    Awesome that you were there supporting Stu! You did well to get down to the beach to capture the swim start! I was a finisher this past weekend and from my perspective the support was nuts. Heartbreak hill on the bike was out of this world!! The run course all the way out of Tenby was constant crowds, parties, beers and cheers. Truly epic, but you need it, its so dam brutal!

      I hope you had the race you wanted. It was epic supporting you all. The atmosphere as a supporter was amazing so I bet it gave you goosebumps as an athlete. This race is definitely on my bucket list now for sure. Even the sun came out this year, that's gotta be rare.

    Great vid Stu! Definitely got me thinking I may need to sign up, cross the pond, and take on the dragon...

      Thank you very much. Wales is epic although you can't be guaranteed this good weather every year. It's on my bucket list to do one year. I would recommend signing up for this one for sure 👌

    Enjoyed the video. What a day of racing. My first full distance and definitely won't be my last. IMW was amazing and the crowds and atmosphere were on another level.

      Thank you very much. I very much would recommend going to watch an ironman event. It's epic seeing everyone tackle there goals. And Wales put on an amazing spectacle. We even got decent weather for supporting 👌

    Great event and a cracking day. It's great being a spectator at these events. I was at Ironman Ireland 2 weeks ago and the atmosphere was great. 👌

      I can't believe the weather we got. Contrast to the carnage at Cork. Love seeing people smash there goals.

    Spent family holidays in Tenby for years. Not been in about twelve years. It's looking good. Time I went back. Beautiful beaches. Good look to you and your channel.

    • @SwimBikeRunStu

      Tenby is an amazing place. But even better when they have the ironman on. The whole town gets in to it. Don't think you'll regret going back for a visit 👌

      You are going to have such a good time next year. Everything about this event was awesome. I will be on hand for support duties 👌

    Arh Shame, I was looking out for you both as I knew you’d be there supporting. Just like to say thanks for all your content over the past few months, I participated on Sunday although I found the heat tough going and nearly let it beat me but managed to dig deep and finally crossed the finish line in 16hrs 19min. Tenby is such a special place and the support right up to the end was electric, still buzzing that I actually got round. Maybe catch you at another event 👍

    • @SwimBikeRunStu
      @SwimBikeRunStu  Рік тому

      You are an IRONMAN. Bloody awesome work. I am in awe of you. We had the best day supporting you all. I don't think there was any chance of spotting us, so many people there. It was awesome. Enjoy that awesome feeling that you have achieved your goal 👌

      @@SwimBikeRunStu Thanks Stu, and your right the crowds were crazy, had trouble spotting my own family support most of the day 😂 awesome feeling though crossing that finish line.

      That's awesome. You won't regret signing up. We will be there supporting again next year but no long course for me next year. Time to work on my speed. 👍

      Was an epic day but there's no signing me up. No full for me next year. Sticking with my year of improvements and getting my speed back. One day I will. Just not next year 👌

    A mate of mine was the DJ for this one, he told me it was the best Ironman he had been too, watching this I can see why he thought so :)

      Wales is epic and I think we do ironman because it scares us 🤣 in reality it's a stupid thing to do but we seem to love it 🤣🤣
