Lucy a great example of earned not given ! You really worked hard and its overdue ! Not often someone smashes it out if the park to win the first title, all that short course racing really helped What an awesome day !

[@microphonecheck1603]

Congratulations Lucy, you are truly inspirational!!

[@farrelchinnappa9484]

Talent has nothing to do with winning, it's pure hard work dedication, well done team Barclay. Enjoy the moment.

[@mungflesh199]

Well done Lucy and team. Very pleased for you.

[@McStoolio]

Well done Lucy. I don’t think anyone could grudge you this win. Completely deserved.

[@aliciaproud2830]

Awesome achievement Lucy, big congratulations!! From here in the Cayman Islands! x

[@bikingrealtor]

Congratulations idol Lucy, Reece and to all the team! World Champion!! 🥂🥂🥂

[@lauramorris4632]

Wow! Congratulations!!!!!!!! Amazing work! So inspiring

[@triswimcoach57]

Well done Team Charles-Barclay! There is a saying: "It takes about 15 years to become an overnight success." In your case, it seems that you've cut that time in half. Congratulations! Keep getting stronger, better, faster...and sharing your kindness and smiles all the while.

[@dra.bordignon]

I got emotional watching you smashing it at the race Lucy! Congratulations on this well deserved title!! and thank you for letting us in all the hard work you did to get it. Stellar performance! you are a great inspiration...

[@susanwiggins6309]

Incredible - congratulations Lucy!

[@notmyrealname6272]

Unbelievably dominant performance. PURE CLASS. having followed your videos and been inspired by your work ethic and attitude for so long I am absolutely delighted for you. Delighted. I watched the whole thing as a treat after my first ever event at the weekend. SUCH an inspiration. Also love the fact that having noticed you’re sponsored by Vespa I’m literally looking at the name of my dog on your back. I know as a dog owner you’ll understand that! I expect she gave you a little 0.0001% boost from back here in the U.K. (she’s a fast runner and swimmer just not so hot on the bike haha) Sorry bla bla. CONGRATULATIONS LUCY. so so happy for you. Utter dominance. Incredible.

[@wimvdputte]

Have my first 70.3 this weekend. This video is just what I needed to give me a last boost of motivation. You are so inspiring Lucy. You have no idea!!!!

[@ldburn]

Well done Lucy, all that hard work paid off and you bossed it! Got to admit though, Robin Hood half this weekend and I'm aiming for a 1:40... Just shy of 1:19 after the swim and ride is obscene :p

[@mysho6317]

CONGRATULATIONS !!!....................Not only for the amazing Athletic performance against a very strong field but also for ALL the Teamwork, Planning & Preparation Execution that provided a solid foundation for the Performance. Reece contributed so much especially with all the logistics & support, along with the other team members who traveled too. Arriving in Utah early not only to acclimate, train at altitude, get over all the leftover issues from the Collins Cup and have time to address any/all problems ie; bike adjustment in a calm & thoughtful manner was a Brilliant move by an experienced Pro team. Great Job & well deserved World Championship

[@mcorbett01]

Fantastic achievement, well done to you, Reece and the team 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🍾

[@jan-peterandriessen4682]

A STAR is born...........Congratulations from the Netherlands

Awesome job Lucy! You had such an amazing race! Congrats!

[@nathanmclain9027]

It was awesome cheering you on from the Aid station #2 on the run as a volunteer. Each time you came by It was fun to give you the amount of time you had into Taylor and Jeanni. What a smashing victory by nearly 8 minutes. So awesome congratulations!

[@sherylbogardus3062]

That has got to be the best birthday present ever! Well-deserved is a complete understatement. The adjustment to altitude, getting over the stomach bug, and the countless adjustments and challenges that we as viewers didn’t see. Phenomenal woman, tremendous tremendous athlete, fantastic performance, awesome, grounded, humble yet confident human being. And now the accomplishment of becoming world champion added on top with the fastest swim-bike-run!! I mean! Utterly unstoppable. Reece and Lucy - thanks for taking us along. Congrats to you both, your team, and to your family. Way to work hard day in and day out to get here.

[@135Patriots]

You smashed it Lucy. So well deserved!

[@DavidFritzIII]

Absolutely inspiring. You are so correct, there is no such thing as natural talent, what people on the outside mark as natural talent is for an athlete an unbelievable desire to push the limits and work harder than anyone these people can comprehend. Amazing work!

Big congrats, what a year you're having. The training is paying off.

[@jfm1737]
