Hi Lucy! My wife and I are age-group IM athletes and have been following your ascendency. Barbara just commented, “Lucy is such an inspiration; her placing first at Kona is a validation that consistency and hard work pays off.” Barbara’s goal is to qualify for Kona, so thank you for role modelling excellence as well as niceness. (And we love your dogs!)

Congrats Lucy! You’re an unwavering example to keep working towards our dreams. Come to Ironman Japan!

Everything has been said and there are no words or superlatives left for you LCB. Would love to see you at North Norfolk Triathlon in the future, if they ever run it again

That red bull print is so good! Love to watch you race Ironman Austria and red bull would love it too I’m sure

"A bit of inspiration", haha girl you are the most inspiring person I know of! My sister and niece literally has a saying about you that they say whenever she struggles with something along the lines of: "What do we do when it's hard?" and she will answer "Do like Lucy Charles-Barclay!" It's the most adorable thing in the world and I really hope you know how much of an impact you've made with your amazing story of resillience!

This was fun to see...especially Lucy getting down with a slice of pizza in a gorgeous dress! Reece looks so happy and proud. What a well deserved celebration! 🎉 ❤

Congrats Lucy and the team! Loved seeing you at the KASK event. Come to Ironman Taiwan!

Well Done Lucy! we cant wait to have you return to South Africa and the Walker Bay Tri! We love you :) you are a true legend!

It's not just our bosten terriers Rudy & Villy (nickname Villy van de Bommel) who congratulate you on your success! We wish you everything a champion needs for 2024 too

You are an example, so much inspiration! Hope to see you race or train in the UK very soon! Keep up those videos, love being involved in your journey!

Congratulations on your win Lucy! You so deserved it! I did my first half Ironman this year and I can truly say you’ve been one of my biggest inspirations for getting into triathlons! Thank you for always bringing humility to the sport - you have such an incredible personality that sets you apart from most. Hope to see you race in South Africa next year 🇿🇦.

Really enjoyed the video, so inspiring! Would love to see you racing IM 70.3 Kraichgau again. I live nearby but didn’t expect you racing there last year because of your last minute entry. Please come back here!🧜🏼‍♀️🧜🏼‍♀️🧜🏼‍♀️

Congratulations Lucy!!! Tempe, Arizona USA! It’ll be my first full Ironman!

It’s so nice seeing this side of a pro athlete’s life ❤ I think a bit part of your success is being able to embrace and enjoy the downtimes and not worry about “missed training” to allow the body and mind to reset 😊

Congratulations Lucy!!! You truly are an inspiration to all of us! To be honest, I would love to have you back in the USA racing! Texas again 👍🏼👍🏼

Hi Lucy, massive congratulations on your amazing and hard earned win🎉 I've been following your videos for a while and they are just brilliant, your determination and spirit always shines through. I wish you and your family a wonderful Christmas and a restful New year... Until your training starts again. Take care and enjoy your amazing achievement's.😊

My wife and her tri club ,RC Coaching, in Malaysia love you. You inspire so many of them. Would love to see you race in Langkawi in 2024.

Love you Lucy! You’re an inspiration to all us youngsters! I think you’ll do really well at Ironman Alpe d’Huez!

You’re a huge inspiration! I am an age grouper for standard distance but also am Race Director for Harwich Sprint Triathlon. This year is the first year I am also organising Harwich Junior Triathlon! So to answer your give-away question… i would LOVE to see you at Harwich Triathlon! You’d be a huge inspiration to so many of the juniors (and adults) taking part in their first every triathlon! It would be an honour to have you there ⭐️

Hey Lucy. I’m an older beginning triathlete. I adore watching your channel, have learned a ton and learned that I am Not alone in stressing through injuries. I was a long time marathoner. I switched to tri last year for a new challenge as I turn senior GM. I WOULD ADORE one of your jerseys as inspiration as I attempt to go from Marathoner to Ironman as a senior

Lucy...would love to see you in Boulder CO for 70.3! 🎉 Congratulations and happy to see you and Reece relishing the moment. (My sons name is Rhys...😊) best wishes for a happy, healthy and hella-fast 2024.

Congratulations, Lucy! I'd love to see you racing IM 70.3 Kraichgau!

Congratulations Lucy!! My husband and I would love to see you race at The Woodlands in 2024. We will be there! Can’t wait to see you ❤️

congratulations on such an inspirational and so well deserved win. you are truly someone I look up to greatly not only as an athlete but also as a young woman. I raced in Kona this year as well and screamed for you as often as I could on the bike course! cannot wait to see you dominate the PTO tour and I hope to see you at the PTO US Open wherever they announce it will be!

Congratulations on your well deserved win - what a way to do it!! Your resilience and attitude is so inspirational. Love that you always talk about the ‘team’! I’d love to see you do Ironman Wales - the support would blow you away

Congratulations Lucy! You’re a huge inspiration to all of us. Thanks for your amazing videos. Really hope to see you race in Canada soon, my home country!

Congratulations Lucy! No one is more deserving of a Kona win than you! Selfishly I would love to see you in Tempe, AZ here in the states next November because my husband will be racing his first full Ironman! He had the chance to see you race a few years back in Utah at the 70.3 championships but I still haven’t gotten to see you race in person. Looking forward to following along in 2024🎉🎉🎉

Couldn’t be happier for you Lucy (and TCB!), congratulations!!! Been following your journey for years now and can’t describe how much you’ve inspired me on my own IM journey. I would lose my mind if you ever raced in Edmonton Canada (if the PTO Tour comes back again), but of course, can’t wait to watch you smash it in Nice this year and defend your title. Love love love and congrats again 🙏🏻🩷🎉

Congratulations Lucy ! it was great to see you celebrate after so much hard work ! I would love to see you race and grace Wales x

Amazing journey Lucy!! Outstanding patience, perseverance and hard work. You deserve it, so don't stop celebrating! Love from Australia! 🌻🥳🥳🥳

Literally anywhere!! Such an inspiration to us all and I can’t wait to see more from you, wherever you race 🥇

Thanks for being such an inspiration during my first season as a triathlete. You've given me motivation and strength to carry on as the training blocks became harder. It would be amazing to see you race in Ironman Lanzarote, your second home :) Following you for this past year and a half has been so exciting and I am so happy for all your achievements, especially the super well deserved World Championship! I spent 9 hours watching KZread live, rooting for you. You are a superstar x

Lucy, Reece, and team! Congratulations on this milestone! I've been following your journey for a while now, and it's great to see you clinch the win. I've always respected the way you focused on the process more than on the result itself. And you're right - in sport and life, it's easy to skip the celebration and move on to the next thing. Glad you savored it. I'd love to see you out at Challenge Madrid! Greetings from Europe!

Huge congratulations Lucy and Reece. Absolutely inspirational, and what a journey you have been on, you have even inspired me to sign up for my very first IM event next year! I'd personally love to see a homecoming race. You have travelled (and conquered) the world in this sport. It would be amazing to see you come back to the UK (or even Hertfordshire) to do an event... back where it all began! Hope the injury isn't holding you back too much, looking forward to seeing what 2024 brings 😊

Congratulations Lucy! You are so inspiring and has motivated me to start triathlon and train for my first ever half ironman. I would love to see you race in Nice, France in June before you eventually come back in September to win your second Ironman World Championship. Cheers from France

Dear Lucy! Congrats on finally placing first in Kona and absolutely smashing it after so many roadblocks on the way! I‘d love to see you race in Austria sometime since I saw your hip injury rehab video here at the Fuschlsee, I think you‘d love all the landscape Austria has to offer. But first I‘d love to see you win the Ironman World Championship next year once more! I‘m sure you would crush your time once again with all that training dedication you‘ve got! Whatever you decide to do, I‘m sure you will absolutely succeed at it, your body is so strong and your mind even stronger. Lots of love and greetings, thanks for inspiring us all! I‘d be so grateful to win one of your Kona jerseys since I‘ve been following your journey for a long time now and even watched you winning Kona live this year, which I may have shed a few tears haha. Lots of love!

Been watching SPOTY for 60 years but didn't bother this year for several reasons, to overlook you was scandalous. Your achievement at Kona was the sporting achievement of the year.😊

Been following your highs lows and high again for ages,bloody awesome work there girl,so glad your sponsors stuck with you 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

I've been loving your videos and story telling Lucy. Your strength and mindset in coming back from injury have really helped me recover and get back to it after my own. Keep going! Such a deserved win in Kona. I would love to see you racing in the UK.

You are such a warrior! I’ve been in this sport for 20 years and the last 5-10 I’ve been riddled with injuries. Watching your journey on the run at IMWC was such an inspiration to me. Thank you for inspiring girls and women of all ages, and being a model of kindness, dignity, humility and grace. Please come to the U.S. to race this year! Would love to see you dominate out at one of the tougher courses, like IM Lake Placid or the St. George 70.3. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and enjoy your last weeks of off-season. ❤️

Huge congratulations, Lucy! What an incredible achievement for you and your team. It’s been a delight to watch your journey here on KZread over the past few years and I can’t wait to see what you do next! Personally, I’d love to see you come and race in New Zealand at the 70.3 world championships in Taupo. It’s such a beautiful course and I think you’d love the kiwi hospitality 😊

I’m a huge fan of yours Lucy! Congratulations on the well-deserved win, and for executing such a memorable and exciting race (from the spectator perspective). I hope you celebrate this accomplishment this holiday and I can’t wait to see you race next year in Ibiza at the European PTO open!

Great Video! Huge congratulations to you and all your team! Race anywhere you want because you are the World Champion.

Congrats Lucy!! You’re such an inspiration to me and women in triathlon! Love to see you race on South or Central America next year!🎉

Congratulations Lucy CB - very much a well deserved win. Love your focus, sharing your pro knowledge and your genuine nature - thank you for taking us with you! I’d love to see you at Busselton Western Australia Ironman this coming year!

Very well deserved! Thanks for keeping this channel busy and updated. A great little motivation tool. I would love to cheer you along at IM Wales as I'll be there supporting a friend with our two dogs in tow. They'd give you a woof-woof too, no doubt!

Cracking, hope you and Reece had a fabulous Christmas and New Year!

Well done all around Lucy! So lovely to see the support and celebration around you, I hope you feel so cared for! I’d love to see you race in the States in Wisconsin!

Greetings from Bulgaria! You are such an Inspiration for me - although I’m not coming from sports, i want to do more and I was very excited and proud to see you never surrender and finally get your well-deserved win in Kona! What a 2023! Finishing Triathlon is the best thing to happen to a person.. so I wish you could go to the place where you finished your very first one and rewind how it started vs how it’s going now that you are a World Champion 🎉

A Massive Congrats to you and the team! I absolutely loved seeing how your crew got to share in the post crowning celebrations with you. I do think that a trip to the Southern Hemisphere, in preparation for World Champs in December would be in order, and nowhere better for a great start to 2024, than Sunny South Africa for sure. Well done again and hope to see you this side.

Lucy ! You rock ! You are the triathlon SMILE ! I would love to see you in France !! 😍

❤ First of all, Congratulations to you again, it was an absolute fantastic performance!!!!! Also, thank you for the video, enjoyed watching it. :) Holy is doing a great job as well!! I would love to see you racing in Boulder CO in June. It’s an IM 70.3 race, I’ve signed up to that race as well and I’m coming back from a hamstring injury, so it is an important race, because of a future plan. So I’m hoping to get back stronger than I was before. You’re an inspiration, good luck in the future and I can’t wait to see you in a race someday. ❤

Congrats Lucy! It was so amazing to be able to be on the course with you this year for my first Kona. You’ve been such an inspiration to those in those in this sport and I can’t wait to see what 2024 brings you! You’ve proven then consistently and being patient really pays off. You deserve all the celebrating after an incredible performance in 2023! Best of luck racing next year….would love to see you at some US races :)🎉

Dear Lucy, so happy for you and Reece! I’m an age grouper and you’re an inspiration for me and I can guarantee to a lot of us age groupers. Thank you for your sharing and I wish you a Wonderful Christmas a Happy New Year! Oh, and you should definitely come race in Portugal Cascais!

I have been swimming since age 5, so seeing you do triathlon with a swimming background has been inspiring for me to try bike and run. I would like to see you defend your world champion title and wish you an injury free 2024!🏆🧜🏼‍♀️

Such a fun video and well deserved Lucy and team! Come race Boulder 70.3!!! We would love to see you in Colorado!❤ Enjoy it all!

Congratulations Lucy!!! It was a quite a long journey to be the best in the world!!! Following you since 2019!! You triathlon career is really great movie scenario 😊 great job’s been done with all raises and falls!! Totally happy for you and Rease!! Wish you fast recovery and all good luck in 2024, hopefully to see you on PTO US Open race crossing the finish line first!!

You're an inspiration for all female (and male) athletes out there! Thank you for sharing your story with the world - the ups and the downs. Congrats on the huge win this year! So special to be able to accompany you to the end. I'd love to see your race Oceanside this coming year so that we can cheer you on in person! 🎉

Lucy, I loved this video and your channel! I started triathlon this past year, racing with my university club team. I’m absolutely loving it, and I’ve been so inspired by you for years. My dad and I watched the entire Kona race together and were so stoked for you! I’d love to see you racing in Nice in 2024 🫶

Congratulations, Lucy! I was running out of T2 a few minutes before you finished in Kona and was so thrilled for you it made the first few miles fly by! I would love to see you race 70.3 Michigan next year! It's a gorgeous course and fantastic town and community :)

Congratulations, Lucy, and everyone at Red Bull, it takes a village to get someone to the top, and Lucy you have one hell of a village, supporting you not to mention everyone around the world, including myself. I hope that you will still be racing, especially in Kona, 2025, as I will be turning 60 that year, I have been racing triathlon since I was 19 years old, and I've never done a full Iron Man not to mention Kona, which is hallowed ground. But I am so inspired by you and your team. Your videos are awesome. Kudos to your videographer and once again congratulations Lucy, you deserve to celebrate and enjoy every moment of your victory ❤️ 🧜‍♀️ 👍 👏

Congratulations Lucy, your win is the best one I have ever seen!! Such an inspiration. There is a new Ironman 70.3 in the Czech Republic, it probably is not like the races you have done, i don't even think there will be many Pros but I would love to see you there and meet you in person. Greetings and congratulations from the Czech Republic ❤

Been following you progress in past few years. Really happy you finally won Kona. Congratulations

Congratulations! Was so Stoked to see you cross the line!!! So much support from other triathletes I know as well. We would love to have you back in South Africa for a 70.3 Mosselbay next year November.

Huge congratulations Lucy! So good to see you celebrating and enjoying your monumental win. I'd love to see you racing Challenge Roth next year. Happy training

Lucy, you have been an inspiration to me and my daughter. Thank you for featuring little girls on your social. She was featured and it meant SO much! We’d love to see you race wherever you want to race! Being an athlete and a woman is empowering so fly where you WANT to fly!

Congratulations Lucy 🎊. Well deserved. I have been following your journey since 2020. You mettle is praiseworthy. Would love to see you race in IM 70.3 Taupō in New Zealand ❤🎉

So well deserved. So happy to see you are enjoying life after winning the most well deserved world championship

Dear Lucy, Congratulations 🎉❤😅 to you! I’ve been following your journey since 2018 when I attempted my first ironman as a 45yr old female. Hope you fully recover from your injuries. I think you should end your season next November with Vinfast Phu Quoc in Vietnam!

Well done Lucy, you are truly an inspiration. Many many congratulations on your World Championship win at Kona.

Congratulations on your win Lucy! Great to see the hard work pay off and it has been inspiring to see how well you have coped with the challenge of injuries over the past couple of years. It would be so cool to see you do the Aberfeldy middle distance (70.3) triathlon up in Scotland, colder than your usual events but the scenery is amazing!

Thanks for being such an open and honest athlete in our sport. I saw you on in Kona in 2022 heading in to take 2nd place with such a gutsy performance after a challenging year that it inspired me to push to finish a not so pretty day on the island myself that day. Your win in 2023 is a testament to the core of being a champion, its about showing up , doing the work you love and believing in yourself.

Congratulations Lucy! Couldn’t be happier for a person I don’t know in person! You deserved that win, your hard work paid off! Next year I will be doing my first Ironman in Texas, so it would be nice to see you there!

It was great to see you take the win in Kona after so many second places, a true show of perseverance! I'd love to see you race in New Zealand next year at 70.3 world champs!

It is so amazing to see you accomplish this goal. I have been watching this channel from the beginning and its so moving to see your unrelenting dedication to the sport pay off. I would love to see race in the olympics next year! I know the distance is shorter but you can do anything you put ypur mind too. It would be an incredible challenge and experience

Hi Lucy, wow congrats for all your accomplishments ! I follow your journey since 2017 when you did your first IM world championship as a pro, I was 12 and I was on the Big Island too ^^, for the 2024 season I would love to see you compete in France in Nice for the IM world championship of course !! I would love to see you doing the race of Port Elizabeth in South Africa, or the Chalenge Roth in Germany. Thank you for all the excitement you gave to us during the race, you deserve that title !

Congratulations Lucy on your Amazing win at Kona 🏆. You are a HUGE inspiration to me and my sister and I would love if you came down to race in Australia.

Congratulations Lucy!!! I raced in Kona as an age grouper this year and seeing you fly by leading the race on the Queen K was something I’ll never forget!! You have always been an inspiration and I can’t wait to follow along wherever you choose to race next year! (Nice though please 👑)

Queen Consort Lucy & Duke of Nothing Ham Reece are back !!! a fantastic winning year of 2024 are the whishes of all The Community !!!

Congratulations, so excited for you! I would love to see you do more local/casual races like you have shown doing with your family before. I know they aren't as glamorous but the content is fun and we love seeing Holly and your other family members ❤

Hey team Charles-Barclay , massive congratulations Lucy on your World Championship. Come train in Noosa Australia and race any of the IM in Oz Cairns , Port Macquarie or do a Fenella and race Western Australia. I’m a originally from Hertfordshire and emigrated out here so happy to show you around !

Well deserved win and an inspiration to all. The determination to succeed speak volumes to many generations to come. Congratulations!! Come to Challenge Wanaka in February and IM Taupo after. New Zealand deserves your presence!!

Congrats! You are an inspiration to my daughters who are just getting into triathlons . Congrats again. Well deserved.

You are a beast! Massive congrats on finally stepping on top of the podium. A very well deserved win 🎉 I’d love to see you race in Spain!! Enjoy your time off before another amazing season ahead

Congratulations! I have been following your journey since 2020 and have been telling my family about you since then! I was glued to your Kona win! So inspirational…would love to see you at a North American PTO race in 2024!

CONGRATULATIONS!! My family and I are huge fans and have been following you for a while now! This win was so deserved and you should be so proud!! I would love to see you racing in the USA again... Maybe Wilmington, NC in 2024?

Congratulations Lucy. I keep showing my daughters your journey. Thank you! I'd love to see you race somewhere close to Michigan.

Congrats, Lucy! I've really enjoyed watching your journey the past few years. If you're looking for something different for a triathlon, come do the Monarch Tri in Kingman AZ - it's a SuperHalf (1/2 mi swim, 44 mi bike over Union Pass & 6.7 mi run). The triathlon represents the rebirth of women who have battled cancer.

Huge congrats on your win at Kona. I got quite teary watching you cross the line, so well deserved. Would be great to see you race at Ironman New Zealand.

Congratulations dear Lucy! You are such an inspiration to all of us! Wishing you strength, health and all the best in the future, with many more victories!🏆Well, I would love to see you in the IRONMAN 70.3 Vouliagmeni, Greece at 20/10/24. Many hugs❤

Hi Lucy!!! Congrats once again on you Kona Win!! Very well deserved! Come Race Ironamn Texas in April 2024!!! You have a lot of fas here!!! Me an a few friends were part of your TCB with Kollektiv... and we will love to see you racimg here! We well be racing too!

Hi Lucy! I’ve been watching your RACING for a few years now and was literally glued to the tele during your last Ironman. What a fantastic race!!! I would love to see you race on the west coast (anywhere) in 2024. I’ve been swimming and biking and your journey to the “win” is motivating me to start running again :). Congratulations!!

Super happy to see you celebrating it to the max! I even cried when you finished 1st~! 😭😀👍 I love to see you race, St George 70.3 World Championship again. I love this course and love to watch you race again! You are my super inspirational star!!!

Congratulations Lucy! You’re a huge inspiration. Thanks for your amazing videos. Would love to see you in sunny South Africa

Congratulations Lucy!! I’ve been following your journey for a few years now, and am so happy for your achievement!! 🎉 Hope to see you race in Singapore again in 2024!!

Huge congrats! Glad you’re celebrating well and enjoying the win 🙌🏻 Come Race at Oceanside!

Hard work and not quitting always pays off. Congrstulations Lucy and the whole team, doing this alone would be impossible, so glad you found a great group of people and brands that supports you all the way. I'll watch you race on every place you choose, so keep going strong and enyoing the journey. Your passion gets through even by the internet. Cheers.

Congratulations Lucy. I bumped into you at Alton Towers after there 10km race and congratulated you on being 70.3 world champion. This one was only a matter of time before it happened with such dedication shown to your craft. Can't think of anyone who deserves this more the time and effort you have put into getting there. Nobody can ever take it from you now. You can always sign your name as Ironman World Champion. If I had to choose somewhere to see you race it would be Ironman Wales. Purely selfish reasons. I have never spectated a triathlon but would love to see you in the UK racing one.

Congrats Lucy! That is a well-deserved break and I hope you will come back with a stronger performance next year. It will be a great inspiration to see you racing in Asia and I would love to see you at the PTO Asia Open in the future.

Congratulations!! Some amazingly well deserved celebrations!!! Would love to see you in Taupo, New Zealand!

Congratulations Lucy!! So exciting indeed! Thanks for sharing a bit of your celebration 😄 I would love to see you come to the US again! I’ll be racing in the Ironman 70.3 in North Carolina, so selfishly, I want you there 😆
