Exploring Austria | Lucy Charles-Barclay

[@caroljohnson8817]

Lucy, your swimming is poetry in motion. Absolutely captivating to me. I admire your work ethic and drive. You are inspiring to even the older community like me, I’m 73!

[@lukashufnagel2666]

The wedding party was the president of the Salzburg Triathlon Federation believe it or not, so depending on who you ask he might be considered a big deal 🤣

[@axodarap]

You being excited about the cable car is precious! Glad you‘re doing better!

[@LucyCharlesBarclay]

Thank you! 🙌😅

[@michaelkulac3445]

Dear Lucy, this was our wedding and I can tell you, yes I do triathlon as well and I am the president of the Salzburg triathlon federation 😂 what a surprise for my Wife and me to see us in your video. If I new that you were there maybe we invite you to our wedding 😜

[@eira777]

As an Austrian it's especially nice to see how much you loved your visit. And yes, those cable cars are and adventure! I remember as a kid when we went skiing there was this single-person chair lift. It only had a flimsy safety bar to pull across your lap. I had nightmares for years of going up that lift and being stuck (which happened frequently because of the wind and then the chair would swing side to side or back and forth). Much better riding in a cable car! 😅 Hope you come back to Austria soon!

[@simonejulian3266]

Congratulations again to you, Lucy and Reese, and everyone behind your big victory this year, I wish nothing but good things to come for both of you in 2024, you are inspiring me as I am training for the half Iron Man in June on Kona, half distances, but still in a very sacred place I will be thinking of you and hope that I do well happy new year. Cheers!

That's good to hear and see your recovery program progress! Enjoy this rest period, now is the time. It's nice to see you as such a joy of life. We're all waiting for your return to the competition fire. Wish you good luck in your endeavors!❤❤❤

[@UnwarrierChicken]

Fantastic video, loved it!

[@aris_tri5307]

You’re so lucky having your sister around ! I feel like it’s such a special connection when you spend quality time with your sibling as a grown up ! 💕

[@mntbike3700]

Enjoyed this series very much, thanks for letting us join you inside Red Bull HQ and that beautiful town

[@baaart333k]

Great to see you recover ! Go Lucy, we’re with you !

[@AndreMorais92]

Amazing video and sights from Austria! A big shout out to Lucy, the Team and Red Bull!

[@Stickygoma]

Thanks for reminding us to take a bit of time "off" once and a while!

[@MarceloG..]

WOW Lucy... I knew Red Bull was big, but what an amazing company. And don't get me started with the town and lake. Now I want to work there 😎. Can't wait to see how you will RULE when you get back racing!!!

[@floheigl]

Groom at 9:20 actually looks my boy Michael K. who - believe it or not - is not only a triathlete but also the president of the regional triathlon federation of Salzburg! If you had approached him, I'm sure he would have recognized you as a triathlon-superstar and invited you for the party ;-)

[@jenpickard]

Another banging video :) That lake is swimming goals!!!

[@HotelJakob]

Was so nice to having you here. Hope to see you soon!

[@LucyCharlesBarclay]

Thanks for having us! ❤️

[@sarahs4747]

Keep them videos coming You are a big inspiration for me Personally 💖

[@LucyCharlesBarclay]

Thank you! Will do!

[@theatricshrink]

Less then 3h drive for me to get there. Awesome place, have been multiple times. Zwölferhorn is a must see, seems you really enjoyed it as well.

[@embosurf]

Lucy The helicopter ride was insane 🤯🙌 I think that have been one of the coolest trip you ever share with us. Thank you for sharing 💙

[@losocski]

Cracking up that you were giggling in the helicopter but scared of the cable car🤩🤣

[@manolin.6597]

Such a good vibes vid! Thanks for sharing, made me smile 🤗.

[@Amanda_K_001]

I can relate to the cable car jitters, don't try the one in London either!

[@JessieDolan1]

Great video! it'd be cool to see a video about you and Holly and how you decided to work together on the channel.

[@giusepperusso9198]

Great video… nice places!!! Thanks

[@jasminrosenberger7199]

I'm glad you had a good time in my home village, unfortunately the weather was anything but nice. Regarding the wedding, Maria & Michael Kulac married and nooo they are not famous but at the music club Mondsee, therefore so many people ;) Welcome back!

[@sodaresoda]

Wish you the best Lucy.

[@kayeman001]

so jealous of your heli trip with the "Red Bull Airforce" and in the AH 125 - awesome machine, clearly piloted by someone who knows what they are doing, and in awesome scenery

[@LucyCharlesBarclay]

Yeah it was a really awesome flight! 🚁 Thanks for watching!

[@nigelgittins]

Amazing too see inside redbull

[@gracebarrett-johnson]

I’ve never been so happy to watch a 19 minute ad for a company whose products I don’t want or use

[@theresamortl5453]

so cool to see my home in your videos 👌🏻

[@michaelkulac3445]

Und die Hochzeitsgesellschaft solltest du auch kennen Daysi 😎

[@shoneyman]

Excellent video Lucy :-) I hate that all of this is the result of an injury, but is amazing to see you really enjoying yourself away from the pressures of racing and training, put a huge smile on my face :-) And as someone who's skied for most of his life, was so endearing to see your enthusiasm for the 'cable car', 'novelty' is such an undervalued experience in life :-) Although a wee technical point!! It wasn't actually a cable-car you were on, was a 'gondola'. A gondola is like an enclosed chairlift, with lots of small (4-8 people) cabins. A cable-car is a massive cabin which can hold between 100-200 people, and there's only two cabins, one going up, and one coming down (simultaneously and counter-balancing each other). Sorry to be a pedantic bore!!

[@maggiesmith1757]

Good to see u are moving around without crutches ....onwards u go

[@wout123]

That is a coincidence: this saturday the Mozart 100 trail running event takes place. The main distances also go via St Gilgen and Fuchsl! Great to see you recovering and enjoying yourself! It also is amazing what a huge company red bull is😮

[@mikes7654]

Crazy question for ya, is there a good amount of English spoken there ?, assuming there is ? It looks beautiful there ….. I’m editing this ….. to say, how much I really enjoyed this video Lucy 😀👍. Great video 👍👍. Thanks 😊

[@greglummis]

The gondola fear is hilarious

[@colecoleman1499]

KITTY 🐈🐈🐈

[@Claire_16]

The cable car - hilarious 😂- guess you are not a skier.

[@sportkanone3912]

Haha, that looks like the wedding of the president of the triathlon community of Austrians federal state Salzburg. I know him in person😄

[@sportkanone3912]

What a coincidence, or not?😉

[@fold1805]

You are great athlete

[@LucyCharlesBarclay]

Thank you ❤️

[@BradForrest]

AlphaTauri!!!

[@VictoriaMorganawesometori]

I wanna know why you insisted on yellow over red

[@robynclemence1369]

I think maybe because the old ones were red and so she felt like it was too close to the old ones 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@srbmckenzie]

Cable cars are terrifying... especially when you cross over the support pillars and DROP off the back...

[@AshRolls]

Doesn't like heights and gets scared on a cable car... Next day, gets in a helicopter with a stunt pilot and bombs a load of mountain cliffs while loving it 🤣

[@King-pi2zx]

Have you eaten kaiserschmarrn or Wiener schnitzel 😆😂

[@LucyCharlesBarclay]

We love kaiserschmarrn! ❤️

[@bargen44]

Rehab and reset trip.

[@kayeman001]

and even better still, you got to go into the other hangar, that a normal member of the public never gets to see

[@laurencharltonn]

Did you find it difficult seeing other athletes training around you? Like you can delete social media to avoid it but being in the presence is difficult to avoid?

[@miroslavivanovitch384]

I understand Red Bull is doing a lot of good for athletes in all sports But how thee athletes do deal with the fact they are promoting such a shitty and unhealthy beverage for money ? Would you promote drinking Red Bull if they didn't give you tons of cash ? I doubt it

[@susanveenstra2544]

Wedding > Sandra Lahnsteiner

[@keithp7010]

Mrs.Charles-Barclay, forgive me for what I say next. But this was not my favorite video. 😁 Only because I prefer not to see those exuberant risk perhaps your youth requires of you? World's greatest female athlete ever and cable car, seem hardly the combination necessary for anyone's entertainment! How terrified you must have been! I was terrified! I'd maybe rather watch you knit. 😁 All in good fun. Cheers!

[@susanveenstra2544]

Oh no, wrong

[@michaelkulac3445]

no it was my wedding hihi

[@AlexGerassis]

Do you gain weight all this time you are injured?

[@josefstone7604]

Stop with the body shaming man :(

[@AlexGerassis]

@@josefstone7604 Is weight something to shame about? And first of all Lucy's answer help all of us how to organise our diet in periods of injury. Gain or loose weight is something normal in human body. What are you? Abnormal?

[@erab6539]

She’s working with the best in the industry, whatever her weight, she’s certainly doing what she needs to in order to heal properly. What a stupid comment.

[@stuge7340]

I don’t think he’s body shaming, weight is an important factor in performance and I personally struggle to keep on top of mine when I can’t run as much as I usually do and aren’t burning the calories. It would be useful to know how a professional manages that.

[@sarabt]

I think that little extra weight looks good on her but that's no one's business

[@notmyrealname6272]

Just sprained my knee in FIRST long run of marathon plan. Arghh. Can’t bend it or put weight on it and it’s like a balloon. Don’t have your patience for recovery. Any tips?? So disappointed. I’ll start with a can of red bull and close my eyes and think of Austria. Maybe that’ll help?! Also pretty sure it’s caused by biomechanics. So annoying. Should I get a painting by numbers and stick a biro in my eye? Sorry just being silly. ;-) You’re looking super strong. How you’ve coped is anyone’s guess. 💪🏻💪🏻🦵🏻🦵🏻👏🏻👏🏻✅✅
