The Specialized Zwift Academy Tri Team | The 2019 IRONMAN World Championships

[@TheoDINHeli]

Every single one of them faced the challenges life throws at us. Role models for all of us age groupers reminding us to trust the process and believe in ourselves. Thanks.

[@Zwift]

Exactly, never give up, always believe in yourself 🥰 Ride On.

[@daniellucente4409]

The entire team and their mentors were very likable and inspiring. They all should be proud of what they accomplished. Thanks for taking us through their experiences!

[@Zwift]

Thanks for the kind words Daniel, we're glad you enjoyed the journey 🥰 Ride On.

[@SamTeller]

Bring it on 2020

[@genesequence]

It's been fascinating following the team's progress and to see the story reach this point... what an amazing adventure! Thanks to Zwift and Sarah and Tim and the team for sharing this inspiring journey! PS did my first Zwift run today with my runpod... looking forward to many more over the winter! Ride On!

[@Zwift]

We hope you enjoyed the journey as much as we did, thank you for all the support! 😊

[@aliflack]

Congrats to all you competitors, I simply cannot imagine how hard this must be and yet you make it look so...well easy ain’t the word...but you’re just so relaxed at the end!!

[@Zwift]

Thanks Alistair! Hope you enjoyed the journey too! 😊

[@davidhunter6918]

The heart everyone shows , just blows my mind. Amazing work , RIDE ON .

[@Zwift]

Thanks for the support David!

[@Justin-fx7mr]

It’s funny because his name is Justin and so is mine. I’m 22 and he’s 23. The only major difference is I respect Kona enough to never predict a win but just try to race to the best of my abilities. Hope to race him in the future. Glad this race humbled him. Amazing effort by the entire Zwift team! So inspiring.

[@Zwift]

Like he said, it's not about predicting a win, it's about believing in yourself :) #RideOn

[@jp7jdubs]

Yes, from watching the video you can clearly see that I was going around saying that I was going to win and nobody else even stood a chance. I think I may have even said something about predicting a "25%" chance of something... And as you could tell, i certainly did NOT try to race to the best of my abilities. Only the best people named Justin would try to do that. NEVER would those great Justins go into a race trying to win either! Blasphemy! Or god forbid they "think they have a shot" to win. The nerve! The only respectable thing to do is to go into a race trying your hardest to lose. Also if you would like to race me I do uphold that anybody who wants to 1v1 me in a triathlon in my hometown I have the perfect place for it (OWS, bike and run at same venue). I will even split the travel costs. I am getting an MRI to see if I tore my hip labrum. I am still down for a 1v1 even if it is torn. I give myself a less cocky 24% chance of winning.

[@youmartintube1989]

[@weeki_wachee]

What an enjoyable video. Lovely. Almost makes me proud to be on Zwift every now and then. A bit like these great champions. :-) Tim and Sarah seem to be great mentors. Thank you to all.

[@Zwift]

[@TheDomLouis]

[@Zwift]

Thanks! We couldn't do it without all your support 😊

[@liamgalway1451]

Best video I’ve seen all week. I’m soooo looking forward to zwift Tri academy 2020!

[@Zwift]

Less than 4 weeks to go! Can't wait! 🙌😃

[@remembertodoyourtraining2556]

5:26 woooow 800-900k per week amazing...I need to up my training 😅

[@Zwift]

Those are some serious numbers indeed! 😮

[@justinbutler3465]

Lol, I heard that and was about to comment on it, too!!

[@fysh1945]

Wow! What amazing efforts across the team. Congratulations to all of you!

[@Zwift]

Thank you! 😊

[@michaelmontalvo5757]

Beautiful video. Extremely inspirational. Thank you for sharing this.

[@Zwift]

Thank you for the kind words Michael 😊 Glad you enjoyed it!

[@baptisteduc5136]

Best video on KZbin ! That is very inspiring.

[@Zwift]

Merci Baptiste! 😊

[@IronNicoBe]

Truly motivating... Inspiring even !

[@Zwift]

🙌😊

[@griffinorlopp]

Famous last words from Justin..."Hope everyone else crumbles on the run"...

[@heikkisanelma6625]

Haha, sometimes the cockyness bites literally in the ass - but for justins he has so many great years ahead of him and i wish him all the fortunes, FULL SEND IT!

[@Zwift]

It was game plan... But sometimes game plans don't work as you'd expect 😳

[@rogerc23]

Yeah saying you’re planning to win your age group and being a cocky douchebag about it, then coming 29th is what I would say the game plan didn’t work. And if your game plan is hoping others fail you’re going to be royally F’d. And he was.

[@fullsendtriathlon624]

@@rogerc23 The alternative to planning to win... is planning to lose

[@jp7jdubs]

r.i.p.

[@authorjohnwquinn]

Congratulations everyone! Amazing effort!

[@Zwift]

Thank you John!

[@cyclingfan5683]

Finally longer episode 👍🏻

[@Zwift]

🙌😊

[@ryanb3174]

Justin got a taste of that humble pie

[@keeganbosch8165]

How is every one of these people so shockingly beautiful??? Triathlon really takes the best of us, huh?

[@endurodadclint5377]

This guys are basically professional age groupers. I hope next year zwift picks some average age groupers that I can relate more towards. 800-900k bike weeks and low 8 hr Ironman finish times are semi pro crazy

[@patrickgao7527]

OMG! Is that Lucy on the wheelchair?! 18:59

[@Zwift]

It is 😳 That's how brutal Kona is, even for the podium finishers!

[@karensbishop]

It’s hard to keep track of who is who because they all look so similar.

[@ifonly2675]

????????

[@gabriellakyriacou3488]

how did Sara True did well done to everyone keep inspiring us

[@tommyaleksandersen7700]

You should have picked me for that team!!

[@Zwift]

Maybe for 2020! 🙌

[@gregmagrath7444]

A pity Sarah True dint finish the race again.......3rd one in a row. Something is seriously wrong with her training or nutrition!!!

[@desmondyap5391]

I agree

[@Maximilian21]

это дом ска 2 у нормальных людей)

[@neilreynolds432]

Should have a few older guys on the team hahah
