Probably the best race debrief video I’ve ever seen, well done lad
Ah thanks! not sure about that i'm sure there have been others who have been better, but maybe one of my better ones :)
Hey Josh, first off a massive congratulations to you, what a performance on a big day. My group was dead last to start so I was watching the pro race unfold as I waited to start the swim, you guys were coming into T2 as I started. My wife and kids were out there cheering you on and when I finished and heard you got 5th I was so happy for you.
It was so nice to meet you and your family at dinner that evening, they must be so proud of you.
Gavin and family🎉
Hey Gavin, congrats to you too!
It was so nice to meet you and your family, and see your wife and kids after the race at the banquette too! Hope you had a great day out and enjoyed the experience as well!
What an awesome recap, and what an amazing week for you, so stoked for you Josh!
Undoubtedly one of Ale and my highlights of the week was bumbling into you at the hotel, can't describe how thrilled we were!
Looking forward to following your journey, so exciting to think that this really, is only the beginning!
Thanks Tim! That's so nice to hear. Definitely don't underestimate how much I valued catching up with you both. I wouldn't usually be that outward about it all, so it was nice that Emilie shared my success and I was able to share it with you guys, it was a highlight for me too. I don't often get that.
Hope you both got home safe and with luggage!
@@Josh_lewis Ah that's awesome!
The bike made it eventually, took an extra day though 😳. All good though
Nice to see a humble chap smash it on race day and give such a great insight to the build up, race and post race reaction. Fantastic performance
ah thank you so much Ian!
I’ve been waiting for this vid! Me watching the IM top five finisher press meeting after waking up Sunday…. “What race is this?! Hey it’s Josh! Isn’t he at.. wait a minute!” Congrats man! Keep up the grind. We’re really happy you’re taking us along on the journey. Cheers!
haha thank you!! i'll keep plugging away at these vids :)
chapeau Josh ! 5th in the world. Your humility is inspiring.
Thanks Craig, very kind!
Hi Josh, the only time I got excited watching the race online was when I saw you were in the mix and heading for a great finish. It really was quite funny listening to the commentators trying to figure out who you were. Very well done to you and hope to see more of you in other races!!!
Thank you!! haha yeh i've heard they were a bit confused... could have been the stealth trisuit ;) hopefully more to come
Way to beat the bib! Epic! Was fun to follow your season along and then this happened! Congrats, once more! Had to follow you also from IG now, no way around it mate... :D
Months ago you asked if you should keep going and I replied you should. I am impressed with how you raced and how you ran. Man, you did amazing. What a race!!!
haha yeh imagine if i'd stopped! Thank's for that, and thank you :)
Awesome racing and well deserved. On it from the start into the first buoy and gave it beans all day. Like that!
Thanks Rob! Felt like I was going backwards until the first buoy haha but somehow made it work :D
Such a performance! Was way too excited watching the coverage and seeing you hanging in with the front bike pack - epic
Soooo proud!! Congratulations
Start of something bigger xx
🥹 Thanks Fen, who'd have thought back in the day hey? haha. Let's hope so! See you soon 🙌🏻
Well done Josh! I didn't know you before... but now I do!!! Great race.. great effort... very inspiring!!! BEST, Foli
Thanks Foli!
Incredible Josh!! Great video too!
Thank you! and keep up the good work on your channel!
Congratulations! I was happy to see your name on there after following your videos here and on effortless swimming. Looking forward to seeing you on more podiums. And glad to know I’m not the only one that gets freaked out by seaweed.
Josh, so glad you enjoyed my country. The lakes here are wonderful to swim in 😎 I did shout you on at the start of the second lap just before the scaffold bridge, you looked in the zone buddy. Congrats on the 5th place. Oh also you downloaded the GPX file for the Lahti 70.3 that took place at the start of July 😉
Thanks so much Dean! hahaha yeh so easy to make the mistake! whoops.
Genuine triathlete, keep this attitude and the best will come with tomorrow. Bravo Josh 😃
Ah thanks Dominique!
incredible race Josh - almost couldn't believe what I was watching!
Haha me too!
I remember about 2 years ago I said that you would blow up one day, and I have been watching you every video, and to see that race on Sunday made me very proud of your efforts! Keep it up mate!
I remember you saying that on one of the comments! (if i remember that correctly?) Can't believe it. Thank you very much for following along :)
Congrats mate! Really well executed race, no one overlooking you in the future!
Thanks mate, really appreciate that coming from you! Such a shame about the pen, but really look forward to bumping into you again on a startline soon... literally 😂
Great result. I was watching on UA-cam and I was on edge cheering for you on the run. You held off some gun names. Really pleased for you.
Thanks Seven! Yeh i can't quite believe the I held off some quality athletes... they were mowing me down!
Amazing mate. You smashed it! I had no idea you were there until after the race. Then I saw you were and how well you'd done. Fantastic! It was a great route...bit wet, but loved it!
haha thanks Jez! yes it was a tough day out. Glad you enjoyed it!!
Well done Josh, epic racing! Loving following along your journey, keep smashing it!
Thanks beth! hope alls well with you!

@@patricia_w haha thank you! Me too!
Nice video, great race. Congrats!

Massive congrats Josh. You deserve it. Onward and upward now 💪
Ah thanks Adam!! On to the next one
I'm really happy for you! When I saw the placings, I was like, "wait a minute i know this guy" and have been waiting for this video since then. Thanks for your efforts in creating this content and best of luck in your future racing.
Thank you so much!!
well done, definitely a good performance for the future. hope you enjoyed the moments - Now onto the next races and time to improve this run of yours :P
That's the plan! haha. I've been trying 😂 Has improved by 3 minutes this season believe it or not 🤦🏻♂️
Been following you for a while Josh. Your numbers in training showed that on a good day, when things go right, youd be at the pointy end of any race. Ive been waiting for you to have that great day out and this was it. Stunning effort! I was racing as well - rain made the bike spicy - saw quite a few serious accidents. And that run course - pretty much a non-grass XC course! Best course ive ever raced on.
Ah thanks Chris! It’s always so hard when you’re seeing the numbers in training but haven’t produced it on a big stage before, so I’m glad I managed to put it together.
But yeh congrats on getting around. Those roads must have been like an ice rink in that rain. We were lucky to miss it
Congratulations, well done 👍 This is amazing 🙌
Thank you!!
Unbelievable performance, many congrats!
Thank you!
Impressive riding mate and even more impressive to deliver on the run off of it! Congrats on your result
Cheers mate!! Yeh I have no idea how that happened haha. Thought I was going to waddle around with how i was feeling after that bike 😂
Congratulations! Been following for a while and was cheering you on on the livestream. Amazing performance 👏👏👏
Thank you so much!! love the support in person and behind a screen haha. nice to know people care
Congratulations 🎉🎉 amazing job!! 💪🏼
Well done to you buddy.
So pleased to see you get this result! Well done!
Thank you! 😊
Huge effort, beast 🥵

Well Josh cracking result 🎉
Thank you!
👏 what an achievement
So stocked to see you perform so well! Knew you had it! Hlad you made it to Finland and did not left out even though hesitating a little during summer? ❤❤🎉
Thank you so much!! literally imagine if I hadn't made it! glad i pushed through :)
As they say in Scotland- pure dead brilliant 🎉
Haha thanks Clare!!
Well Done.
Thank you!
Can I ask how you fueled for the race? I was there and I think i completely messed up that part.
Congratulations on top 5! Amazing!
Of course! I had 3 porridge pots 3 hours before, a gel 20 mins before and then 150g carbs on the bike within 1.5L and 750ml of electrolytes. 300ml of electrolytes / 45g carbs on the run
And thank you, how did you go other than the fuelling?
Awesome race 👏. Can I ask about the front end of your tt bike. Is it the standard set up that the bike comes with or have you changed any parts? Particularly looking at the angle of you bars. Thanks 👍
of course! yes it's pretty standard. I've bought more angle risers from trek to tilt it up more, but it's all stock stuff from trek. nothing custom
In England, you have lake district, but in Finland we are the land of thousand lakes ;)
I just wish our water wouldnt be so dark in general... its the purest in quality, but the sediment or what ever makes it quite dark abyss to swim in most of the lakes and rivers
Not as shocked as I was 😂 You must have been pushing 400 on the bike and then *didn't* die on the run!!? 🤘🤘🤘
Yeh I had around 3 efforts of 5 minutes that were above 400 😳
💪 mental 👏
I had no idea triathletes could push that much power 😳
😂 yeh that’s fair. It’s madness
I see your ranking has gone up 46 places, Josh. I suppose it would have been better if you had started off at 47, but hope it opens more doors for you.
Yes mental! let's hope so, but it's tough to break into the top 20 without being at the PTO races I think. lets see!
Well done, perfectly executed! Asked myself who is this non german guy 😉 in the front pack… Never heard of him… now I know!
Massive congrats! Great race and very Inspiring!💪🫵
haha i'm not sure many people knew who I was which was fun. Thank you and i'm glad it inspired!
