I've signed up for a sprint triathlon | Swim, Bike, Run, Stu

[@RunSensible]

Holding off 8n the triathlon again this year as the missus is finishing off a Masters. So all eggs are in the running basket for the sub 3hr marathon attempt. Nice vid, Stu. 💪

[@SwimBikeRunStu]

Your other half is a legend for doing a masters. That's super time consuming and hard work. Fair play. And you training for a sub 3 marathon is no joke. Good luck with it 👊

[@harryruns1]

Looking forward to see how you do! That’s a pretty sweet garage set up by the way

[@SwimBikeRunStu]

Yeh it's not bad. Spend far to much time in it during winter. Need to get the walls all painted this summer and do loads of tip runs. But it's getting to how i want it. Just need a bigger garage 🤔

[@ampgb223]

Good work shifting the weight over the winter. Good luck with the triathlon.

[@SwimBikeRunStu]

Thankyou. Il do a video on my weight loss. Nothing magical just consistency 👌

[@markg99]

How long does it take to put a different bike on the turbo? That fan looked like a big relief!

[@SwimBikeRunStu]

It takes about 30 seconds to put it on. And then about 30 seconds to calibrate it. Super quick and easy. I just needed to put some pedals onto my TT bike. Hard to ride without them 🤣🤣

[@sagsdothedu]

Good skills to enter a sprint tri. Gives you a different dynamic as a training race. A stone and a half reduced weight is MASSIVE! Enjoy ✊

[@SwimBikeRunStu]

Yeh it's good to go and have some fun with no pressure. Just have a nice hard session. It's much easier to do now I'm a stone and a half lighter 🤣🤣

[@Journeyoflee]

Didn’t even know they did sprint tri events sounds decent that 🤘- could see the sweat just pouring off you 😅😅 well done for doing the 90 mins , mins mins over matter 👍🏻best of look in the race Stu🥇

[@SwimBikeRunStu]

Yep sprint triathlons hurt. All out effort. Proper hard graft but its over quickly 🤣🤣

[@PartTimeTriathlete]

Heard it’s a well put on event, Cov Sprint will be the first event of the season for me, my first ever sprint, not used to going fast 😬

[@SwimBikeRunStu]

I've got some bad news. Cov sprint has been cancelled 🙈

[@PartTimeTriathlete]

@@SwimBikeRunStu wait when did that happen 😅

[@col_tris_hard]

Great job mate!!! Looking forward to see how you travel!!!

[@SwimBikeRunStu]

Thanks. Looking forward to it. No pressure. Just have a bit of fun and enjoy it 👌

[@Drew_Quinlin]

Dude you're going to crush this sprint! Considering your recent video at the Middlesbrough half I think you've definitely got sub 25 5k in the bag!

[@SwimBikeRunStu]

Thankyou. I've not done any specific sprint training but it's good to go and have a no pressure race. Not done much running of the bike so fingers crossed I've got a sub 25 in me 🤞

[@benevamalc]

Enjoy Southam! I did it last year. Think ‘warm cross country’ for the 5K and check the route beforehand - lots of runners were a little confused on the first lap! 😂

[@SwimBikeRunStu]

My first time doing Southam so it should be interesting. How do you go wrong running around a field ?

[@benevamalc]

@@SwimBikeRunStu Two fields and a bit of a route in the middle of one…

[@SwimBikeRunStu]

@@benevamalc thanks for the heads up. Better make sure I know where I'm going then 🙈🤣

[@AndyCliffMTB]

You certainly have lost a bit of weight Stu✅

[@SwimBikeRunStu]

Just a bit yes. Still more to loose. Certainly much easier to exercise now I'm a bit lighter 🙈

[@Run_Like_a_T-Rex]

Do you do much Brick training as part of your build-up? I did the Cov Sprint Tri in 2016 and getting off the bike and starting to "run" and I use that word in the loosest possible terms was the grimmest experience ever as I hadn't done any and hadn't experienced that before.

[@SwimBikeRunStu]

Yep jelly legs is fun 🤣🤣 Yeh il do some race specific stuff. I did a brick session on Saturday. An hour on the turbo followed by a 20 minute run. My legs actually feel better after being on the bike but I find I'm pretty strong on the bike 👌

[@AndyCliffMTB]

My sprint was 800m swim, 24K bike, 5K run🤔

[@SwimBikeRunStu]

Outdoor sprints tend to be 750m and bike course are subject to what they have available. I've done longer and shorter ones. Looking forward to it 👌
