My First Sub-10 Ironman

[@lachlanearnshaw]

Hey Guys just wanted to say a huge thanks for all the support. Especially to all the people up at Port Mac. Sub 9 is still the long term goal and I think if I stick with this approach for a few more years and keep enjoying the process it’s definitely possible! Uploads have been far less frequent lately but I’m currently working on a bunch of video ideas and I’m really motivated to make some good content over the next couple months. I’m also doing Ironman WA at the end of the year and hoping I can go fast. Not sure if I’ll be able to go sub 9 by then but either way I’m going to give it my best and most importantly enjoy it! Thanks to the help of sponsors like BetterHelp I’m going to be able to invest way more into the process and travel to faster courses. Thanks for their support and exclusive discount; BetterHelp.com/lachlan

Thank you for letting us be a small part of your journey, can’t wait for the next one!

[@lachlanearnshaw]

No small part! I still remember the first time using the wheels at Sunshine Coast, it’s insane how much smoother and faster you can go with a good set of race wheels!

[@carbonmafiaracewheels]

We build fast wheels so all your training turns out to be a fast time. We love it! Ready for the next race when you are!

[@dannybuckley2180]

Unreal mate. To run a 3.20 marathon at the end there is awesome. Well done!

[@Jax__Blue]

I've learnt to keep my Spotify open when watching your vids, you've always got some absolute bangers that I had forgotten about and need to add to my running playlist! 🤣

[@brodysearle]

Weapon mate!! Loved spending the couple days with you!!

[@lachlanearnshaw]

Goes both ways mate! Definitely the beginning of a great friendship full of many adventures

[@pbjorklund]

Go do things together. Love both your channels and journeys ❤ (still miss the “ok guys I’m going to go for a chill 4 hour Zwift ride. Here is some music. Ok guys that was an easy 450w 6 hour ride, see you next time”-vids

[@stewieswontheroundweregoin4653]

So glad to see you enjoying yourself on race day, that pre-race was night and day different to last time. That’s a phenomenal day out mate!

[@nicolecranshaw8417]

One of the most entertaining KZbinrs, with a great editing styles. I can’t stick around for many KZbin videos these days with a TikTok attention span but I’ll never skip one of these vids. Love

[@lasq88]

I just discovered your channel, IM Australia this year was my first full IM, though I finished almost 2,5 hours behind you ;) Congrats on a great time! I love the content on your channel! Cheers

[@harrygoodenough]

Unreal mate! How’s the casual talking while holding that pace on the run! Your a weapon mate

[@joshuafoulds8107]

Stellar race! Glad to see you back. Everyone should look up Brody. I followed his whole build up to this race and it is awesome

[@brodysearle]

Much love bro!

[@Selfrighteouscyclist]

Well done Lachy on breaking the race down and burning your matches where they count the most, in the last 10km of the run. You have captured the essense of success for any athlete. When all is said and done, if you are not having fun, what's the point? Enjoy your success and build off this experience.

[@craigjok]

awesome racing. Congratulations. Great party time at the finish. Brings back memories of my finish. You Rock.

[@kajet666]

I really like the humor and the fact that you're not taking yourself THAT seriously (unlike many "elite AGers"). Keep it up! Massive thanks for the video, I had a blast, and congrats on the very respectable result.

[@MaDiViL696]

glad to see you enjoying it. That's what matter most!

[@OwenSTri]

Love it mate! Great new perspective on racing! Hopefully see ya in a race sometime soon!

[@lachlanearnshaw]

For sure!

[@runningwithmarc]

Great video and watch, thanks for taking the time to make it. oh and congrats on a great result 💪 Loved the ending also

[@michaelflanagan5066]

Congrats. Great to see a plan come to fruition. You also got Pete Vaughan near the end - his #124th Ironman.

[@Billinghamboys]

Great work Lachie Pleasure to share the course with you on route to our first Ironman’s

[@yaohan1484]

Hey Lachlan, awesome to see you finally see some great results from the hard work you've been putting in. Keep it up, sub-9 is right around the corner!

[@HristoMitev123]

Absolute mad lad, this is just insane. One day I'll have to try this (currently too obsessed with regular cycling haha).

[@felixoates]

Absolute king mate - this is so insane and has got me thinking about adding Port Mac to the calendar 😬

[@torquesjr]

Good on you mate! Super motivating to see you having fun with it, that’s what it’s all about. Keep up the good work man

[@Adamcycles]

Congrats man! Great result 💪

[@BamBamSamification]

Wow …just wow! Congrats 🎉

[@jack23thedude]

Well done mate!!! I loved the new approach to racing ❤

[@okeo158]

Nice man, great performance!

[@DavidDA99]

dude, huge congrats! as for the viodes, we don't need crazy ideas and shenanigans, just yourself training is plenty nice to learn from

[@Jono01]

Well done Lachlan! I love your new approach. 😊

[@BenBowman97]

Late commenting, but this so impressive! It's great that all of your hard work payed off. Sub 9 is definitely within-reach for you.

[@bjornschuhmacher4312]

Strong, very improved mindset - great work!

[@matthewmirandaa]

Awesome video man gotta admit I’ve become a fan, looking forward to seeing that sub 9 and also to share the same joy and emotion for the sport, much love and support from Costa Rica, pura vida!!! 🫶🏼🇨🇷

[@dhill1045]

Congrats dude! Sub 9 is in sight for sure

[@aaronpolte1288]

Good to see you back!

[@dancooperish]

Massive effort! Nice work, Lachie!

[@XXTheTobeMistroXX]

Mega effort mate! Absolutely smashed it 👏

[@suffa011]

[@LewisFordham]

Awesome effort mate!! 🔥

[@aaronp3781]

Chris road to Kona update required! Far out, good work Lachy ! Chalk and cheese from 12 months ago. How’d you go with blood sugar monitoring race and training?

[@lachlanearnshaw]

That was crazy from Chris hey!

[@aaronp3781]

@@lachlanearnshawyeah pushing hard for a qualification I reckon.

[@joemalone1836]

awesome mate. Inspiring stuff.

[@chriswilliams2962]

Bloody great job!

[@scottconnolly9356]

Well done mate - I was happy to see you out there last week and that the sport plus the videos didn’t burn you out. On to Busso! I’ll also be heading over

[@lachlanearnshaw]

Thanks for the continued support mate! Looking forward to Busso

[@parkerkerth8446]

Love the nerd belt !

[@leonkrain1925]

Really enjoyed watching - great video it's really motivating

[@petershi325]

Fantastic video Lachlan. Your positivity is inspirational! Great job on the race!

[@timkotze5041]

Absolutely smashed it! Mega

[@stasz4375]

Great performance Lachlan!

[@finnv5459]

insane effort. Kudos

[@d0neall_]

Great pacing! If you make it sub 9 at Ironman WA it would be insane improvement, so maybe next year!

[@lachlanearnshaw]

Yeah I think I could definitely go low 9 at Busso this year but might need another or two year of development before I can crack the 9

[@isaacbarry3050]

Onya Lach kudos

[@Josh-zz9ld]

Love it! Super impressive and your videos are always top quality

[@terrymcmaster2787]

Well done

[@michelleklein3713]

Congratulations on a great race! Great to see you having such a fun day as well…. The mental side of things is always ….a thing 😂

[@vincentslusser9205]

Most Awesome Lachlan !! 🎉🎉🎉

[@endurodadclint5377]

Sub 10 at port is very impressive. I reckon it’s 30 mins harder course than cairns and Busso

[@tobias3581]

Good job 👏

[@benmilligan9255]

Great video

[@too_oden2199]

Great vid mate

[@PhilipBarber91]

Solid !!!

[@edumoix]

Well done and impressive how “easy” you made it look this sub-10 😅

[@LauraAlmonte-px1wx]

Top effort mate. great comeback from the disappointment of last year

[@alexp2864]

lets go mate!!

[@fbedendo]

awesome videooooo

[@parkerkerth8446]

You’ll enjoy it more with a coach :)

[@JensenScoot]

Well done. I’ve done 4 sub 10 IM’s, PB of 9:20 and at 55 went 9:50 at IM Arizona last year. I weigh 70 kilo’s and eat 120g of carbohydrates per hour in the bike. You need to double your carb intake.

[@na-dk9vm]

Would I be right in saying that to do a full Ironman, you need be be at the level of ""Athlete"" fitness wise?? I've a full coming up next year, and that's the level of fitness I'm telling myself I have to be at- an "Athlete".

[@margincalled422]

Song list?

[@lachlanearnshaw]

Satisfaction, joker and the thief, we like to party

[@margincalled422]

​@@lachlanearnshaw cheers Lachlan

[@margincalled422]

​@@lachlanearnshawyou always have the best music

[@joshpain349]

Only 47mins to go to get to your original goal.

[@istree1]

Double Ironman when?

[@lachlanearnshaw]

Would be sick, I’ve though about doing a full and then turning around and doing it in reverse

[@bottleit]

Mate we've been off KZbin for awhile and were so bloody stoked to watch this as our first video back. Not only because of you so proudly rocking the Floral. But two other great points - The Better Help sponsor, what a great movement/brand, without your good self, wouldn't have known such a quality service existed. Secondly, your race approach. Really resonated with what most athletes should be aiming for, including myself. Really refreshing to see the foot taken off the throttle to a degree, and see the results that come with it. Great stuff as always mate. Lets get you on that Podcast that we've been threatening for 2 years now haha

[@lachlanearnshaw]

Love it! Let’s make it hapoen

[@matt.k5161]

👏

[@Lankysprinter]

I vote we crowd fund to fly you to the fastest course we can find. If I was rich I’d pay the bill in exchange for a video

[@lachlanearnshaw]

Too kind, I’ll fly myself over to Busselton and have a crack

[@scottparrey7851]

Congratulations on your first sub 10 hour. If Baggsy was still the race director he’d be sending you a letter to explain why you shouldn’t be DQ.

[@jacobjdong]

epic

[@aominaito]

Sad to see you taking sponsorships from BetterHelp and I hope you are aware what you are advertising. Absolutely amazing race and a great video! I hope to see more.

[@zacharymiley8497]

He is able to make some extra income and support a company that betters people's mental health and their lives. I think that's a win win

[@aominaito]

@@zacharymiley8497 This is what BetterHelp advertises that they do but if you do a little bit of research you can see that the company has multiple lawsuits for selling customer data, funneling customers through fake websites like CareDash and using shady tactics to try to keep people from canceling their subscriptions even though they are unhappy with the service. I do not think you should support a service which abuses people's need for therapy to squeeze money from them in every way possible.

[@tokilladaemon]

Huge. Sub 9 next, right? 😅

[@lachlanearnshaw]

Ha we will just have to see how my fitness progresses. It’ll happen sooner or later as long as I stick with it

[@terrymcmaster2787]

Well done
