Miami Vlog (Racing + New Bike Unveil)

Another great video courtesy of Acrofilm and FlauPaz.
In this vlog we documented a typical race week during the first race of the t100 series.
All the behind the scenes stuff that goes on in the lead up, Sam’s new custom Canyon Speedmax, and of course his race, which didn’t go as planned.
Thanks for your support guys!

Salut mes chers “Frenchies” - n'oubliez pas que vous pourriez avoir besoin peut etre d'activer les sous-titres. Donc pour ton portable - Sur votre application KZbin : 1. Allez dans les paramètres (en haut à droite). 2. Activez les sous-titres. 3. Sélectionnez la langue. 4. Profitez de tout le travail acharné de Flo ;)

That "Magnus" moment 🤣 Great content Sam!

[@lm22069]

Sam Laidlow, absolute legend in entertainment factor! This is the type of video we are looking for from your channel. Cheers mate 😉

[@normanrahmel]

Really cool video, very honest insider. I wish you all the best for the rest of the season and keep up the good work with KZbin. It's also cool for age groupers to see that even the pros make mistakes in race preparation and that not everything always goes perfectly, which you often see on social media. Thanks for the honest insights. Everyone can learn a lot from this and do better in the future.

[@Jameslindley123]

Your videos are actually entertaining - funny and informative, a perfect mix. Not sitting behind a camera for half an hour just talking. Let’s go champ.

Bien joué Sam ! Tu auras le temps de montrer ton meilleur niveau dans la saison, c’est déjà énorme d’avoir réussi à terminer dans ton état ;)

[@ChrisDrysdale16]

Great video with an honest reaction, which is oftentimes harder to portray for youtube. That turquoise top at the end however, where'd you get it...

[@raoulfalicon7684]

Sam,ne lâche rien ,les vidéos c'est top et pour le vélo, je suis jaloux,mais tu l'as bien mérité 👍

[@christopherenault6864]

Hi Sam. Première course, rien d'anormal, refaire ses gammes, comme tu le dis, l'objectif, c'est Kona. Superbe vélo, va falloir rencontrer les gens de chez LVMH pour sponsoring! Bonne continuation dans la préparation, ainsi qu'à Arthur.

Comme tu dis c est juste une course de rentree et c est deja pas si mal ! La saison va etre longue et tu vas monter en puissance bon training et beau velo qd meme

[@DavidC-rt3or]

Would wonder if your pacing for this race was higher than what it would be for a full IM.. if either the combination of your hard workout a couple of days before depleting some stored glucose and the faster pacing caused your body to detect low glucose levels and the brain started to force you to slow or if it might be more of just needing to adjust the carb intake due to higher ratio of carb/fat usage? who knows??? course the heat/humidity in and/off itself can do me in (and nowhere close to any kind of competitive paces)

[@oweningarfield5943]

Booty-ful bike!

Question bête, est ce que le noir peut être un désavantage par grosse chaleur sur le vélo ?

Je pense pas, ou ça doit être de l’ordre du plutôt négligeable.

Great video Sam. Whats the story behind your interview no show with Alistair though, be good to get the facts

[@LaidlowSam]

Just a simple misunderstanding, Alistair said he was canceling it to me so I went for a run, turns out he turned it the end

Triathletes be like; It’s really hot, I feel really cooked, so I’m going to go out run as hard as I can 48hrs prior. …. Surely rest, recovery and some light activation.

Love hearing a contracted athlete's not targetting the T100 :/

[@LaidlowSam]

This specific PTO distance requires a specific training which differs from the one Ironman distance requires. As my goal has always been to win Kona IMWC - Yes, I want to pursue my dream in 2024 and focuse on this PTO distance next year. I also still believe I have my place amongst the 20 best athletes at this distance so why not show up and race ?

[@TheWeirdoifyer]

@LaidlowSam I 100% agree if Kona is main your goal and absolutely worth showing up to T100 still... but maybe worth not being 100% transparent and saying Kona is your only goal?

[@presleysenengwe4105]

Hi Mr. Laidlow. I know this might sound too personal, you have a girlfriend and my question is are you retaining your seed (abstain from intercourse) during your preparation for the race to get the most for your performances? Bonjour M. Laidlow. Je sais que cela peut paraître trop personnel, vous avez une petite amie et ma question est : conservez-vous votre graine pendant votre préparation à la course pour tirer le meilleur parti de vos performances ?

French people always and everywhere complain about the language spoken there if it is not French. French people also complain about vacations in Spain when not every single spanish resident in a spanish-speaking country speaks french - so why not stick to English? You'll make the rest of the world happy and not just one country....
