2207]

I hope you are feeling better and that recovery is on track. I will follow it since I had a crash with my bicycle, and broke my trochanter; thus your recovery journey will motivate me...a lot!

[@sarahs4747]

I am a Big Fan Lucy. You really motivate me. Hope to continue watching your videos in the future as well. Good Luck on your Recovery! 😊

[@LucyCharlesBarclay]

Thanks for watching! Stay tuned for more updates coming soon ☺️

[@dc100dc100]

Use ice immersion only acutely (when you need to recover quickly).. after an event, between multiple events, etc. There’s evidence that shows that it blunts the adaptations after training, so do not use chronically after training.

[@christoph_wattever]

Finally also some Reece screen time as well😊 all the best to both of you😊

[@mikestaub]

Wishing you a speedy recovery!

[@sarahhokanson5391]

The squirrel cam 😂. Brilliant.

[@michaelf3883]

I hope you feel better soon! Thank you for your videos as they helped me do my first triathlon this past weekend!

[@notmyrealname6272]

Well done! I did my first at the end of March and got totally lost on the bike!! Duh.

[@LucyCharlesBarclay]

Congrats! That’s amazing news 🤩

[@michaelf3883]

@@LucyCharlesBarclay Thank you!!! My next goal is to do a 70.3!

[@Neiler16]

Love the squirrel cam… you’re all nuts!! Speaking of, check out Wim Hof for some inspiration on cold therapy and benefits. Good luck with recovery for both of you. Pulling for the Charles-Barclays.

[@Goggsy08]

Squirrels are a MENACE! Other than the squirrel piece it was a really lovely vid to see a day in the life. Great call on the cold water therapy tub! Highly rate them. Win Hof all the way!!!!!!

[@laurencharltonn]

Hey Lucy! Hope you are doing well. When you feel up to it I would love a video around your mental and physical (massage, diet, movement etc) approach to injury/rest if possible?

[@CarsonBronnenberg]

Love your squirrel feeder! What music do you like to listen to during training?

[@heatherthorpe5641]

Hope you recover fast Lucy! Can you elaborate on what exercises are in your strength program?

[@jassaljs]

Love the way you laugh! Please take care and take rest. The ice bath seems a good idea👍

[@mathiassommerqvist9784]

I ice bath 3 times a week. now when I train, for example, on a bicycle, I can have the same watts but a 10 beats lower heart rate. other days I take a cold shower. always before training. I take a sauna after training. took 8 days for me to take effect.

[@oimirae]

love that squirrel cam

[@LouiseDoddsRun]

Hope you recover soon Lucy 🤗

[@crankgreenwatts]

Very well done Lucy .. I've just moved up to 🅰 Cat and got my *** handed to me 🤣 Good have used your ice-bath after that race 🧊 Keep on a great rehab journey and look forward to you racing again soon 🤞 Be aware of a left handed screwdriver as-well 🤣 Awesome looking after the wildlife the Squiggles will love it 💚

[@TemaSurfer]

The pompom beanie is awesome!

[@danielgibson654]

I literally watch your other day in the life video everyday. That’s how good it was😂

[@LucyCharlesBarclay]

Ahhh thank you so much!! ☺️

[@gruszkayogi]

The ice baths! haha love it. Lucy, you gotta do some Wim Hof! :p that will help you in the ice baths. Love the squirrels

[@Sky-de9ps]

You guys made me laugh today. Thank you for that!

[@notmyrealname6272]

My brother has just built his second hedgehog hotel in the garden. Yeah. It’s like wind in the willows at our house! So nice for my mum who can’t get out much to watch them in the garden coming and going. ❤️ animals. :))

[@LucyCharlesBarclay]

That sounds lovely- maybe we will add that to our garden next! 😮🦔

[@notmyrealname6272]

@@LucyCharlesBarclay they’re so super cute. I really recommend it! He buys bedding for them in Amazon and stuff. You can watch them cruising about at night! (Maybe more practical as an injury time passer than learning the violin which was my last suggestion haha)

[@maggiesmith1757]

Most people have a hot tub....not you two..get well soon keep up the resting and painting .Maggie

[@radrunning8535]

Thank you for a very informative video.

[@bochluge]

We were taught at the Olympic Training Center to ice then a hot tub .. they wanted the pulsating hot water to hit the muscles.. curious how the sauna will compare.. also, are u going to do a video on Reese and what his diagnosis is, how it was treated, is he on any meds,are there any limitations for training and how is he feeling? This would be great info for the dudes who may be going through similar issues.

[@LucyCharlesBarclay]

Yes Reece is planning to do a video covering this soon 👍👍

[@eitanshushu]

Looks you have an amzing krib and other facility, pro level

[@JeffRElliott]

"The squirrels are over the moon, by the way" :D

[@laurencharltonn]

What happened to the good old wheelie bin 😂

[@CoachSalsaLuli]

Always, always, always wear safety goggles! It's like the bike helmet of the DIY world. :winkie:

[@michele73michele]

you guys are funny... normal people would have ordered an hot tub 🤣 - anyway wish you a speedy recovery

[@cdnnurse01]

Omg the ice bath, brrrr hope your healing well

[@zaidalgailany5707]

Thank you

[@firminodias4419]

The two best triathletes in the world are injured and will miss the WC. And also my two favorite triathletes. I will not be the same.

[@LucyCharlesBarclay]

Gutting, but I’m sure we’ll both be back soon 💪🏻

asics sponsorship seems locked in although probably not the best time to announce it

Cakes and salads nah gah du it. Doc prescribes bacon and eggs.

Hundreds of Finns doing it daily through the winter... there must be something in it 😎🇫🇮

Make sure those squirrels 🐿 don’t get into your house or gym as they like chewing through your cables 👌🏻

[@medad5413]

A question, I noticed you breath through your mouth, any comments on this? I heard nose breathing is the best.

[@jamesd5241]

watching Lucy with the drill was as painful as it was comical. good effort though

[@notmyrealname6272]

I knew you were hardcore but that ice bath looks agony. How are you doing that without swearing?!?
