Winning or not, especially being so honest, leaves always just massive respect, inspiration, and humble appreciation. 🙌 PS - any chance you might be able to link the Hoka jacket you are wearing, please, if it's available to us, mere mortals ☺️ Thank you.... and Biltong oh yeah 🙌

Thank you @cosmicpuma for you touching words. Let me get back to you on the Hoka jacket...

For many people you are the GOAT for women’s medium/long distance triathlon. You not only dominated women’s events but you also always beat many of the male pros. I remember 5/6 years ago doing an IM event in Zurich and you blew the field away. Given this is your last season I would really wish you focus on enjoying yourself and let the results be what they are. You have NOTHING to prove. Best wishes from Genf, CH.

Amazing recap! Heart of a champion! Well done for finishing!

Thank you so much @Michy.running

You are a Champion, our champion. It was such a privilege to share the race course with you and shout encouragement to you. You will forever be welcome here. I can’t wait till the next time. 🎉

We all know the struggles of a tough training day when seconds feel like minutes and there's simply no energy there. Having such a day during an Ironman and STILL finishing it blows my mind. The willpower required is massive, congrats Daniela 😊

Congrats on a finishing such a tough course and validating your slot in Nice! Safe travels, hope your injury heals well and quickly. Thanks so much for sharing!

it takes a lot to finish a full IronMan feeling pain. You are strong! it takes a lot of caracter to do that! good luck with the rest of the season :)

💖💖💖We definitely love you here in SA Daniela! Thank you for sharing your experiences and motivating us in daily life, not just in sport. The fact that you can go through such a long gruelling day knowing you have to push from early on is incredibl. Watching your videos and following your performances over the years got me through a lot of training so we appreciate this type of feedback we never had in previous years. Well done on finishing and I wish you all the best in your healing and future races my hero! 🎉 PS Biltong is awesome 😅

thank your feedback. glad you like the videos. I try to share some more insights this year as in pervious years being in a tunnel of focus i didn’t have the mental capacity to share them😅😊

Congratulations Daniela! Still a big achievement! and well deserved biltong! Wishing you a complete and speedy recovery. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Thank you @meyburgh ...and yes the biltong definitely felt like a great reward ;)

To be able finish the race in such tough conditions and when things are not going as planned without giving up is a huge achievement … that is the Champion’s mindset 🙌

Always like that you respect the race enough to finish. I remember running with you Kona 2019 on a tough day when you finished and others like Rinnie DNF'd.

Class act! Thanks for your honesty. Your encouragement of others in the race is a class act.

I love your videos. They are informative, motivating and show the wonderful spirit of triathlon. All the hard work you and all other triathletes put in day by day cannot always be shown on raceday…but I am sure after a speed recovery…YOU Will be back! Well made videos…thank you for those…and please continue with them until your last dance!

thanks 🙏 Glad you like them and happy to finally share some of my insights with you in my last year 😊

Best for good news on the hip evaluation and a full (quick) recovery so you can train the way you want to perform at your best💪! Congrats on your validation.

One of these days, but a walk with love of the fans - and Nice in the bag. Looks like a 2:1 win! All the best for the further season - and thanks for sharing! 😊👋

Such a.class act! Always a champion mindset

You got this Daniela! Wow, the sea does look very rough!

The videos are great! Thank you for sharing it with us! Enjoy the biltong and thank you for choosing South Africa to race in! Hoping the injury is not too serious 💪🏼 Wishing you all the best for the rest of the season!!

Daniela, you have nothing to prove to anybody at this point. It's pure joy to still watch you doing what you love with the same energy and passion you have shown throughout your successful career. I remember you winning 70.3 Gdynia, Poland in 2018 and getting a high-five from you at the finish line was so great!!!! Wishing you all the best and I'm pretty sure you are still going to win some. Take care!

You finished. You validated for Nice. Well done. Love your videos.

It was an honour to shout for you this past Sunday. Was there in 2017 as well. Really do hope you return again... Plenty of biltong shops I can introduce you to! (Stellenbosch has a few hidden biltong gems) I shared a house with Emma B this weekend and she mentioned your glute/hammy. Hope you recover and kick a** at the PTO and Nice!

thanks 😊 Yes bilton from SA are amazing 🤩

Fantastic to hear that by finishing you were able to validate for Nice. Really sorry to hear the race didn’t go to plan of course but at least you didn’t seem to aggravate the injury and make it worse. Best wishes for a full recovery in good time and that you will have enough time to train for the World Championships🤞

Dear editor. It's hard to hear her due to really loud music that dosent match the vibe of the video. The Angry Bird will be back and show her feathers as this season goes on.

Any ideas about the music in the background? It sounds nice.

this has been already decided yes. This is my last season and it feels it is the right decision😁 Fingers crossed to get back fully healthy soon as my body was struggling recently. But i still believe i got one more strong performance in me this year😊💪🏼

I suggest...Walk away from social media and take your life back !!!!!
