[@konstantinschraps2536]

Thanks for posting this, so sad to think to have won and write with you guys and than find out this 😓 I’ve just been on a ride and thought the whole time I won 🙈 it was a normal conversation, wouldn’t have expected this till asked between 130 and 200 dollars shipping 😅😂

[@erinhoril7217]

Hahah same as @Konstantin. Lost it thinking I won there for a sec

[@mosch65]

Just being shortlisted seemed pretty cool :-) thanks for the heads-up ...after writing the comment, it had me think that the bike I'm using is almost as old as the sport of triathlon itself - that's actually also quite cool, if I may say so.

[@andremota9577]

thank you for the warning, but i was already scamed

[@mzu210]

thank you for the warning :) will stay tune for the next video to congratulate the lucky winner.

[@reitheartist]

my favourite piece of aero kit is the ceramic speed oversized pulley wheel aero! lol! P.S Keep crushing it Lucy! In my mind you are the GOAT of triathlon. You’re an inspiration to all of us. Thank you for this video especially. I had a bike accident recently (nothing major) and I can’t train for a while so I’ll be binge watching team Charles Barclay content to pass the time and keep the tri-fire burning in me.

[@sthi3396]

What a great intro. The first 2 minutes are pure gold. Love that!

[@trudymead4586]

Fantastic Come back Lucy. I am so happy for you. Years ago I had a fractured femur After 3 pens put in they said I should never run. After a year I decided they were wrong so I kept running. I'm 64 years old running a 1/2 marathons and cycling It keeps me young. Thank you for taking us on your adventure. I must say it's hard to pick a piece of your kit that I don't absolutely love. But that helmet is sweet. Keep doing what you're doing. You are such an inspiration. And love the puppy too.

[@notmyrealname6272]

Aww Lucy. Sitting here on crutches after serious knee surgery last Friday I cried through most of that. What a brilliant video first if all. Here is your Oscar 🏆haha. But mainly just so inspired by you and proud of your determination and grit. I think I’ll be watching this on repeat on dark days. Long distance Tri dreams may be out the window but I’m going to try tk keep them alive or find a new angle somehow. So so so so well done. From screwing a squirrel house on the fence with the drill the wrong way round and painting by numbers and sticking a biro in your eye to this triumph. CONGRATULATIONS. You are my absolute inspiration. Enjoy every moment of your success. Xxx

[@AG-io5wr]

Having been thru multiple injuries and a combined time of years not able to move doing the things I love I wish you a speedy recovery and the promise that when you so get back to doing it he things you live it will feel like the first time all over again with the same amount of theoll and excitement.

[@notmyrealname6272]

@@AG-io5wr thanks so much that’s really kind and encouraging. I’m not used to not being able to move my body and that’s harder than I thought it would be. I really appreciate your reply and encouraging words. Sorry you’ve been through so much! I cannot wait to be able to do some things again even if I’m not allowed to do the same as before. :)

[@TheFucheer]

The best piece of aero kit in my opinion are a nice deep set of aero wheels. They not only change the feel and speed but the looks 😍

[@fabianbv82]

That's the best prize you could have after the tough work done during these difficult time. Congratulations, Lucy!!!

[@grlrider24]

Your finish was priceless! It’s crazy how proud you can be of someone you have never met. Thank you for allowing us into your come back journey. My favorite aero piece are the wheels! You are a masterpiece on the bike.

[@fernandodiazruedas9830]

Congratulations Lucy, is always inspiring waching your videos!!!

[@joshnussbaum474]

My favorite piece of aero kit is without a doubt the aero bars. The difference in feeling, speed, comfort, and control you feel while down in them and going fast. Love it! True inspiration Lucy! Keep up the hard work, and wish you a continuous strong recovery.

[@KrunchyKandy]

The best piece of aero kit will always be the aero helmets. The white ones specifically. All my friends tell me that they look stupid, but they don't realize that those helmets look exactly like the ones the rebels wear in the first Star Wars movie.

[@zwtvchannel]

You fell for that marketing bullshit didn’t ya. You are their favourite consumer because of your naivety. Aero helmet means as much as pissing into the wind. Can have all the “aero helmet” “ skin suit” socks the whole show but if your position on the bike is shit then you ain’t travelling anywhere very fast and that equipment means piss all.. I did a 46km ITT yesterday in 64mins. Nothing but a normal helmet, socks and a Tri suit and no specific TT training in 2 years on a borrowed bike that costed a friend of mine $1000 bucks.. Only thing changed was the seat height and positioning and turns out the position was half decent. Flat as a pancake course that was pretty windy. Expensive kit and bikes means less than less if one you can’t ride because you’re fitness is shit and two your position on your current set up is crap.. Companies use athletes like Lucy Charles to advocate for certain products because she makes them look fast and it’s what draws people in to buy yet. Be the person who spends 10k on everything else but the “pretty crap” because ultimately that’s what is going to make you faster.

[@darkoale3299]

Lol

[@camchancey]

Best piece of aero kit is either the helmet or skin suit. The bike is already incredibly aero but the body is not so anything to make the body faster is huge

[@emmaduizend]

I watched your finish with tears in my eyes: so great to see you are back and in such a fantastisch way! My favourite piece of aero kit are my aero socks. I am not sure if their materials/shape actually make much of a difference, but I feel awesome in them and I know that that feeling helps me go faster :)

[@balance2111]

THE BEST NEVER REST LUCY CONGRATULATIONS

[@meganparr6253]

Congratulations Lucy!! Such a brilliant come back and so inspirational for everyone falling. Toughness through adversity alright!!! My favourite aero kit has to be aero bars!

Great comeback Lucy ❤️watched you life in Slovakia my homeland. Just few meters from you I witnessed your pure joy and happiness. Congratulations 👏 favourite piece aero bars👍

[@soccerull]

This is so inspiring! I’m so happy for you!

[@carbs.vs.fossils]

Will not surprise anyone. Aero helmet is my choice. The most significant improvement with almost no effort. Best price to improvement ratio. Glad to see you back stronger than before 🙌🏻

[@sahandizadi3419]

You are so inspiring! I broke and tear my shoulder in January, and now I'm preparing for my first 70.3 Ironman race in Santacruz! Watching your videos has been part of my motivational booster! My favorite part of aero tech is the disc wheel.

[@mariafernandapindercarabal2482]

Lucy you are the best..!! Amazing comeback and for sure you will be stronger!! My aero wheels are my favorite

[@wendylouisemcgee9547]

What an awesome return from injury, congratulations on your win. My favourite aero kit are the disc wheels and the sweet sound they make, giving me a much needed boost. A big thank you to all your amazing sponsors who gave you first class rehabilitation to help you becoming a great champion.

[@shamirbar8198]

Great to see coming back in action. Triathlon world is not the same without you. I admire your spirit! My favorite aero kit is the wheels, it makes you feel fast and balanced.

[@sarahs4747]

The best piece of the aero kit for me are the Aerobars. They are conducive for the technical and hilly courses of triathlons, saving energy and time 😄.

[@simonejulian3266]

Thankyou Lucy and your lovely crew, for creating these inspirational videos. I’ve just re-injured an old nasty high hamstring injury training, now I have a set back. … That speech in the beginning.. wow! Thankyou and best to you both in this 2023 race season!!👏🏻🙌👍🏻

[@markmorales7465]

Congradulation Lucy!!! All true Champions are tested by adversity. In the rear view mirror of life prospective is a a foundation of true blessing of personal growth. Continued and future success!!!!!

[@marcmeyer6532]

my favourite piece of aero kit is a the aerobar! congrats for your comeback Lucy! you are so inspiring

[@tjcobey]

Congrats on the win but most importantly the lesson for us all on injury rehab. For us AG's there is no reason to rush the process and you showed that with your disciplined approach. My favorite aero accessory is my TriRig Scoops. They have helped me stay in the aero position while only coming out for climbing and corners. All the best for you and Reece in your next race season. I'll be watching and cheering you both.

[@amyknibb7740]

I think all your fans have been following along, hoping and praying for your speedy recovery! Races haven’t been the same with out you! Watching you race in Samorin, and the smile that was your face from start to finish! You were born for this sport! Congrats on your come back! As for my favorite piece of aero equipment, it is the bike! Without the proper fit and long rides in aero are not possible. I am still looking for my pink aero helmet. Welcome back hope to see you at a start line soon. Battle braids in full force! 🧜🏼‍♀️

[@stefanthiele8388]

My fave aeropart is My Cockpit. Because it Looks so cool and fast. It give me the feeling that i am super fast. Bin Respekt to your Comeback...👌🤞🙂

[@markhernandez3543]

My boys watched the video with me and were amazed by the first 2 minutes. Thank you for sharing that. Everyone knows that the best part of aero kit is the helmet because it looks badass in the race and like a unicorn when on backwards, and that is very special.

[@cayetan067]

Wooww, what a video!!!!! What an athlete you are Lucy, big congrats, you're the best 🥳!!! Wish more and more winnings for you. And my fouvorite aero part is the helmet, it gives you security, makes you aerodinamic and the best thing is that it makes you look like a superhero 🦸.

[@fried_tri]

Congrats on the perfect comeback from the last 11 month of not racing and beeing injured! Truely inspirational. I think my favorite aero piece is the suite as the shoulders and legs create the most drag. Keep up the nice videos :)

[@suzanneh1605]

Hey well done making the journey back! Accepting alllll the steps. It's humbling, right? But with the humbling comes the deeper love, the passion, adventure, and the companionship- so much richer! Favorite bit of aero kit for me- the helmets! Especially the continual innovation in design. Get after it Lucy!

[@katl6632]

Favourite pieces of aero equipment would have to be the wheel!! I just don't have one yet ha 😅 great to see your super strong comeback, and Reece doing well at Roth - love seeing your hard work pay off!

[@AleMS-rq4uc]

My favorite piece of aero kit? Determination on your eyes while pedaling. That made the difference all year long. Brava Lucy e tutto il tuo team, numero 1 di nuovo!

[@sghairtvcom]

Favourite aero kit- Epilady/razor, nothing makes you feel such difference to you feeling faster in the water,on the bike and on the run. Congratulations LCB on such a formidable performance on you comeback.

[@erichayden5635]

Best aero part in my set up: my mind. By focusing on the small things with my mind, my body does a better job staying in the position. This are things I can control when it comes to speed. When I square up the small things. The big things take care of themselves. Welcome back to racing ya animal. Crush it Lucy 🤟

[@patricia_w]

So happy to see you back ! Yay !

[@DavidPinsonneaultTri]

Favorite piece of aero kit has to be the wheelset. Noticed a huge boost when I first got into triathlon a couple years ago when I swapped out to a new wheelset. Super inspiring video. I had a blood clot 5 years back & didn't know if I would be able to race/train. Now my next race is the World Champs in St. George. Always inspiring to see what people go through to get healthy after a setback. We're really all in it together.

[@simonsada9337]

My favorite piece of aero kit are my Zipp 404 NSWs! Congrats on the BIG win both in Samorin and in overcoming this injury!!

[@rays3981]

Putting it all together. There isn't just one item that makes you more aero. Great Job, Lucy!

[@wojciechbusz]

Favourite aero element - my disc wheel. When I put it on my bike, I know it’s game time. The thunder sound it makes when you ride with it - pure poetry. Huge congrats on the win and the comeback! (‘Don’t call it a comeback, I’ve been here for years’ as LL Cool J would say!)

[@ericfung]

Amazing comeback. Congrats. Aero wheels would be my pick.

[@pebblemariegrier8666]

Your videos are so inspirational You are my favorite athlete You and Reese are so athletic Love lola You are one tough lady Congratulations on your come back!! I live in the United States and I love your Channel Even ordered one of your shirts Keep those videos coming They are pushing me to get fit!!!

[@janine9633]

Welcome back and thank you for sharing your experience. Best aero piece, my bike beauty :)

[@ellelowe2353]

My favorite part of my aero kit are my aero bars except they are on a road bike because, we’ll, I don’t have TT bike, so yeah…that’s happening! Love this come LCB and I love my battle braids shirt ;)

[@JoseRodriguez-yn9so]

The best piece of aero is the skinsuit. Fancy textiles and wavy fabrics have taking the possibilities to new levels!

[@michellewilson6514]

Awesome Lucy, always an inspiration. Go GB....... Congratulations. You worked so, so hard and deserve everything you achieve.

[@konstantinschraps2536]

The best piece of aero kit has to be simply has to be my two piece suit. As the first piece of equipment, you get on a tight budget, it sticks a long time and for sure gives a feeling of professionalism. Happy to see such a smooth come back out of a serious injury, very inspirational!

[@Hotgirlsinbio18]

Nothing beats an amazingly fitting aero suit! Makes me feel like a rocket. Amazing work Lucy, so inspiring to watch your growth as an athlete.

[@sarosianuzair9914]

The aerokit I adore is the Aero helmet- the ones with the magnets. It's quicker for racing short course triathlons and allows me to really ride faster. Though it does build up heat, I personally love it. They are huge aero savings and cuts back time. I would never switch to a regular road helmet unless it is extremely hot. 😁

[@erictravis5995]

Congratulations Lucy, watching your recovery has been inspiring. My favourite piece of aero kit are my FLO wheels, they always make me feel faster on race day when I see them on my bike. I’m an older athlete who has overcome a full Achilles rupture, dislocated and surgically repaired shoulder, and a reconstructed right ankle. I too consider myself fortunate to again be racing and healthy and look forward to seeing you in St George! Hopefully we won’t have a surprise hurricane this time around!

[@fkdhwj]

Great story! Favourite piece of aero for me are the bike frames, with all the crazy innovations.

[@morethanlikely]

Best aero - a sweet looking helmet of course! Looks good, feel fast, be fast! Congrats Lucy on the big time return! Cheers!!

[@molly440]

Hi Lucy, I am 17 years old and, I suffered the same injury as you, in the same week! Twins :) It has been really inspiring and motivating to watch your channel while I've also been recovering. I love how you shared with us your journey at red bull and how you started to incorporate biking and swimming. I am a runner so I don't usually bike and swim however, cross training has been my best friend. I just use my brothers mountain bike but road bikes are awesome, I use one at my gym. My favourite product is the kickr axis so I can ride from home at any time of the day. I also purchased the turbo connect display from specialised so I could track my rides additional to my watch. Congratulations on your race! Can't wait to see you smash it throughout the second half of this year. This injury has definitely been a learning curve but I will definitely be cross training even when I'm back to peak running.

[@Harro1980]

Congrats Lucy. Super inspirational to watch you come back from injury and be back where you belong

[@erinwhitman4826]

Don't really have a favorite piece of aero kit because I don't have much. I have some cheap clip on aero bars on my road bike that have served me well so far! So nice to see you back in your racing happy place Lucy! Congrats!

[@CAPP2012]

the queen is back!!!!!!!!!!!! Great come back lucy. My favorite gear I think is a good set of deep wheels. they are fast as well.

[@chantschu]

My favorite aero kit are the wheels, because I saw a big difference instead of an normal wheel! Congratulations Lucy! You deserve it! ❤️❤️❤️🥳

[@michaeljohncase]

Congratulations on the comeback Lucy! Loved the huge cheer the crowd gave you when your name was announced at the start line, and the smile and wave you gave showed just how pleased you were to be back racing! Favourite bit of aero kit is the new style aerobars. After the race I stood in transition for about 5 minutes looking at your bike!! The new moulded aerobars look amazing (and comfortable) and I definitely laughed (and took a photo to share with mates) when I saw the wahoo was on auto pause at 1:58:26 - a fair bit quicker than my time! Given how tough that headwind was back into town, the old saying of #aeroiseverything was completely true in Slovakia! 🇸🇰

[@CADECMICHAEL]

Chapeau on the return! Best piece of aero is surely the new Neck gaiters under tt helmets making their rounds through grand tours and elite tris. Dramatic and warm, if nothing else.

[@fabianM999]

Congratiolations Team Charles-Barclay it is a masterpiece of a comeback journey you had shared with us. My favourite aero pieces are the wheels that makes you feel like a real steel athlete. 😉

[@kevinvera4285]

Congratulations Lucy! We are glad to see you smashing the tri world again! My favourite aero piece would be my dt swiss wheels! I just love the look and the performance 😊

[@delinebaugh]

Congrats Lucy! Favorite piece of aero equipment is the aero bars. When you see them on a bicycle you know that athlete is a triathlete.

[@nadineseferian9218]

My favorite aero piece are my deep carbon wheels. They make my bike look bada$$ and help me fly on the flats 🙂 HUGE congrats on your comeback, Lucy! So amazing!!!

[@thomask2092]

My Favourite Aero Kit is the Aero Helmet. I recently Got one and looking Forward to Look Like a Robot on Race course ✌️

[@weltgeschichtliche]

Your videos are inspiring as always! I broke my arm on a training ride a couple months back, and I struggled to get back to form-injuries take such a mental toll, too. Watching you come back strong is keeping me focused on my first 70.3 next month! My favorite piece of aero kit is surprisingly simple: a top tube stem bag. I neglected my nutrition early on and paid for it at the end of rides. Now with the stem bag, I have a constant (aero) reminder to keep fueling. Thanks again for all your example, your advice, and excited to see you cross the line at Kona!

[@nadiaduarte1264]

Congratulations Lucy . You are an awesome athlete and a true inspiration ! I think the aero wheels are the best equipment ! It’s like the song “the wheels on the bike go round and round , round and round all through the triathlon “ Congratulations I am a big fan !!

[@chrissalerno5930]

great to see you back. my favorite aero part is the aero toolbox from lasse inert.

[@claudioavila719]

Awesome comeback!! I think my favorite piece of aero tech are the aerobars. Engineers can geto soo creative with the shape, material, and production method. They're truly what make each bike unique because every athletes arms and position are different.

[@George-dk7wo]

The best piece of aero kit is definitely the disc wheel on the bike, I feel like that makes such a bit difference. Also great comeback Lucy, I always you'll be back racing and stronger than ever before.

[@krystynarytel8813]

My favorite peice of the aero kit is definitley the skin suit becuase it's heavily customizable, so it can show some of your personality while making you extra speedy. It is so great to see all of your hard work paying off! Congratulations on an amazing win! #battlebraids

[@Amanda_K_001]

Aero ceramic speed of course! Welcome back champ! 100%

[@c.w.4010]

My favourite aerokit are my wheels. Great news and great video.

[@christopherolvera8347]

definitely my favorite part of the aero kit is the frame, the structure and the color are spectacular

[@LucianoDevoto]

[@micheleprendini3135]

My favorite aero tech kit is a disc wheel, simply the super cool noise it creates!

[@Justbeats11]

[@tonyeaster6861]

Huge Congratulations on this win Lucy!!! My favourite piece of aero kit is the wheels - they look stunning.

[@jonasschweiger8938]

Best piece of Aero Kit is the aero socks. A symbol of the aero addiction in amateur sports, love it!

[@harrisonthornton511]

Was awesome to see you back racing! My favourite aero piece has to the be the Red Bull Aero Helmet! hands down - looks unreal as well as getting the best performance out of yourself. Everyone knows when you look good, you race good.

[@rhodrickharalson6898]

Sista - You are a Conqueror! Congratulations on an awesome journey - continuing success!!!

[@lightdevil101]

I didn’t expect to tear up seeing you cross the finish line, but glad to see you’re back at it Lucy! As for aero equipment, I love my aero helmet. It seems to be the most impactful piece of aero equipment for the price.

[@Boardsportsuperfreak]

So happy for you Lucy, what a comeback, you are an inspiration. My fave piece of aero kit would be a new aero oversized pulley from Ceramic Speed

[@louisdunne9502]

Favourite bit of aero kit for me is the over use of electrical tape over every single hole and bolt!! Awesome work Lucy!

[@timwiste9536]

So thrilled to see Team CB back - and WINNING! Favorite piece of aero kit is my Zipp 808 wheels.

[@mosanna20]

My favourite piece of aero kit is the disc wheel. I'm just on a road bike at the moment, but I love the sound the disc wheels make as they come flying past in a race. Makes the sport so exciting and fun, and the bikes are so pretty!! P.s. So happy to have you back training and racing, and huge congrats on your win. We've missed you! xx

[@Jimmer572TD]

I hope everyone watching this understands how special of an athlete and person Lucy is. Never give in attitude and absolutely my pick to win many world titles in the future!

[@bakerdj80]

Great work! My own body size and shape is my favorite aero kit. The hard work to loose weight and slim down has made more aero gains then anything I have that bolts on.

[@andylewis4726]

Great to have you back racing Lucy, great support and coaching Reece! Best aero kit is the helmet, especially with a slab head like mine, need all the help I can get to get through the wind!

[@FrankSorbaraTriathlon]

Favourite piece of aero kit definitely my Revolver Aysmm FWS disc wheel. Not only crazy fast but the sound that thing makes smashing down the road is truly intoxicating . Great racing Lucy what a brilliant comeback !

[@JohnCourtenayLewis]

Mind-blowing result, Lucy! Chapeau! My favourite piece of aero kit at the moment is my FastForward FR6R 60mm carbon wheelset. Ridiculously good!

[@champiw]

Definitely the aero wheels are my favorite!! They way they are designed is next level

[@Kamicassie]

Fantastic result and well deserved with all the adversity and the patience that was required. Favorite aero kit must be disk wheels, the aero benefit combined with how great they look and sound

[@stefanlepinoy6474]

Awesome to be able to follow such a great athlete and seeing the discipline and dedication to come back as strong or even stronger than before. Favorite aero equipment are the aero bars, you can get so much benefits out of it even when it hurts your sholders and back so much it is wort its wile during long distance races to use them efficiently

[@trinella4962]

The best piece of aero kit: the wheel set. For me it‘s 808s as I admittedly strugle with side winds. Maybe it‘s going to be a disc wheel at some point - who knows. Congrats on that comeback, Lucy! Thank you for sharing your journey 🧡

[@0Markstar0]

Loved watching this and your comeback. Can't wait to see the next season. Best piece of Aero Kit has to be the aero helmet - They look super futuristic and it's just impossible to look anything other than uber cool when wearing one - and because the kit is on you and not your bike, to me it's just like putting on a superhero mask and you get your special superhero power flowing through you.

[@fastantio]

Oh wow, I'll try my luck. For me, the Red Bull aero helmet looks awesome! That's my favorite aero piece

[@sarahhokanson5391]

Also!!! Holly!! You’ve outdone yourself again! This video is amazing. So grateful to you for documenting this journey so you all can share it with us!!
