Heres a thought, do a team triathlon against mark. Heather swim, manon ride, james run. That would be interesting

Thats a great idea- GTN

I love it when GTN includes the GCN presenters in their videos! Especially enjoy watch Heather and Manon do challenges together! More of this please 😊

Massive kudos to Manon for doing this! And Heather is always just amazing, respect to you both!

I like the Challenges that Manon gets into. She is such an inspiration to get us out of our comfort zone. Great Video

Would love to see GTN vs GCN vs GMBN (co-ed) team relays! Maybe even Xterra style to throw in an extra little spice. Would be interesting to see who each team selected for each leg, maybe Heather vs Conor vs Blake swim, James vs Manon vs Anna bike and Mark vs Hank vs Rich or Isaac? 👍🏻👍🏻

Make it a dual header first event they do their preferred event second time they can not do their preferred event and it is combined time for both events that determines the winner.

Thanks for adding some duathlon content every so often for us "dryathletes". Running twice is no joke. LOL

Much respect to Manon! Would love to see a series, GTN trains GCN (Hank and Manon perhaps?) for a triathlon? Challenge London 70.3 now that's on the calendar?

That was excellent! Way to go Manon! “Cheating legs” was hilarious! Can’t wait to see some payback 😂

I love how Global *Pick-a-Sport* Network loves to run Manon to the ground with every challenge. She is such a champ!

When I was a junior, I was racing at an international level. One time, I entered a triathlon just for fun, cause I thought I might do well due to my TT skills. I nearly drowned in the swim! It was so tough that I swam to the side, so just my head would be above the water and I pretended to swim, while just walking. With the TT I caught a ton of people, but it only brought me halfway through the field. Then in the run I got destroyed again! Such a different kind of suffering! Never tried it again. I did enter it as a team though, were I had friends running and swimming and I did the TT. Hats of to those guys who train so many different sports.

Great to see Manon out of her comfort zone. Time for Manon to take on a 6 - 12 week TRI training course with GTN

I like the sound of this

would love to see you two do a long distance cycling challenge together sometime! GCN frequently has male presenters do them :)

Great job, both Heather and Manon! I love these videos. I appreciate Manon getting out of her comfort zone.

Manon just rolled up in a "normal looking" road bike LOL. great job you two!!!

Oy, my dudettes. Heather's running was unstoppable! Her form is a joy to watch.

Heather: “it’s warmed up a little outside …” wearing a winter jacket.

It was interesting to see how much higher RPM Manon was riding than Heather. Plus, the time trial bike was not a big advantage here, because the road was very winding. There was a corner where Heather had already rolled while Mannon kept pedaling. Go for it girls :-)

When Manon did the drafting i had to giggle a bit, classic. When Heather started running it look liked the terminator T-2000 was on the hunt again.

The sound fx when Heather run pass Manon... 🤣. Both girls are amazing. Manon managed to close the gap on the bike, and Heather easily close the gap while running..both are build different you can see it. Nice Kit btw ladies..😍

Massive kudos to manon, what a trooper, heather that was a wee bit cheeky of you 😂🤭

Manon has such a great sport spirit. Just pushed through the pain.

It’s easy enough to look at a bike run bike with the relative distances making up for the relative speeds of Manon & Heather, and I love the idea of a velodrome ride for heather, maybe a handicapped pursuit race?

Definitely want to see Manon vs Heather in an Aquabike. I've heard Manon is a pretty good swimmer.

Nice to see Manon on this channel again. Well done girls!

Manon is a champion! Super effort. Heather, need to see you test your bike legs more.

Love seeing the ladies competing!! But who to root for... I love you both 😀👍

You should do a bike run bike version, see how much a difference that would make to the end result

Thank you Manon. That was great. Just remember, Heather is a machine. No one can beat her on anything, other than a short sprint.

Good job Manon 💪 I hope Mark or James gonna get Hank n Blake try real duathlon race 🙏 also to Manon's question "why cant it be bike-run-bike?" Actually it can, depending on the race organizer doing the weird format. I had 1 race in that format 😂

I have great satisfaction seeing a road bike pass a TT bike!! Loved seeing her out there giving her all.

GCN vs GMBN vs GTN 5k Run -> 15k Cycling in the pavement -> 3k Run -> 6k XC riding -> 3k run That would be absolutely epic.

Duathlon should be just that... bike/run or run/bike, each discipline just once.

Cannot wait to watch this one. I love every challenge that involves Heather ever since that un- fueled iron man. Women may not be quicker than men, but they are just so tough!

Always in love to see Manon in this series.

Relay ladies triathlon next with GTN-GMBN and GCN would be fantastic

Yeah, Manon go! Massive kudos!

I’m in love with these two even just for their accent 😍

Love to see a men's version of this. Wout vs Lionel

Great to see Manon sporting a GTN kit.

Good job, Manon. Yes, she's a trooper.

Great challenge there ladies!! GTN needs to do a GTN men vs GCN men now?? Think Manon needs to bring Heather on a Gravel ride…. 🤔 That’ll soften Heather’s cough 😉😉

AQUA BIKE You are both amazing. I always enjoy the content.

How about coaching Manon to a Sprint Tri? Great vid guys.

Love these two!

Very entertaining, congrats to Heaher and kudos to Manon for being a good sport. Hey Heather perhaps Manon deserves that sharp GTN kit?

I really like all the channel presenter crossovers lately! Next we need Blake Samson swimming!

Lovely stuff ladies. You're such great sports!!!

you are both my favorite members of gcn and gtn respectively, love this lil mini series!

A challenge consisting of a bike run bike format would be interesting to watch.

Time for Manon to take Heather to the velodrome…

Fair play to Manon! Though most of the duathlons I’ve seen (at least in the US and Canada) have the shorter run first, and the longer run after the bike.

I’d like for them to do a legitimate challenge with the same equipment with exception to the running shoes or color of kit. Otherwise these challenges are silly, proving that outspending gives an advantage.

Gotta say, Manons a great sport for doing these, but dare I say drafting? 😂 Well done to both for giving us such great entertainment over the series.

LETS' GO MANON!! you can do this

The TT bike was unnecessary 😢 Manon is not a runner Go Manon! ❤❤

Did Manon, said “oh God”?.. I felt what she was experiencing while doing this challenge..

lol this was unfair from the get go 😂

Manon, you should have thrown Heather's running shoes over the fence when you came in on the bike.

Maybe Manon could do an instructional on setting up a TT bike or being more efficient on the bike to save energy, even fueling while riding is something that anyone can learn from.

Manon looks like me after my first Du!! My legs failed on my second run too 😂

next you have to race Manon up ADZ!!

Maybe a swim-run? Or perhaps take Heather to the bike oval?

Manon needs to take Heather on a gnarly gravel bike ride!

Be creative to lure Manon back for another event, Heather! Manon says, "fool me once, fool me twice" 😀👍

You 2 young ladies are awesome love tosee you two do a 2 up two time trail ??

I think your both in your comfort zone,I’d have you go to a bike park and ride a MTB trail.

HHHMMM... What if now Heather faces Manon in the velodrome???...

Time for Manon to get Heather on the velodrome

What I have learned about Duathlon: Ride for show, run for dough.

Should get Si to do one of these. I think he is the fittest in the team..

Such a good sport, Manon! Heather is used to both sports...that had to be brutal!

Awesome guys, WTG Manon!!! And Heather 🎉

Manon, Heather, thanks for taking part on such unscientific tests. I really thought that Manon would win thanks ti drafting... Oh well. Your both more capable than most of us.

Here’s a thought: how about giving Manon 6-8 weeks notice and setting the course at 1 lap (1.5km) run, 6 lap bike, 1 lap run well in advance, so perhaps … she could actually prepare … I’ve heard that … check notes … there is this thing called ‘training’ that can actually work … ;)

4:03 Manon is a consummate roadie - moves straight into the draft, even on the run. 🥵

Ride run ride is the obvious choice I think. As I triathlete, at least you have riding experience. Cyclists don't usually run much so I think it would even the playing field

Way to go ladies. I agree with one post. Do a bike run bike. Never knew drafting was legal in Duathlon. LOL. Next Manon and Heather at the track. Cheers

Or, drafting was legal and Heather was on an illegal bike ;-)

If you can not run 5 miles in 40 minutes the SAS do not consider you to be even averagely fit for a civilian. The BFT run for a soldier is a mile and a half run in about ten minutes with another mile and a half run at your best personal effort with someone 3p years old being expected to do the second mile and a half in less than ten minutes.

Manon, you're a beast!

Hasn't Richie from GCN auf Deutsch been doing some Triathlon training? That could make for a fun collab in the future:)

Great vidro and top effort from Heather and Manon - when Manon knew that Heather would have the advantage on the run why did Manon sit on Heather's wheel during the bike and not push to build an advantage going into the final run? 🤔 Was Manon at max effort on the bike? Or was it self-preservation?

Manon is a Rock Star, but Heather is an Absolute Weapon! ❤

Manon, invite Heather for a crit race or on the indoor bike track! I would love to see that!!!

Maybe next time they can put in some hill on the bike section to make it a bit more interesting!

a bike challenge would be fun: indoor super fast, road flat and mountain up for the end.

The obvious other challenge to pit Heather against Manon would be to go to a velodrome and have a go at some of the track cycling events . . .

Manon deserves a cycling rematch……or a wine off😊

If I remeber did'nt Hank want to do a Ironman. Love Manon for giving it ago, wathching the run mechanics from Heather and Manon was claer to see

This gtn lady had an unfair advantage, this was not fair at all.

Heather is just so cool

This was an easy one to call without having to watch the video. Triathletes are proficient in cycling and running, whereas if you only ride bikes and never run, you're not going to stand a chance. The difference between a fast cyclist and an average cyclist is around a minute per mile, whereas the difference between a fast runner and an average runner is more like 3 or 4 minutes per mile. A lot of people would think that cycling would help with running, but it's not true at all. I know plenty of A group cyclists who couldn't run a 9 minute mile.

running is all in the shock absorbtion capacities

I'm smelling an XTerra with some really tight bets, next. 😂

We really need to see the male GTN presenters do this. And we especially needs to seem them swim!

Agreeing to a competition before the rules are set is very brave or very foolish. Hi Manon, love you 😀👍

Fair play to Manon. For next time how about also having Ollie Bridgewood?

Lol, Heather can't stand the thought of loosing to Manon at all! 😂 I say, get a 3rd ironlady and enter a relay for the win!!! Go Girls!

How about a challenge on the bike track … standing start
