Race Day Preparation | What Went Wrong

[@robbo3132]

Holy's filming and editing is impressive!!! Much progression ✨

[@kevinmutlow]

How can you not love these two! Be great if you could share/publish some of your home workout ideas and routines using minimal equipment. I’m sure many of us could benefit, and would be highly appreciative 🙏🏻

[@jorgenvonborgen]

That face during physio! Ouch I know the feeling. Thanks for sharing all the ups and downs contrary to what some people think, we are not robots but delicate flesh and bones. Good luck on race day, I'll be routing for you!

[@Chaz8su]

@Reece’s question- when your body fights off an infectious agent, one of your bodies mechanisms to fight it off is to heat up your blood and cool down. Its why you get a fever and chills, this maybe the reason for the glucose fluctuations in your blood readings

[@marie-lucefortier3045]

Great job!! You are a World Champion!! Bravo!!🏊‍♀️🚵‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[@akshaydeora5182]

Congratulations and best wishes for kona. I am your big fan.

[@ingeross4384]

Lucy, I am SO, so stoked about your win!^^ Yay....first place. Big congratulations!

[@Jdwmaguire]

WORLD CHAMP!

[@jamesdavis-ford6882]

I commented before the Lola cameo at 9:10. Lola!!!! This video was already a 10 out of 10, now it's now shot up to 100. Thanks for that.

[@thelonesculler]

That mention of Sierra Nevada just made me think about the hell that is GB Rowing altitude camps that they have there

[@fahdalkhalifah7110]

Always enjoy watching your prep videos 🙌 and absolutely love it when seeing you performing your best in these races the following day 😍🤍👏🏼 .. Go team #Charles-Barclay💪

[@jdtaylor81]

Loved Reece's insights on the altitude impacts. Thanks team and congrats Lucy!

[@arg28]

Go Go Go Lucy!! Best of luck!! Congrats Reece for the 2nd place and thank you Holly for the videos, they are amazing!!!

[@michaelellison8329]

Lucy you gonna win this for all those people that you inspire. Go Champ! Reece top 5 is on order - Go Man Go

[@claudiogpr07]

Reece, when you get sick, your body naturally produces additional glucose, providing energy to fight the infection. The flu can also cause the body to release stress hormones (adrenaline and cortisol), which reduce the effectiveness of insulin, which is responsible for lowering glucose levels. Combined, these two effects can result in an increase in glucose, making it difficult to reduce it to levels considered normal. Lucy, good luck at 70.3 Worlds!

[@LucyCharlesBarclay]

Thanks for the explanation, makes sense

[@m.r.6264]

Congratulations on 2nd place on a downhill half marathon, Reece!! Good luck at 70.3 Worlds, Lucy!!

[@piotrantoniak9604]

Congrats

[@akshaydeora5182]

Congratulations

[@gregorylebret]

Well done Lucy, you smashed it!

[@jaimestacy8532]

Lucy just keeps getting stronger. Can’t wait to see what you can do at 35!

[@DavidFritzIII]

Way to go start number 105! Congrats on the amazing performance!

[@markmcfadden7428]

Obviously the training paid off, congrats on your win!

[@Natalie-rl7dq]

Omg Lucy!!! I had the WORST migraine all day yesterday due to the dry weather and maybe altitude. I thought i was gonna have to bail, but bounced back today. So glad you're still racing too! Kill it!

[@Ironrav]

Great prep for your amazing WC win! Fantastic insights into your training Lucy.

[@timmclaughlin1787]

Well done, very informative, thanks for sharing the real challenges being faced going into a race! Congratulations on the outcome Lucy and Reece.

[@davidw2892]

Great to see the altitude training paid off. CONGRATS!!

[@belindakaiser7840]

Good luck Lucy.

[@somersetfan1]

Thanks for introducing me to Lupus Nocte - Someone New, got it from the lyrics :-)

[@gemmatredwell1734]

Great video highlighting the struggles leading in. Good luck Lucy and enjoy

[@robbo3132]

Your run form looks better than ever, Looking forward to see you smash it !!🔥🔥💪

[@nikhoward]

Well done on your win. So happy for you and you deserve it,

[@evelynwieland4913]

That video was really inspiring. I caught a cold and could not do my last 2 sessions. Tomorrow is the last long run before my first marathon. In my mind I was freaking out, but thanks to your advice and shared experience, I feel better already. Good luck for your race. Evelyn 🇩🇪

[@michaelr.8402]

Congrats Reece & Go Lucy, GO!💥🥇

[@woutermolevelt1507]

Amazing race today!! Huge congrats!!!

[@morganvon5664]

What a dominating win! Your 1/2 marathon was just amazing. Safe travels and enjoy your victory.

[@DevonNorrex]

I can not watch your videos in the late evening😅. I always want to go out again and train! Realy enjoy all of your content. Keep on going. A big fan!

[@ataliabeukes5253]

Thank you so much for sharing Lucy. Your journey is so inspirational. Cheers from South Africa!

[@djio_0]

You're the best! Such an amazing performance today. Congratulations! You inspire many people.

[@aureliensebellin974]

You will kill it! Go Lucy!

[@kimscott2614]

All the best Lucy! I am so excited to watch you race!

[@cutenekko]

I really enjoyed seeing your weight training set-up: a few weights and a band to build muscle. Inspiring to know you don't need fancy equipment or gym memberships to train well.

[@buckscobro1891]

Congrats on the win Lucy!!!

[@kaif_ff2283]

the cold that litteraly all europe had xD

[@marlonrodrigomendezgalindo4383]

Greetings from Guatemala! I do not miss any video, but I would like you to enable the option to translate into Spanish in the last videos that have been uploaded because it has not allowed me to do it for a couple of months, thank you, you are an inspiration.

[@jamesdavis-ford6882]

Glad you're both feeling better. That's quite the list! I'm sure that it wasn't fun when you were going through it but heartened to hear you both come out the other side so positively, better adapted to altitude, and ready to go! Best wishes for executing St George to your liking. You're gonna smash it!

[@zsuzsannamarjai6493]

Best of luck for tomorrow’s race!!! I’m so thrilled to see you on the course!!! I’ll shout for sure!!! 👍🏻💪🏻

[@mehcos]

Hey! I’m so excited!!! I was over there and saw that you had signed next to your name!!!! Your gonna do great!!! We’re cheering for you!!

[@gourami7]

Well this didn't age well ! Everything went right, congrats on your first WC Lucy, dominant gun to tape win !

[@russamehta]

All the best Lucy. Smash it.

[@jakehilderbrand4631]

I can't wait to watch you race Lucy!! You are going to TOTALLY SMASH it!! Let's go!!💪🦸‍♀️🏊‍♀️🚴‍♀️🏃‍♀️😁👏 I am glad you shared that going into races sometimes you have to overcome some adversity before making it to the start line! Super helpful for people entering triathlon to know it doesn't always go so smooth but you can still overcome, have a great race, and build confidence!! I'm glad you and reece are getting some altitude training in! The altitude training will help prep the body for the race! #TeamCharlesBarclayIsAwesome

[@notmyrealname6272]

My first ever race is on Sunday. This has really inspired me to absolutely go hyperdrive and smash it or die trying. :0 (I mean hopefully not!) Such good luck. You’ll be amazing.

[@notmyrealname6272]

Loved it and came pretty high up so absolutely chuffed to bits. Yay! Lucy though….whaaaaaat…..????? Just watched it as a reward and wow 🤩 Absolutely incrrrrrrrredible!!!!!!! Jaw dropping.

[@Kid_ofthefuture]

Lot’s of dedication here, It definitely pays off at the end, UK-Dolphin you are an amazing Athlete no doughs about it.

[@jaigeyer9596]

Great content and footage. Thanks for sharing. Inspirational

[@kerricappy4890]

You're blood glucose will be affected by illness or stress. It's normal for it to go higher when you are sick, especially if you have a temperature. As for the low readings, your body might have been working extra hard to cope with the training whilst sick.

[@davidlongmuir2388]

Maybe the migraine was because of altitude and your body adapting. It happened to me the first time i went to altitude for training. Good luck at worlds YOU'RE GOING TO SMASH IT!

[@christiansavage6599]

Well done Reece in your 2nd place in the half!!! Good luck Lucy. Looks like it's been a great training move at altitude. 👍🏻

[@simonkearn1708]

Shame about Sierra Nevada. Loved it there when I went with the synchro team as a coach. Diabetics do see an increase in blood sugar levels when unwell

[@McStoolio]

Migraine is awful, I only get a couple a year, usually when tired, stressed and run down. Puts me in a dark room for a day…

[@vsrugby]

Thank-you for sharing your experience in Utah brilliant content ! Have the most amazing race on Saturday Lucy 🤩 p.s loving the Lola socks 🐶

[@jamesd5241]

Great job Holly for these videos

[@HenningFCB]

Thank you for the great video and all the best for the worldchampionchip!

[@xrz100]

Lucy is a professional triathlete and Ironwoman - fullstop

[@rafaelarevalo1543]

Amazing video. Good luck on race day. Reece mentioned supplements for altitude, what were you using?

[@crankgreenwatts]

First .. Go TC-B 💯 Fab front wheel block for the trainer 👌

[@barryfield9300]

Light headed getting off the cough sounds like orthostatic hypotension (low blood pressure-90/60 or lower) as opposed to blood glucose level.

[@matthewcartner583]

Lucy has this adorable playful side that is just so charming, check out how she runs at 4:41

[@markshipman9192]

Can you start adding the songs in the show notes? Always love the tunes!

[@kimberleegardner3580]

Shazam them

[@MrWillman66]

So many of them are by Ooyy, if you look them up on KZbin/Spotify, you'll find them :)

[@nigeburgess5950]

Great video guys. Lots of varied sessions subjects and learnings. Can you please provide some details of your day to day training relative to altitude. Ie, 5 days easy training at lower altitude, then X sessions @ X altitude on X days.. Also do you do any IHE or altitude tent sleeping when at sea level? Thanks in advance and all the best at 70.3 worlds.

[@samiraunbekannt6369]

You're gonna smash it 👊🏻🤩

[@markallen8203]

Love the videos,good luck for the race

[@60lbsofcrazy]

Reece, sounds like you need to even out that downhill half marathon with an uphill one. We have a local race called Pier to Peak which starts at the ocean and finishes over 1200m above sea level... Just saying!

[@Nils_m9]

I caught a cold aswell… I was also wondering about my low heart rate since I usually can maintain really high hr over longer periods of time

[@gingersinco7934]

watching from the philippines ❤

[@albanpuech734]

Hey, sorry I am not an English native speaker, is "we was" and *he don't" something common to say in their region/ hometown or is it like a slang ?

[@mondomassage2010]

Yes, I think you're correct. I noticed that, also. More regional way of phrasing. Not how I would speak as an American from my area...

[@alisonwilks302]

Love the videos ,good luck xxxxx

[@aris_tri5307]

Hey guys, does anyone know what model is Lucy’s blue sunglasses when she was doing the intervals around the lake loop ? Thanks 🙏

[@raffi3313]

lol at the dead fish. is there a camera team with you or are you doing all the shots alone?

[@kikayrunner]

Lucy's sister Holly is her official photog/videographer

[@wserda]

at 4:24, I like the seat cushion as a front tire riser.

[@TheDomLouis]

CRUSH IT 💪🏽❗️❗️❗️

[@bochluge]

U guys are seriously lucky it didn’t turn into Altitude Sickness. Take it from me, when I first moved out to Park City .. it hit me hard and put me in the hospital. Also, are you both racing? and finally, bring Lola next time, she’s really the star of these videos to be honest . :)

[@pulsefitness6044]

I think Lola would have been fine in the altitude! Lucky we didn’t get altitude sickness

[@OMGitsalozer]

Good luck this weekend, Lucy! I'm curious, who makes the black sports bra with the white-and-yellow flowers? I love the pattern and I want to get one!

[@jmburgos1433]

Goodluck Lucy

[@ervinsolano1984]

lucy try this song in the next vid "casulalidad - pedro capo&sofia reyes" is a good one

[@ip1261]

I had three weeks of stomach problems after my second anti-covid vaccine. I know it was that because I had a glimpse of it after the first one and I could recognize the symptoms...Also lost my appetite in that phase. It disappeared slowly during the time of one month...

[@ShukiMann]

You should add a subscribe button to the video and ask people to subscribe at the beginning of the video, since most of the viewers drop before the very end

[@miguelfranceschini5091]

Interesting I had some similar symptoms after taking the vaccine after several months. Curious how many people have had similar symptoms. Could it be because of the high intensity training?!

[@justtestingonce]

No, those are viral symptoms, they probably had COVID but being so fit they cleared it in a week.

[@SYNTAX_ERA]

Fitbit reccomendations? Pls?

[@tnan123]

I'm confused what altitude they are at. Sorry 2400 meters is not 9500 ft right?

[@LucyCharlesBarclay]

Sorry that was an error on my behalf, should be *7500ft. We don’t work in ft we use Metric. Reece

[@halleebouche952]

How did you get sponsored by redbull?

[@LucyCharlesBarclay]

They approached me after I won ironman Lanzarote in 2017

[@ellenvandestadt2934]

Like to know which strenght excercise you do

[@nagaphota925]

Ironing board 😆😆😆

[@herobo123456]

9:20 2400 meters is Not over 9500ft its 7800ft nice vid

[@everettburon9525]

Not 9500' ....

[@jamesengelsma3]

70 point free haha

[@ukaszbanasik9773]

in this video is your friend diabetes typ1 ? I saw white thing on his back arm

[@zieluch]

I thought Lucy will be one of the favourite in st George but, sounds like you experimenting a with attitude just before WC, I will be surprised if this will go well. Nevertheless wish all the best :)

[@est.9607]
