Just seen kels insta reel of the tri . Apparently she’s hooked.
All the footage of her during the event shows her as on her own. I guess that’s because she was so far behind every other person?
so when she’s going to address the elephant in the room and discuss the Ironman and the cut off times she won’t meet

Kells, it’s been a while since a vlog because you must’ve 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 don’t claim it’s your first tri if you previously claimed your Birmingham tri without swimming as a tri.

Wow Hari has legs!!! I’m surprised he wasn’t put in his buggy to be pushed over the line like the super 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 she’ll be back on her Boston bullshit

Yep, after that sprint experience it’s inconceivable she could do the 70.3. It’s infinitely harder and sounds like this sprint one broke her. Can’t believe the wastage of cash on entry fees tho!!! Wasn’t it about 300quid? The mind boggles

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 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 - I’m only a few mins in. She said that she’d be the ‘slowest swimmer that’s my weakest sport’ sort of sounding like and implying she wouldn’t be the slowest or weakest at the other events ?!
she bumped into swimmers on her way back as she’d swam off course and was on the side of the people doing their second lap?! She reckons she wasn’t prepared for a sea swim as she’s only done a little swim in it last year. Anyone would think she’d only practiced in a pool with lots of stopping and starting?

she walked up the hill with her bike?? Anyone would think she’d 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 time….

apparently time is irrelevant you lovely lot!
Great vlog guys!

FTT’s having a stint in the injury bin I expect. Who would’ve thought after doing two marathons in one week?

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.

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

Kels said that she had two coaches before Christmas, wonder if she’s now stopped working with them. Can’t believe that her nonsense training and this result is the result of any sensible coaching.

On current performance she is not gonna make the cut offs for that 70.3. I believe it’s 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 ‘worked’ bloody hard for it (I didn’t work .. that was the point .. I wasn’t working at the time and had capacity to put the hours in!!).
