[Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] down where the river moans lay the songs of Flesh and Bone down where the Devil roams voices calling out to home I see the sickling C Stranger In Black coming out down in the cold dead ground laying wait for judgment how your song at the river you s House of Hell at the river come and looking for blood how your song at the river you sit up House of Hell at the river come and look at for blood how your song at the river you s at the river come looking for blood your s so we’re in warsa first impressions it’s really nice yeah yeah we’re really um we’re like by the river aren’t we and yeah it’s lovely it’s really lovely the weather’s warm sun’s out shorts on it’s all good all things you love yeah yeah there was really nice lunch that was yeah that makes makes me things better and actually the flight wasn’t too bad we struggled to uh find the hotel didn’t we but we got there in the end more by luck than judgment I think yeah cuz I skimped on the satinav and um yeah it turns out it’s quite hard to pronounce a lot of the Polish street names so I kept taking you confidently round and round in circles I think we went over that Rhythm about four times yeah we did and we found two stadiums so but we found our way here and the hotel is lovely really nice so um yeah like it I think it’s going to be a really awesome race uh I’m a bit nervous training has not been quite what I was hoping for I think it’s always you get like I get nervous at the beginning on the first one especially um you know you want to do it but it is an awful long way so awesome so plans for the rest of the day we’re going to go for a little run aren’t we and uh pick up that wheel that I couldn’t fix before we left yeah I didn’t catch it on camera Tom spraying the entire kitchen with sealant but uh yeah yeah I uh I had a bit of a battle with the tubus tires and I uh I didn’t win did I no no there was a lot of swear words and a lot of pink liquid everywhere and a few gas canisters but very nice mechanic man seems to think he can fix it so um yeah fingers crossed by the end of day I’ve got two working wheels so yeah go for a run next go pick that up and then head out for dinner y so we got the wheel and I would like it on the record he did say didn’t he that they had to redo the tape they had the same problem that I had with it so I can do tubeless tires Tom’s manlihood is restored yeah but it’s good that the professionals have done it this time isn’t it cuz we know it works so we have got a very fast Tire you ready to use it it’s got some air in it now I’m going to go a bit faster than I was going to go on a rim so hey hey hey [Music] hey hey hey hey [Music] hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey wake up every day feels boring the same thing routine in the morning grew up too fast without warning and when it rains it’s pouring I got dreams Big Dreams I want to do big things but I just can’t seem to put it all together I just want to be sa I’m jumping by my diving middle of the ocean swimming till I find it I see an island out ahead fill with things that I’ve wanted since I was a kid swim through it with every muscle I’ve got sucking down water in my lungs till I cough but I won’t give up I’ll never stop till I was on the sand or my heart finally Stop Pizza baby I will be the best headed out for change I just started on my quest yeah the world will know my name I’m excited I’m obsessed no one in my way but myself and a test yeah I will be the best yeah I will be the best life is just a game I’ll be playing till I rest I’ll be there to claim my own spot among the best deep with in my mind I’ll put all my fear to rest cuz I will be the best day I be the best I can I got to study your CR I got to make up a plan to okay so day two we uh had a bit of a lion this morning which is nice and uh then we got the bike unpack so that went really well than actually it’s all working so no problems with that yes um working well just the weather was a bit nap yeah so we haven’t it was warm but just raining a bit so uh we’ve decided to go for a run in dead and get that done so we are heading down to um we’re going to run down to the X yeah and get registered and then it’s due to be a bit dry later isn’t it so we can get the bike done later yeah a good life has a good purpose something that makes everything that you’re doing worth it something with a bigger meaning that’s under the surface cuz that’s what’s going to keep you working it’s a journey to make it I got got a life in the making I choose how I’m going to shape it I got new life in rotation I flip a switch I’m fixated I’m sick of patience and waiting my destiny is awaited I will be the best headed out for change I just started on my quest yeah the world will know my name I’m excited I’m obsessed no one in my way but myself and a test yeah I will be the best yeah I will be the best life is just a game I’ll be playing till I rest I’ll be there to claim my own spot I’m on the best deep within my mind I put on my Fe rest cuz I will be the best yeah I will be the best this night is a journey worth taking every breath in it is sacred it gets hard and frustrating but trust me you just got to embrace it okay sitre we are registered uh the sun has come out Ellie is out on the bike and I have sorted out alternative transportation I did get dropped immediately though so uh definitely do some Arrow upgrades on this thing maybe a nice disc wheel for the back and some watch shot bars at the front would probably help me out quite a lot hopefully I’ll catch up and be able to get some footage of the uh of the ride that was the plan in in the first place anyway so um I’m going get my head down and uh try to catch up so bik running okay yeah really good that’s good news and the bottles aren’t falling off and the straws are working so yeah good my plan didn’t work out quite as well as I’d hoped no in the battle of scooter versus bike scooter scooter lck I was redlining it the whole way and I got dropped almost immediately yeah I mean you were slow I tried to slow down [Music] you rest cuz I will be the best yeah I will be the best [Music] watch out for her dark side yeah she got some sharp eyes see her for the first time never let her out my sight I just want to stay up look at you I’m made up dirty thoughts are seep into my mind I can’t wait up oh she look so good got me straight in the mood she that room she know just what to do moving that body she dancing and shaking it’s making I’m crazy she know how to move she said she’s ready to party huh Let’s Get It Started tequa straight out the b she let so go when she sipping a m i can’t get enough I need you okay so it’s race day uh skip today um which was 100% my fault uh for a couple of reasons um one I’m on a really bad run with heart rate monitors so I forgot to pack it again um so we ended up spending a little bit of time yesterday procuring a new one um and uh the charger that I brought for the GoPro batteries doesn’t work um but I managed to find a solution to get some battery into this one today so hopefully that’ll last throughout the day and we’ll actually be able to get some footage um long story short we did find a he rate monitor we got everything racked um just the day was a little bit more stressful than we initially hoped for um like I said 100% my fault so um trying to make amends today Yeah so basically we got down really early this morning um did the last couple of bits on the bike uh getting the Garing on setting up the shoes doing the nutrition that kind of thing probably a little bit more pre-race anxiety today than uh before like I said I think that’s 100% down to me so um she’s in the water now and hopefully she have a good swim hopefully a good day everything that we [Music] [Music] taste okay so sitre um she is out the swim and onto the bike um trackers are a little bit delayed but it looked like she was out of the water in 17th overall and made up a couple of places in transition one um and then she started the bike really really strong so she’s up to eighth place relatively early on the bike um and as far as I can tell um based on my time in she seems to be making up some ground on the top few people so um yeah started the bike well I’ve now got a bit of a job on to get back in the car and get back to town CU it’s a point too bike for so um yeah if I’m going to make it back before she hits the running horse I’ve got to get a shift on okay so she has actually beat me back to town she’s going really fast and she’s up to third place overall so I’m going to jump back on my trusty Ste and try and catch [Music] up okay so I found her and we’re on the Run um she managed to come off the bike in third place overall and second in her age group which is really really good so she’s moved up to about 10 places on the bike um she’s running well but so are all the other people around us so she’s doing really really well at the moment kind of just about whole position I think we’re about two laps in now and she’s lost a couple of places overall but still second in her age group so she’s running quite well but um yeah so is everyone [Music] [Music] da okay so I’ve just caught her on lap three of four um she’s just about holding firm on her Pace she’s doing a really really good job um she has L A couple more positions overall but she’s still in the top 10 um yeah she’s still in second in her age group she’s doing a really really fantastic job um can see how hard she’s working she’s pushing really really hard bless her I’m really really proud of her she’s doing such a great job on this I’m really hoping that she can hold on for that Podium position cuz she’s really really ARA she got a bite like a cobra I’ll take the Venom it’s worth it to know you she pulling up with that body I want to make her a hobby she got a face of nauy I want to CH it till I got around it I can’t get enough I need okay so I’ve just seen her on the last lap um there’s so many people out on course now um and there’s only one timing map per lap so I’ve completely lost track of where she is um in terms of positions I don’t think she’s I think she’s about the same um she’s given it everything that she’s got though and uh she’s working really really hard she’s looking tired but strong everything t da da da so 7.3 wara in the Box how did it go well I’ve got a massive PB so that’s nice I got 447 um and 14th overall which I think is probably my best result ever so yeah I’m super stoked what else is there to say really I got into swim and after the first few hundred meters I actually was it was getting better and better and Better In The Swim I swam 30 m to the left for some unknown reason of everyone else for the entire course and I didn’t seem to be able to go back and there was no rip TI cuz it was a lake I didn’t know what was going on there but like I swam well and um and yeah it just I felt better and better and then I got on the bike and I felt really strong and I thought I’d should make the most of it tried to make up the time on the front girls um you gave me a split coming out swim so that helped it was just a super fast course it was just really fun and yeah love well it was the way you did it yeah so I bik 210 um so that was really good um and I think I was in third place or something coming off with the bike um and only a couple of minutes down from the front girl overall so yeah I’m really happy with that and then the run like it it wasn’t my fastest run it wasn’t very you know fast at all but like I have had a lot of injuries I’ve had very little consistent run training and I had no pain on the run I had no like no why I had pain from being unfair but I didn’t have I didn’t have like hip pain or foot pain which like was really everything I’d hoped for so yeah like it was just a great day great day amazing City I just I yeah really enjoyed it yeah we definitely come back with me uh yeah I come back I come back for the event but I come back just for the city as well like awesome so hope you’ve enjoyed our watera Vlog if you did don’t forget to
