Lee, Ruth - great video. Oh and that 5k run pace (and bike) - superb. Well done on getting on the podium and the worlds qualification.

[@TriathlonDan]

Cheers!

[@TheWeightliftingTriathlete]

I really enjoyed the first 15:32 of this video. Well done Lee, that run and bike pace is crazy! I thought Ruth is a natural on camera - a bit like Lee. Very watchable.

[@TriathlonDan]

Muahah :D thanks dude

[@joncadman4935]

A nonchalant 'World Qualifier' , huge congrats Lee and nice one Dan to let the guys loose with the camera once again👍

[@TriathlonDan]

He's used to bike racing, where if you haven't won then nobody cares haha. Cheers!

[@ampgb223]

Great insight well done guys, great video commentary, this had it all, PB, Bike off and a qualification Lee you should be sooo happy.

[@TriathlonDan]

Thanks very much, he smashed it!

[@ashturner4391]

Brilliant stuff Lee, the swimmings coming!

[@TriathlonDan]

Haha it sure is!

[@markscott5673]

Gutted I never spotted you Lee, I also competed on Sunday although in a different age group Wave 4 40-49 This was my first Duathlon and my wave was so tough, they dropped me within the first km 😂 although I also got a 5km PB so can’t complain. The head wind was pretty brutal in places and trying to remember to count laps was new for me, my overall time was 1hr 21 about what I expected. My support crew ended up in the video which was cool and they said they saw someone crash into T2 😂 awesome, hope the bike was ok. Well done and loved the footage 👍

[@TriathlonDan]

Nice one well done! I'm sure he will be back on the scene shortly :D

[@irondistance4313]

Well done Lee I could have sworn Dan said no carbon shoes and you rock up in a pair on the newest alpha fly 3’s hope your bike is ok.

[@TriathlonDan]

Haha I know I've got no chance now he's discovered those!

[@Richiemouse]

Well done Lee and Ruth great race and great video 👌

[@TriathlonDan]

Cheers!

[@johnclifford8140]

Spectacular performance Lee, I’m sure looking forward to your triathlon performance coming up.

[@TriathlonDan]

Cheers John!

[@deaneason780]

Well done Lee absolutely fantastic just imagine what you'll be like with a bit more practice and training💪👊

[@TriathlonDan]

Cheers buddy!

[@treyquattro]

great job Lee (as always). Some very good numbers there by my reckoning.

[@TriathlonDan]

Cheers! He did ok ;)

[@thedoginside]

Brilliant result Lee! 👏🏼

[@TriathlonDan]

Thanks 👍

[@lindawilson239]

Well done Lee 🙌🏻 brilliant performance🤗

[@TriathlonDan]

Thanks Linda!

[@Triathlon_Cabbie]

Great stuff Lee…. Blame the wind.

[@TriathlonDan]

Haha yes there was a gust ;)

[@Lazy_Jay_Racing]

Brilliant start to the sport, Lee 😁👍👏👏👏 you're run speed has really improved well 👌 you will have some established duathletes taking notice😊 😊😊

[@TriathlonDan]

Cheers Jay, he's really come on and with mostly just steady consistent running!

[@lindsaybeale2261]

Brilliant. Well done Lee. Fab time!! Great commentary Ruth. Thanks for he video:-))

[@TriathlonDan]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@timstriathlonjourneys7575]

Top work Lee, great result. Good luck at outlaw, and hopefully see you at the worlds. (I race standard distance, group riding not for me!)

[@TriathlonDan]

Cheers Tim! I think he plans to go to 2025 worlds!

[@jg2213]

17 min 5k is outstanding.

[@TriathlonDan]

nut's isn't it, he's been running 3 months haha

[@nathanmiles4503]

Well done Lee

[@TriathlonDan]

Smashed it didn't he! Cheers :)

[@leewalters2794]

Great effort, Lee. A couple of transition mishaps and a bit gung-ho at the start. So, you could go even faster!

[@TriathlonDan]

He's scarily close to winning the damn thing. 3 minutes, add up taking the wrong bike course into transition, the fall in T2, probably time to be gained in standard transition optimisation, he's got a great year ahead of him!

[@matcharlie2379]

Well done Lee. Always knew a decent cyclist could show those triathletes a thing or two.

[@TriathlonDan]

Haha yes especially the dismount

[@matcharlie2379]

@@TriathlonDan fair point, well made 🤣

[@JannisDohm]

graet video :) nice that you change it up from time to time

[@TriathlonDan]

Thanks!

[@JannisDohm]

@@TriathlonDan probably shouldn´t have watched Lee falling, did the same later yesterday :D probably not as epic and not on tape

[@leet1985]

@@JannisDohmhow are bike and rider?

[@JannisDohm]

@@leet1985 could ride home, so not to bad. The rear derailleur likes to sit inside the spokes now, and my hand is a bit bigger than normal but nothing that woudn't heal/ can´t be fixed.

17 min 5k 😳 you will be winning long eaton parkrun soon. well done mate. work on that dismount 🤣

Nuts isn't it !

it's kind of like Spartacus...

Never heard of him ;)

[@Greenphil111]
