Just seen kels insta reel of the tri . Apparently sheās hooked.
All the footage of her during the event shows her as on her own. I guess thatās because she was so far behind every other person?
so when sheās going to address the elephant in the room and discuss the Ironman and the cut off times she wonāt meet

Kells, itās been a while since a vlog because you mustāve forgotten to upload your Valencia Marathon results blog. Kels? Hello? Are you there? I am deeply invested in your series of false starts (or not even starting).
Also donāt claim itās your first tri if you previously claimed your Birmingham tri without swimming as a tri.

mum she is
I remember when she did one XC event and got the spikes and said she was going to do more of it. Also when she had her freebie trip with Buff to Chamonix and declared her new love of trail running. That bike and that wetsuit are going back in the shed of doom soon and sheāll be back on her Boston bullshit 
i am wondering how the organisers could have got the distances so wrong, pretty dangerous I think!
her swim looked like it half killed her, her arms were barely making their way out of the water at the end. and doing a sea swim with barely any acclimisation or practice in the sea itself is not the most sensible thing she has ever done...
oh and the music on the vlog, aaaggghhh!

I'm not sure why but this sentence automatically linked in my head with Beckās song āLoserā. On so many levels.
Thankfully I watch with the sound off so I don't have to listen to their voices
āI love a bargain and Iād sell my own gran for a freebieā would have been more accurate.
I realised I am likely older than most who read here and wanted to add this interpretation of the Beck song Loser.
Slackers?
Lack of skill as coaches, parents, influencing, pacing, showing up for start lines, knowing their limitations, etc etc

Just diving into the vlog - Iām only a few mins in. She said that sheād be the āslowest swimmer thatās my weakest sportā sort of sounding like and implying she wouldnāt be the slowest or weakest at the other events ?!
she bumped into swimmers on her way back as sheād swam off course and was on the side of the people doing their second lap?! She reckons she wasnāt prepared for a sea swim as sheās only done a little swim in it last year. Anyone would think sheād only practiced in a pool with lots of stopping and starting?
she walked up the hill with her bike?? Anyone would think sheād only practiced in her kitchen and not done any outside rides with inclines?!
Any by the run she just felt exhausted ?! Anyone would think her
training has been a waste of timeā¦.
apparently time is irrelevant you lovely lot!
Great vlog guys!

FTTās having a stint in the injury bin I expect. Who wouldāve thought after doing two marathons in one week?Someone commented on FTTs ride (yesterday) asking how the running was going...(reader, he has not responded, obvs
WTAF?! This guy is a bleeping prat
Last in the swim, second last in the bike and last in the run (which was a walk/run looking at Strava). Looking forward to the 70.3 although I doubt she'll start.Just diving into the vlog - Iām only a few mins in.

Thibk kels was second to last overall but the lady who was the final one overall was faster on the swim and run so I personally think something happened to her bike during the ride and so she had a slow bike time, putting her into last place. Just my opinion
On current performance she is not gonna make the cut offs for that 70.3. I believe itās a tough bike course. I started my Tri journey unable to swim front crawl, got lessons and put in 8k a week in the pool before open water season then did that twice a week just to buy myself time in the swim and not be chasing cut offs. Not gonna lie I was dead proud of my 90 min iron man swim when I got to it, but I āworkedā bloody hard for it (I didnāt work .. that was the point .. I wasnāt working at the time and had capacity to put the hours in!!).
