I can't thank you enough for this video! I'm heading to Lahti for the 70.3 WC next week and it is so comforting to have a preview of the area and race! You handled the bike fiasco so well! Congratulations and good luck on your next race!

Congrats Laura! What a great race after all drama with your bike. I think this proves you do perform well under stress! 😀

I was very shocked haha! But yes stress and pressure seems to work for me 😂 although, I hoping not to repeat that bike drama ever again!!

The mind was clearly over loaded when you got to the race belt. Just loosen the toggles in front of the number they're not usually tight against the belt. Talk about a stressful lead in to a race 🙈 but what a fantastic result. That bike/run was brilliant 💪💪

Hahahha not to be dramatic or anything 💇🏼‍♀️ thanks so much, it really was mad. Never again 😂

That is an amazing result, especially considering the week leading up to it 👏 and taking advantage of the rain is the perfect time to wee on the bike 😅

Thanks!! I will 😊😊

Lost my bike in transit in Singapore airport, going to Ironman Western Australia. Delivered to me by taxi the next day, but with a bent rear derailleur hanger. Had to bike 34km using only gear to the nearest bikeshop.

Oh god, how stressful!!! Not what you want at all

do you pack your bike pump in your bike box or use gas cylinders. Well done btw

@laurabardsley6205

I take both. You're not allowed to pack cylinders in your bike box, they need to be in hand luggage

Is it the same course which 70.3 world champion is going to be happen.

I've heard it's slightly different, but I imagine it will be very similar in terms of road surface and gradient. It's pretty flat around there!

Can you please tell me what watch you're using.
