Ironman 70.3 Weymouth // Race Day

[@Yasharal-Instrumentals]

I did Weymouth 70.3 in 2018. It was a terrible weather with lots of rain in race morning, we had to wait for the officials to declare the swim would be cut in half because of the conditions. It was grim. Well done on your race!

[@Harry-Palmer]

Ahhh yeah not fun! Well done for completing it though! I think getting through conditions like that is pretty mental

[@AfzalHussein]

Great vid. New sub here. Doing my first 70.3 in Weymouth in September 2022!

[@emilyjohnston5784]

Definitely interested in merch!! Travel mugs, jumpers, everything! Another great video guys 😁

[@Harry-Palmer]

Thanks so much Emily that’s great to hear 🙂

[@Tommotime]

Cheers for this Harry, been following you since starting my IM journey, did barca for my first full last year, now Weymouth half in 8 weeks.

[@BenjaminBriu]

Love the videos!! And the process!! What I would love to see in the videos more is more details of the race, description of the swim, how u felt what place you came out, the bike what was your nutrition plan! Did it work or not, the run, how did it go, what place and how u plan strategies and post race feelings thanks , love the tricks!

[@Harry-Palmer]

Thanks mate! That’s a great suggestion and one I’ll definitely be applying to future videos. Maybe just a simple video about what I do on race day with regards to nutrition etc

[@jasonlord6068]

Power meter or not, you'll kill it mate in Lanzarote mate. I've enjoyed your videos a lot over the past year as I'm only starting out in my own triathlon journey. I have found most all of your videos insightful and a big help. I have recommended them to a lot of triathlon mates here in Germany. All the best for your last race of the season and take a rest before you smash winter training.

[@Harry-Palmer]

Thanks so much Jason I really appreciate it! Really glad you have found the videos useful. Hope you’ve enjoyed your season 🙂

[@ashleyhutchinson-asbusines109]

Ace vid Harry, and cracking tip on the seatpost number. Can’t believe you got that from Freddie!

[@lisastubbs4763]

Hi Harry, brilliant tip for the bike race number! Just rewatched the video as I’m prepping my kit for Ironman Turkey 70.3!!!

[@Harry-Palmer]

Glad you enjoyed the tip Lisa! Massive good luck for Turkey!!🙂

[@jeremycanham1988]

Amazing video and barely notice the difference in the editing! Keep up the great work and good luck in Lanzarote

[@Harry-Palmer]

Thanks Jeremy, really appreciate that 🙂

[@andrewrobbins4469]

Just not the same without chris shouting "come on harry" 😂

[@JonNgwisha]

thats what i was thinking!

[@CongoToey]

LOL yes that is a sort of trade mark now lol

[@Carol-cy6kl]

Well done Harry and Chris! I love getting the 'inside track' on what you get up to getting ready for racing and on the day etc and the aftermath! I'd love a Harry & Chris mug! xxx

[@Harry-Palmer]

Thanks so much for your comment Carol! We will let you know when we are planning a merchandise launch 🙂

[@texastransam]

This is the first KZbin video I've ever seen without a thumbs down! Amazing!!! 👍

[@Harry-Palmer]

Thanks Alan!!👍

[@nicolac.2964]

Great video Harry! Great example and genuine guide for me. Maybe you will give me some hints in the near future! Greetings from Italy!

[@Harry-Palmer]

Thanks Nicola! If you ever have any questions or want to get in contact just send us a message on insta 🙂

[@michaela1125]

Great video! Always happy to see a new vid coming out, then I have something fun to watch while I am on the treadmill sweating my butt off 😁 thanks for the update and keep up the good work, first season is just the beginning, the results will come 🤟🏻🎉

[@Harry-Palmer]

Thanks so much! Glad we could get you through the treadmill session 🙂

[@GogglesTyresandTrainers]

Great video Harry , worth it it for that seat tube tip! Weymouth looked horrible! Best of luck for Lanza, smash the last one and get stuck into Winter :)

[@Harry-Palmer]

Thanks mate glad you liked the tip! Hoping for better weather out in Lanza 🙂🙂

[@taylor1991]

Great quality vid well done!!

[@Harry-Palmer]

Thanks Simon 🙂

[@howzat2046]

Good vid. This was my first 70.3. Really enjoyed it thanks for footage

[@Harry-Palmer]

Awesome mate hope you had a good race! Glad you enjoyed the vid

[@BenjisBoxingChannel]

Hey Harry, I said Hi to you and wished you luck when you were on your way in to register. That was my first time doing a Tri. I had a bit of a nightmare but still got over the finish line. Thanks for the inspiration, and keep up the good work. Peace.

[@Harry-Palmer]

Hey mate! Thanks so much for stopping and saying hi! Glad you’re finished the race- tough conditions for sure and for that to be your first one is very very impressive! See you at another one soon mate 🙂

[@shamilkak]

Would love to see more videos on the bike and run. A slight details on your nutrition plans and your strategy on the nutrition

[@Harry-Palmer]

Thanks for the input. I’m in the process of getting a few more attachments for the GoPro so I can take it with me running and cycling. I’ve also prepared a video about race day nutrition and set-up for you 🙂🙂

[@TriathlonDan]

Great video and performance Harry! Could you make the weather a bit better in the next video please ;) good luck for Lanza! I'd be interested in hearing stats, splits, power, pace etc. Hope Chris breaks down the jammy so and so....

[@Harry-Palmer]

Thanks Dan! Sat outside in Lanza and it’s gorgeous 🙂 yes I’ll definitely do a race de brief. Unfortunately my power meter has broken so it’s all by feel haha

[@JonNgwisha]

looks really good!

[@KingLifeTale]

Congratulations on the race result, cheers for the vid

[@Harry-Palmer]

Glad you enjoyed the video 🙂

[@inkstickart]

I love your bike!! I mean if I could have everything orange I'd be happy, I'll probably never grow out of that color

[@Harry-Palmer]

Do love the colour. Would love to get a custom paint job on it 🙂

[@martyf.8088]

Enjoy watching while i train for shorter coarses. Thanks and GOOD LUCK!

[@Harry-Palmer]

Glad you like the video Martin!

[@fromady2ironman364]

Thinking of doing this race, really useful vid. Cheers

[@patrickethier4891]

Cap and T-shirt for me please...... Chears! From Canada Keep up the good work guy's!

[@Harry-Palmer]

Haha thanks Patrick 👍🏻

[@SpacLingwood]

Hitting like before the video starts.. love your stuff man 🙌 Or men... dunno if chris is around or not

[@Harry-Palmer]

Haha thanks so much Andrew! Really appreciate that

[@GamerholicAKA]

Congrats from the gel feed station!

[@Harry-Palmer]

Thanks pal!

[@benchaffey5286]

Any chance you could do a video on the transition phases and explaining what you put on, take with you, carry, change into etc at the different stages? :)

[@Harry-Palmer]

Great suggestion Ben! I will definitely plan this video 👍

[@georgiaporter5700]

i’m in the striped coat while your running from the sea🤣

[@Harry-Palmer]

Haha no way? 😂

[@jontystegmann4892]

hey Harry cool videos but I am going to be honest the music montages went on for too long and got a bit boring. Would love to know more about the race maybe instead of music swap it for a voice over of how your race went. I know that its a hard balance to keep the videos exciting and informative without becoming repetitive and boring but practice makes perfect. Keep it up though love following you guys and good luck in Lanzarote!

[@Harry-Palmer]

Thanks so much for being honest Jonty. I’ve got to be honest too and say I felt the same. Like you say it’s practice makes perfect so I’ve just got to keep developing. The next few vids I’ve done in Lanza are short and snappy so hopefully a bit more exciting and engaging🙂 I’ve not done a voice over before so that’s definitely something to think about rather than these long periods of no talking. Thank you 🙏

[@travelingtriathlete446]

How did you manage :40/100m on the swim? That's absolutely insane. There must have been something wrong with the timing or your course was cut short

[@Harry-Palmer]

Ahha good observation! The course was cut short annoyingly. The conditions were absolutely fine for a full swim as well. Lots of people saying it was down to poor organisation rather than swim conditions

[@gasperzizek7670]

Hello, I think about doing an ironman in 2021, in August or September. I have been training swimming for 10 years, and I’ve been competing in aquathlon for one year, and than went back to pro swimming. Do you think that is better do do Ironman 70.3 before full ironman. For exeperience and everything else...?

[@Harry-Palmer]

Hi! Sounds like you have some really good experience. I would say 70.3 before full is a good idea- maybe even consider some shorter distances before that to build up

[@gasperzizek7670]

Harry Palmer thank you for your advice. I like your videos very much. If I will be in some dilemma I will text you.

[@Harry-Palmer]

Gašper Žižek really glad you liked the videos mate 👌🏻 no problem

[@gregoirefourniermontgieux2033]

0:30 Here, look, we can see a penguin walk in his natural habitat! Haha no offense I promise, just the time lapse which makes funny looking

[@chrischivers1471]

Sorry for the “oh I’ve seen you on KZbin” random chat in the athlete area after the race Harry.. Yes I was that steward

[@Harry-Palmer]

Haha not at all! Thanks for stopping me Chris! Appreciate the support
