Honestly, Conor. The limbs in the swim and the stride length. ;) That's as an absolute. The levers for a gentle 3.5km/h in the sploosh and mandables for marathon running if he trained for them... the guy can punch out Watts on a climb when trained up. But he also seems really aware of overcooking so for a measured overall effort...

Oo GMBN doing Xterra triathlon would be amazing. Could even get Hank in on that.

Duathlons are such an underrated event. For me, they're much easier to train for since I don't need to travel to a pool and only need to fit two sports worth of training into a week. Duathlons fit into a busy schedule and are a really simple way to motivate a cyclist like myself to run. Love them!

19:31 for a 5k for "non runners"!!! That's very impressive!! There are not that many people breaking the 20 min mark for a 5k. I guess their VO2Max is still quite high compared to the "normal" population. Congrats guys! Is there a way I can like this video 10 000 times so we can see Si do a triathlon? 😁

sub 4 minute pace on the first 5k....how did they run so fast with no training!? They have to do a triathlon now. At least a super-sprint event.

Could see from Si's running style the extra weight of the ankles hindered him...

Bugger, I did this event but was in the second wave starting at 09:30, if I'd known you guys were there I'd have arrived earlier to cheer you on. Pretty impressive running for cyclists, I think you'd do even better at a standard distance event, primarily because they're non drafting and you'd get maximum benefit from the bike leg.

@@gtn unfortunately not quite as well as I hoped, I wasn't quick enough in the first run to tag onto the guys in the V65-70 category who finished in front of me ☹️, however I did find myself with 3 guys as we formed a useful working group on the bike but even so we couldn't reel in the aforementioned leading group... On the second run I managed to get away from my immediate category competitors, eventually finishing 5th in category 🤷, possibly my worst category result, however there were more competitors out in my category than I'd expect to see so probably not too much of a shock, sadly. I suspect that won't qualify me for the European champs next year, but sadly British Triathlon have failed to let me know on that score, despite me registering my intent to qualify when I entered the event🤦. That reminds me I must chase them up... Do you publish a diary for the events you intend to compete in, especially when you do these challenges, if not wouldn't it be worth considering for the future?
