Triathlete VS Cyclist | Will Heather Beat Manon In A Duathlon?

[@chrisgolomb2036]

Manon is such a champion for doing these challenges.

[@andrewmcalister3462]

I think my favourite was her appearance in Heather's 80s workout video.😂

[@ruizmorelos]

Yeah… she’s such a champ and always makes this videos very fun content

[@tman5634]

She looks overweight to me?

[@deskotjes6536]

@@tman5634 She's not.

[@dionong5248]

She’s not fat … she has got the sprint cyclist physique.

[@benkeyte3986]

Heres a thought, do a team triathlon against mark. Heather swim, manon ride, james run. That would be interesting

[@heinjalving2321]

That would be really enjoyeable!!!

[@technodork101]

Yes!!!

[@JesBeckwith]

Thats a great idea- GTN

[@clara6705]

I love it when GTN includes the GCN presenters in their videos! Especially enjoy watch Heather and Manon do challenges together! More of this please 😊

[@_Zabamund_]

Massive kudos to Manon for doing this! And Heather is always just amazing, respect to you both!

[@guythacker6010]

I like the Challenges that Manon gets into. She is such an inspiration to get us out of our comfort zone. Great Video

[@jamiefarrell6496]

Would love to see GTN vs GCN vs GMBN (co-ed) team relays! Maybe even Xterra style to throw in an extra little spice. Would be interesting to see who each team selected for each leg, maybe Heather vs Conor vs Blake swim, James vs Manon vs Anna bike and Mark vs Hank vs Rich or Isaac? 👍🏻👍🏻

[@thorgrimb2416]

Make it a dual header first event they do their preferred event second time they can not do their preferred event and it is combined time for both events that determines the winner.

[@andreasmaher8749]

Thanks for adding some duathlon content every so often for us "dryathletes". Running twice is no joke. LOL

[@martinstaveley6525]

Manon, you should have thrown Heather's running shoes over the fence when you came in on the bike.

[@cmstephensen]

That was excellent! Way to go Manon! “Cheating legs” was hilarious! Can’t wait to see some payback 😂

[@markbphilip]

Much respect to Manon! Would love to see a series, GTN trains GCN (Hank and Manon perhaps?) for a triathlon? Challenge London 70.3 now that's on the calendar?

[@brayan8346]

I’d like for them to do a legitimate challenge with the same equipment with exception to the running shoes or color of kit. Otherwise these challenges are silly, proving that outspending gives an advantage.

[@tylerbollmann3234]

Great to see Manon out of her comfort zone. Time for Manon to take on a 6 - 12 week TRI training course with GTN

[@billszymanski4844]

that is a great idea

[@lionden4]

Did Manon, said “oh God”?.. I felt what she was experiencing while doing this challenge..

[@donbracci2199]

Great job, both Heather and Manon! I love these videos. I appreciate Manon getting out of her comfort zone.

[@shepshape2585]

This was an easy one to call without having to watch the video. Triathletes are proficient in cycling and running, whereas if you only ride bikes and never run, you're not going to stand a chance. The difference between a fast cyclist and an average cyclist is around a minute per mile, whereas the difference between a fast runner and an average runner is more like 3 or 4 minutes per mile. A lot of people would think that cycling would help with running, but it's not true at all. I know plenty of A group cyclists who couldn't run a 9 minute mile.

[@bmp12]

I’m in love with these two even just for their accent 😍

[@antonlvdm]

When I was a junior, I was racing at an international level. One time, I entered a triathlon just for fun, cause I thought I might do well due to my TT skills. I nearly drowned in the swim! It was so tough that I swam to the side, so just my head would be above the water and I pretended to swim, while just walking. With the TT I caught a ton of people, but it only brought me halfway through the field. Then in the run I got destroyed again! Such a different kind of suffering! Never tried it again. I did enter it as a team though, were I had friends running and swimming and I did the TT. Hats of to those guys who train so many different sports.

[@Coogfan1996]

I love how Global *Pick-a-Sport* Network loves to run Manon to the ground with every challenge. She is such a champ!

[@guillaumepoirier3618]

Cannot wait to watch this one. I love every challenge that involves Heather ever since that un- fueled iron man. Women may not be quicker than men, but they are just so tough!

[@stephaniedannenberg901]

I have great satisfaction seeing a road bike pass a TT bike!! Loved seeing her out there giving her all.

[@HolisticHealthEducation]

Thank you Manon. That was great. Just remember, Heather is a machine. No one can beat her on anything, other than a short sprint.

[@garywebber3228]

absolute rubish !! lol

[@WaechterDerNacht]

I feel like we need a rematch in a velodrome-duathlon...

[@Azmodaeus49]

Yep I agree

[@manon-lloyd]

I like the sound of this

[@gundamzaku214]

Manon just rolled up in a "normal looking" road bike LOL. great job you two!!!

[@nightsfalling]

Nice to see Manon on this channel again. Well done girls!

[@dpomberger]

Yeah, Manon go! Massive kudos!

[@Papa-Bogey]

Heather: “it’s warmed up a little outside …” wearing a winter jacket.

[@user-cx2bk6pm2f]

Love seeing the ladies competing!! But who to root for... I love you both 😀👍

[@StephenDeTroye]

Manon needs to take Heather on a gnarly gravel bike ride!

[@gtn]

We totally agree 🙌 👀

[@katherinehomer8326]

would love to see you two do a long distance cycling challenge together sometime! GCN frequently has male presenters do them :)

[@gaborvajda7277]

It was interesting to see how much higher RPM Manon was riding than Heather. Plus, the time trial bike was not a big advantage here, because the road was very winding. There was a corner where Heather had already rolled while Mannon kept pedaling. Go for it girls :-)

[@the23er]

When Manon did the drafting i had to giggle a bit, classic. When Heather started running it look liked the terminator T-2000 was on the hunt again.

[@user-cx2bk6pm2f]

Oy, my dudettes. Heather's running was unstoppable! Her form is a joy to watch.

[@andrewthomas1614]

It’s easy enough to look at a bike run bike with the relative distances making up for the relative speeds of Manon & Heather, and I love the idea of a velodrome ride for heather, maybe a handicapped pursuit race?

[@barryfield9300]

Very entertaining, congrats to Heaher and kudos to Manon for being a good sport. Hey Heather perhaps Manon deserves that sharp GTN kit?

[@aldrinclementina4297]

The sound fx when Heather run pass Manon... 🤣. Both girls are amazing. Manon managed to close the gap on the bike, and Heather easily close the gap while running..both are build different you can see it. Nice Kit btw ladies..😍

[@andrewhawthorne688]

Definitely want to see Manon vs Heather in an Aquabike. I've heard Manon is a pretty good swimmer.

[@kevincollins9894]

Manon in a swim suit! Oh Yeah!!!

[@clairhardywynn5620]

Massive kudos to manon, what a trooper, heather that was a wee bit cheeky of you 😂🤭

[@Grovreicraynth]

GCN vs GMBN vs GTN 5k Run -> 15k Cycling in the pavement -> 3k Run -> 6k XC riding -> 3k run That would be absolutely epic.

[@wolverinejack6691]

Manon has such a great sport spirit. Just pushed through the pain.

[@francishechanova3611]

Good job, Manon. Yes, she's a trooper.

[@od1koneod171]

Manon is a champion! Super effort. Heather, need to see you test your bike legs more.

[@ElidioMarquina]

Always in love to see Manon in this series.

[@rudolphpyatt4833]

Time for Manon to take Heather to the velodrome…

[@nizam_mr]

Good job Manon 💪 I hope Mark or James gonna get Hank n Blake try real duathlon race 🙏 also to Manon's question "why cant it be bike-run-bike?" Actually it can, depending on the race organizer doing the weird format. I had 1 race in that format 😂

[@ArdGeal-h6c]

Duathlon should be just that... bike/run or run/bike, each discipline just once.

[@monunyabidness5949]

Lovely stuff ladies. You're such great sports!!!

[@bericiq]

Great to see Manon sporting a GTN kit.

[@JohnSmith-ox7xc]

You should do a bike run bike version, see how much a difference that would make to the end result

[@alfredongos]

HHHMMM... What if now Heather faces Manon in the velodrome???...

[@suzuki06g]

Maybe Manon could do an instructional on setting up a TT bike or being more efficient on the bike to save energy, even fueling while riding is something that anyone can learn from.

[@technodork101]

Fair play to Manon! Though most of the duathlons I’ve seen (at least in the US and Canada) have the shorter run first, and the longer run after the bike.

[@adamweb]

I really like all the channel presenter crossovers lately! Next we need Blake Samson swimming!

[@blrun129]

Relay ladies triathlon next with GTN-GMBN and GCN would be fantastic

[@Bicyclechris]

What I have learned about Duathlon: Ride for show, run for dough.

[@MMichiganSalveRegina]

Love to see a men's version of this. Wout vs Lionel

[@user-cx2bk6pm2f]

Be creative to lure Manon back for another event, Heather! Manon says, "fool me once, fool me twice" 😀👍

[@2KEEPYACOOL]

A challenge consisting of a bike run bike format would be interesting to watch.

[@colinb8327]

Gotta say, Manons a great sport for doing these, but dare I say drafting? 😂 Well done to both for giving us such great entertainment over the series.

[@camilomartinez3235]

The TT bike was unnecessary 😢 Manon is not a runner Go Manon! ❤❤

[@katherinehomer8326]

you are both my favorite members of gcn and gtn respectively, love this lil mini series!

[@SBoots29]

Way to go ladies. I agree with one post. Do a bike run bike. Never knew drafting was legal in Duathlon. LOL. Next Manon and Heather at the track. Cheers

[@marcuswills6569]

Or, drafting was legal and Heather was on an illegal bike ;-)

[@andrewmetcalfe9898]

Here’s a thought: how about giving Manon 6-8 weeks notice and setting the course at 1 lap (1.5km) run, 6 lap bike, 1 lap run well in advance, so perhaps … she could actually prepare … I’ve heard that … check notes … there is this thing called ‘training’ that can actually work … ;)

[@guillaumepoirier3618]

Manon, Heather, thanks for taking part on such unscientific tests. I really thought that Manon would win thanks ti drafting... Oh well. Your both more capable than most of us.

[@jaydesimone4297]

Such a good sport, Manon! Heather is used to both sports...that had to be brutal!

[@benaitken3680]

Time for Manon to get Heather on the velodrome

[@jascollinscork]

Great challenge there ladies!! GTN needs to do a GTN men vs GCN men now?? Think Manon needs to bring Heather on a Gravel ride…. 🤔 That’ll soften Heather’s cough 😉😉

[@AdamWRides]

Yeah, as long as it’s Ollie; he’s actually a pretty reasonable runner!

[@jeffreywilliams3646]

Maybe a swim-run? Or perhaps take Heather to the bike oval?

[@danieldetinne]

AQUA BIKE You are both amazing. I always enjoy the content.

[@emilioo5349]

LETS' GO MANON!! you can do this

[@richard73]

I think your both in your comfort zone,I’d have you go to a bike park and ride a MTB trail.

[@cheec8548]

Should get Si to do one of these. I think he is the fittest in the team..

[@IainThacker]

How about coaching Manon to a Sprint Tri? Great vid guys.

[@peterfranzjr.1190]

Manon looks like me after my first Du!! My legs failed on my second run too 😂

[@tonytrott6318]

If you can not run 5 miles in 40 minutes the SAS do not consider you to be even averagely fit for a civilian. The BFT run for a soldier is a mile and a half run in about ten minutes with another mile and a half run at your best personal effort with someone 3p years old being expected to do the second mile and a half in less than ten minutes.

[@zombie93]

next you have to race Manon up ADZ!!

[@andrewmcalister3462]

4:03 Manon is a consummate roadie - moves straight into the draft, even on the run. 🥵

[@andrewmcalister3462]

@@kaylee.f True. I'd forgotten she had a track background.

[@liammerrick6399]

Ride run ride is the obvious choice I think. As I triathlete, at least you have riding experience. Cyclists don't usually run much so I think it would even the playing field

[@OriginallyToowie]

Love these two!

[@docalvin15]

Awesome guys, WTG Manon!!! And Heather 🎉

[@Ipitythefool87]

lol this was unfair from the get go 😂

[@01FozzyS]

Manon, you're a beast!

[@Azmodaeus49]

This gtn lady had an unfair advantage, this was not fair at all.

[@nigeldepledge3790]

The obvious other challenge to pit Heather against Manon would be to go to a velodrome and have a go at some of the track cycling events . . .

[@screscenti]

Manon is a Rock Star, but Heather is an Absolute Weapon! ❤

[@nataliazen]

Manon, invite Heather for a crit race or on the indoor bike track! I would love to see that!!!

[@adamrobinson3929]

Great vidro and top effort from Heather and Manon - when Manon knew that Heather would have the advantage on the run why did Manon sit on Heather's wheel during the bike and not push to build an advantage going into the final run? 🤔 Was Manon at max effort on the bike? Or was it self-preservation?

[@andreemurray7039]

You 2 young ladies are awesome love tosee you two do a 2 up two time trail ??

[@RichThomas]

Manon - don’t do these! Heather is stitching you up. It is no contest wrt the run leg. Puts you at such a disadvantage. You need to do a cycling only challenge - maybe endurance (Heather’s strength) vs shorter (sprints your strength). Maybe one of each type.

[@matthewbaynham6286]

In pro bike racing people run next to the competitors who are cycling up massive mountains. But they only run along for a minute or so. I'm just wondering if someone like Manon was to cycle up the biggest climb in the Tour de France, could someone running keep up all the way to the top of the mountain?

[@user-cx2bk6pm2f]

Agreeing to a competition before the rules are set is very brave or very foolish. Hi Manon, love you 😀👍

[@darthjohn0]

We really need to see the male GTN presenters do this. And we especially needs to seem them swim!

[@johnluujl]

Hasn't Richie from GCN auf Deutsch been doing some Triathlon training? That could make for a fun collab in the future:)

[@sebastienbrochard9812]

Lol, Heather can't stand the thought of loosing to Manon at all! 😂 I say, get a 3rd ironlady and enter a relay for the win!!! Go Girls!

[@larrylem3582]

Heather kept dropping the proposed distances as if she was doing Manon a favor but no actual analysis took place. They could have easily estimated pace, calculated splits and found that both runs would have to drop to a hundred meters for Manon to tie.

[@leeadams2413]

If I remeber did'nt Hank want to do a Ironman. Love Manon for giving it ago, wathching the run mechanics from Heather and Manon was claer to see

[@debasishsen9397]

ok i think this challenge is kind of fixed. had it been cycle, run n cycle...heather would hv lost. still unable to understand how Manon can take a lead in cycling even after Heather starting early n with equivalent performing bike.

[@chrisstrider]

Manon deserves a cycling rematch……or a wine off😊

[@michaelmajor6595]

If you have seen an unfair race ... Hats off to Manon

[@99cya]

a bike challenge would be fun: indoor super fast, road flat and mountain up for the end.

[@Dunky80]

Fair play to Manon. For next time how about also having Ollie Bridgewood?
