      Yes please. Especially pros (or age groupers) juggling multiple activities and dealing with "real life" from time to time. How to get it all in yet not just use kids & pets as excuses for not managing 3 sports... also the week format seems refreshing vs. "a day of" which most youtubing pros have now published...

    One of my favorite videos you’ve done. As a back of pack pro with kids and a job, this shows how tricky it is to get it all in. Kudos to him for some amazing training and racing while getting the degree !

    Excellent video. Thanks GTN. I met Leon at this years Alpe Duez Triathlon. He won the long course race in 5.41. A first class result.......and a gentleman to go with it. He has the talent to podium at long distance championships, that I'm certain of. All the very best at Kona, I'll be watching the live stream!

    Top VT, I think many people think its easy for a Pro as its there full time job and they have all the time in the world to train, but they still experience the same issues as Age Groupers i.e. tiredness, loss of motivation and other life goals.

    Really great video! Never realised how much swimming/how many swimming sessions the pros do.
    Something I can’t wrap my head around is the 5 hour turbo; 2 hours cycling indoors feels like a lifetime, how do you keep yourself focused for that long?

    Seems like they are always using the buoy on the swims. How much buoy vs non-buoy swimming will they typically do?

    you probably already know this Leon, but you ent doin yourself any favours by working on your laptop in such an unergonomic position. you want good posture and your arms supported at 90 degrees so they reach the keys easily, and the screen should be higher - you want it so your eyes are level with one third down the screen.
    i am trying to fight my own nerd neck and chronic back problems and i just wanted you to have this info in case you didn't already.
