Awesome result. Raced the standard distance duathlon myself. Great race recap and hopefully see you on the start line for GB again.

Are you from Worthing ?

Well done mate! Smashed it. I remember racking next to you on the day. Very impressive times, keep it up 👍

Great result thanks for rocking the EZDisc

Well done Lewis 🎯

Awesome performance Lewis!

Congrats on your silver and second overall and on your first race for GB. The Europeans are usually a Brit fest unfortunately, but the whole experience is usually worth it. Worlds are more competitive from a multi nation uptake.

Awesome achievement, congrats! Sorry to hear you're still not feeling motivated. Have you thought about looking for other types of athletic challenges? I'm thinking of ultra running, gravel riding etc? No harm in exploring different kind of adventures and then return to triathlon once you've got the itch back for it!

Awesome on the PB. Smashed it 👌

Well - how has that 2nd place at EU champs helped your motivation? 😂

Yeah I second the comment about over thinking, and I say that from a place of understanding. Try to get your head straight about why you actually enjoy training and being fit af. It's not rocket science. It doesn't require the level of analysis you go into. It's simply about being a fing warrior and feeling awesome. If you can enter that mindset, like the stuff David goggins talks about, then the issues that arise from over thinking just disappeares. There's a great yt ch called fuel the mind, with a great playlist of goggins motivational speeches. Try it and see if you get back in the groove. 🤘

Best of luck to you!! Just saw you running across the bridge in Coimbra but didn’t get a chance to shout out. Be strong 💪!!

Hey Mate, from a random dude on the internet. Completely understand what your going through, this is normal in the cruel mistress that is triathlon. Don't let this get you down, this is just a small bump in the road of a already very successful tri journey. I've had some similar issues in the past and my advice to you would be, to take a step back from the sport. Go out for a run without a plan or a HR Monitor, go for a ride to a cafe and eat good cake, swim in the sea and just enjoy it. While you're doing this seek out physio's and bike fit specialists, but remember always stay positive. Trying to still smash in the sessions when your heads just not in it wont work. They will be other euros and big IM events to attend and smash mate. When I had a pretty low spell in the sport I took a massive step back and just surfed loads, I know you do as well so don't forget that. Give yourself a mental break by doing things like surfing and not being so focused on why sessions aren't going as you've planned. Hope this helps fella, keep your chin up and one day I'd love to race/train with you. 🤙

You're putting out great power and times so maybe you're overthinking it man. Progress over perfection, the pros are constantly changing their bike fit etc.

What about barefoot shoes for races (10k, marathons)?

I bought a pair of Altra Torin 7 and both shoes did break up un the upper, just by walking

Good effort. I used to get alot of stictches. I had to up my salt intake and it helped massively. I eat plenty of salt in the weeks lead up and then a few salt tablets on race day. Im a huge sweater 🙈

Brilliant effort. Everyone is different who suffers from stitch. I suffered for 10 years & got to the point where I couldn't eat or drink for 90mins pre race. I then started taking antacids at the end of the bike, which made me burp & helped a lot 😂. I've also found I'm better with a bit of solid nutrition in me. Basically fluid sloshing causes wind & stitch for me 🤷

Great video. First one I’ve watched. I’m racing in Portugal but the duathlon.

Well done mate great effort, i seen you last year talk about calf guards, what ones are you using now and have you seen a difference?

Awesome performance mate!

What's your saddle?

I get the same issue with a stitch/stomach cramps on brick runs. Sometimes I’m fine sometimes it’s really bad just can’t seem to figure it out.

But are you still landing on youre forefoot with the altra?

You smashed it! Well done, great seeing you out on course.

Hope you had fun, look forward to seeing the recap and what's next?

looking froward to the recap! Keep up the good work man. Great vid

You smashed the interview mate! Looking forward to the race video :D

Great summary. God made our feet to work beautifully just the way they are. With that said, there was no concrete or asphalt in the Garden of Eden so the extra bit of cushion from the Altra's helps. I run in both Vivo's and Altra's and use them as you have described. My observations are identical. One thing I will say is that if you buy the trail style runners from Vivo like the Primus Trail's (I have the SG sole on mine), the extra tread depth acts as extra cushioning and can be a hybrid between the Vivo Primus Lite and the Altra Escalante.

No idea about it but hope it doesnt hold you back 🙈

The region looks like a tibalis posterior tendon region. Get an urgent physio appointment, some hands on, consider taping and keep them fingers crossed. I will be at outlaw so hope you make it mate Will need to work on your S and C after

MTSS injury - overuse. I might be wrong. That'd be my guess. Id recommend a physio. Use a bread scraper to massage the muscle, reduce load. Strengthen with some heal lifts.

Your likely describing a tear with inflammation - at least for now. It could easily become a rupture without recovery and treatment. You're looking at 2-6 weeks recovery from a tear compared to 2-6 months recovery from a rupture.

TT bike is well worth the money , road it is not so much. Are bike fits in colorado are in the price range 250-400 dollars ,high end fit for racing is well worth it.

500 quid, and your foot still goes numb! Not worth it at all! I got mine for 150 on guru and after an hour worked really well!

Great video Lewis, I think you're right, £500 seems crazy money for a bike fit. I try and look at it like this "how much would you pay to cycle pain free" and that's probably more than £500. See you at Outlaw!

I do my road bike bike fit with them but when it comes to TT, I found either George Fox or MB were much more knowledgeable and had more specific experience.

A bike fit is always worth it. Amazing how good i feel on my bikes after being fitted.

You have some of the same symptoms as me but I'm hesitant to spend the money on a bike fit even though I know it'll be worth it!

hi. from Brazil here. do u think I can rent a road bike to take part this event in december?

What's the name of the music you're using in the vid? And will be interested in how the bike fit goes, I sometimes get hip issues on the bike which I'm trying to figure out.

mara-FON lol

Running on concrete / sidewalks with zero cushion doesn't work for me. If you think about it, it's not really a "natural" surface for humans.

You sum up the weather. Its just always bloody windy 🙈 Smashing that training 👌

Love it mate keep the vids coming!!

Cool honest review 👌🏻 I'm a giant trinity & propel owner. But also a specialized fan boy tbh. But same I went with the Trinity and propel, vs. The venge and transition at the time... because of price; because the spec version of similar bikes were 2,500 to 3,000 $ more in price but the transition when observed had a faulty fork/headset design that rubbed itself to crumble on its proprietary edges when turning the fork all the way to left/right for car fitment. Which seemed like a design fail on specs part. So I got the Trinity and never looked back. Upgraded from a Kestrel Talon TT bike, been happy ever since. wba. I don't feel the NEED to upgrade it, since everything I ride it, people say "nice NEW bike". And they are surprised when I tell them it's like 5 or 6 years old, really. It is at the higher echelon of tt tech IMHO, so I'm staying w it for many a year. Done.

Good job! I know everybody says helmets can vary with individual riders but your TT helmet in this vid is an exception to that rule: it's bad on everybody. If you get a budget TT helmet like an old LG rocket or Bell Javelin it's going to be a lot better than the helmet you have. Even a Giro Vanquish w/ visor will be better than the helmet in this vid.

6:20 sorry but its NOT primus lite, as stated in Strava :-)

Nice set up!! What’s your inseam and the saddle length from bb please?

are you finally doing your triathlon competitions in Vivobarefoot? :) hows your experience after years of doing it? and if you switched - which shoes are you using currently for each sport? youre super!
