The last of the pics… and the story is complete ❤️🇵🇹 THE OFFICIALS 📸 I’d dreamed of such an epic finish-line picture, but it all went to pieces 🙈 I was just utterly broken, and that was the last thing on my mind when I crossed the line. There are certainly things I’d change, and I’ve learnt SO much from this race. Not just about my body, my recovery and what I need to do differently, but also about the mental strength that every Ironman builds. Each one teaches you something new, pushes you beyond what you thought possible and reminds you just how strong you really are. 💪🏼 @ironmanportugal Portugal, you were a journey I’ll never forget. 🇵🇹🏊🏼‍♀️🚴🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️ Thank you @ironmanstan76 and the kids who constantly support my crazy journey - my team ❤️ 💫Fuel @torqfitness thank you 💫 @veloyelo bike transfer service, Andrew and paddy are the most helpful guys ever and I wouldn’t travel any other way with my bike thank you so much 💫@raceskin - check out their kit, anti chaff and the most comfortable tri suit I’ve ever had 💫@mucoff thank you for my collab and puncture repair kit which thankfully I didn’t need but reassuring to know I had it ! 💫@zone3official thank you for my collab and awesome wetsuit 💫@natlawrencecoach thank you for for another year of coaching 💫@westriveasone awesome performance coaching And just take a moment to admire my beautiful @canyon bike - no collab no sponsor 🙈 defo not good enough for that but what a beaut my little ‘marbs’ is Behind every finish line is a team of people who help make the impossible feel possible, and I’ve been so lucky to have some absolute legends in my corner this year. ❤️ #triathlon #ironman #womeninsport #sportograf inspiringexcellence

"We feel fear itself." 🙏 Donna Hubbard from Strive on first-time nerves at Long Course Weekend. That feeling before the start line is not a warning. It is a signal. "It means you are focused. It means you are challenging yourself. It means you made a commitment to yourself and you showed up for it. And it is a privilege. To have the health, the choice, and the ability to stand on that side of the finish line when so many people wish they could." You chose this. And you can. No matter your age. No matter your distance. Long Course Weekend is for everyone. That is what makes this community the best thing about the whole weekend. Entries open now for 2027.

💙🩷 Team Nat - LCW Wales Edition 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 What. A. Weekend…!!! The name suits the brand: LONG course (arse) Weekend. Friday 3800m sea swim in Tenby Waters - a little long this year but gloriously warm and clear ! New bike route this year - 112 miles of sheer graft from the get go: it wasn’t for the faint hearted or weak willed: and luckily for me, this team are fire crackers and ALL of them came home safely and within amazing times Day 3: the Marathon; not to be messed with. As a distance you don’t muck about with marathon runs, but this is next level to that. The elevation and terrain. Epic in beauty, epic in brutality. And again EVERYONE got to that finish carpet and gained the well deserved Fourth medal to round up what was an incredible feat ! We were also humbled to be part of the LCW Sofa talks on Friday and Sunday with @donnahubbard_ from our mindset coach and partner with Team Nat - discussing all things tips for first timers as well as a special edition of Women and Females in Sport and how we would like to work with the LCW team to encourage more female participation. 🚺 - Our youngest athlete was a mere 20 years old who completed the full long course; something I deffo wouldn’t have even fathomed aged twenty. 👏🏼 just epic strength, resilience and positivity showed by each and everyone of the team #coach #coaching #triathlon #onlinecoach #swimbikerun

LONG COURSE WEEKEND… WHAT. A. VIBE. ❤️ Another year, another reminder of why I absolutely love this event. (Although “love” at mile 80 of the bike may have been a slight exaggeration…) This really is a race for everyone. Whether you’re chasing a podium, your first finish line, or just hoping not to swear too much up the hills. 🌊 The Swim Calm, beautiful conditions… with a few jellyfish joining us because apparently we needed extra company. 1:12:00 60th female. Swimming still isn’t my thing… and I only went and made it 4km! 😂 🚴 The Bike A brand new route. I genuinely didn’t think they could make it harder than last year… but they absolutely proved me wrong. 112 miles. 8,500ft of climbing. Headwinds 6.45hr ride time Some absolutely savage climbs, especially in the last 20 miles when every life choice gets questioned. Somehow managed to ride my way into 8th female. 🏃 The Run Just a ‘casual’ marathon… with another 2,132ft of climbing because apparently flat roads weren’t available. Beautiful scenery definitely helped distract from the screaming legs. 3:20 marathon 6th female. 🏁 Overall: 6th Female. To be sharing the race with some incredible professional athletes was pretty special. Even better when one of them is my amazing coach, friend and occasional drinking partner @natlawrencecoach … who finished 2nd overall! 🍻👏 Huge thank you to everyone out on the course cheering, volunteering and suffering alongside us. Long Course Weekend, you’ve done it again. Now… where’s the recovery snacks? 🍕🍟🍺 100% fuelled by @torqfitness Coach @natlawrencecoach Bike fit @velo_clinic Performance coaching @westriveasone Kit @raceskin @longcourseweekend Swim bag @cmonsta Wetsuit @zone3official

OUTLAW 70.3 🥈 2nd age group 19th female overall out of 466 4:58 finish time Not every race comes with perfect conditions or perfect confidence. Sometimes it comes with freezing water, head winds, self-doubt and hormones trying to throw chaos into the mix. Perimenopause is no joke — but this weekend proved that resilience, experience and mindset are just as powerful as fitness. The whole weekend was freezing. Standing watching the sprint wrapped in winter layers in May was not what we’d planned, you knew it was going to be a tough day. The water was icy and the swim was shortened to 1500m — one of those dives where your breath disappears instantly — well, I say dive but it was a bomb 🤣 The bike course was stunning. Fast rolling roads, beautiful scenery, a few rough gravely lanes to keep you honest and forced you to slow right down, and of course a lovely headwind waiting on the way home. Then onto the run — flat, fast, and honest. The head had its moments especially running into wind, but the crowd support was unreal and carried you through when you needed it most. A reminder that your brain will sometimes try to convince you that you can’t do hard things… even when your body absolutely can. @outlawtriathlon you ROCK *fuel @torqfitness (more to come of fueling for this race over the next coming days) *Coach @natlawrencecoach NL FITNESS (thank you as always) *Bike fit @velo_clinic *kit @raceskin *performance coaching @westriveasone *Collagen @corecollagen_ *Bike @canyon #outlaw #outlawtriathlon #triathlon #podium #triathloncoach

@challengingevents never disappoints - awesome race at Southampton fast twitch triathlon .. and the sun was shining first tri of the season in the UK when the weather is -20 in the morning and 20 degrees in the day…. the hardest part is knowing what to wear 🫣 Swim was slower than it should have been…. T1 school girl error fighting with an upside down jersey on wet skin .. by the time I realised it was upside down I’d lost my shit and lost too much time so didn’t bother (and annoyingly didn’t even need it) ……pushed the bike and the run securing podium 🥉 One of those races where the legs felt great thanks to @lisaphipps78 at @_sakurastoreofficial for a brilliant massage on Thursday 🌟 fuelled by @torqfitness 🌟 Coached by @natlawrencecoach 🌟 sports massage by @_sakurastudioofficial 🌟 kit by @raceskin 🌟 performance coaching by @westriveasone #triathlon #torq #triathlete #podium #inspiringexcellence

@runpompey never disappoints with his events! Been doing the pompey duathlon for years and gutted this is the last…. It’s one of those races where you see so many locals - it’s like one big duathlon family Thank you Rob! ♥️ Today was tough … back end of a shitty cold that the world seems to have ….Had to try and put my mind in a better place but sometimes that doesn’t work … but that’s because I LET that voice get louder in my head! Next time I’ll have it 🤛 On reflection it wasn’t a bad race.. BUT sometimes it’s how we feel, right? And thats ok if your race doesn’t go to plan or we don’t hit numbers …. because it makes us hungry for more!!!! Let’s take a moment to check out @raceskin Tri suit! How amazing #girlpower Coach @natlawrencecoach Kit @raceskin Fuel @torqfitness Performance coaching @westriveasone #duatlon #triathloncoach #runcoach #inspiringexcellence

The buzz of race weekend fades. The crowds disperse. The kit gets packed away. And suddenly, you’re left with a quiet question: What now?⁠ ⁠ The off-season can feel like unfamiliar territory. For months, your training had structure, purpose, and a clear goal. Now the calendar looks emptier, motivation wobbles, and it’s easy to drift into either doing too much … or doing nothing at all.⁠ ⁠ At STRIVE, we believe the off-season isn’t something to “get through”. It’s something to use well.⁠ ⁠ Check out the full article -Link in Bio⁠ ⁠ #lcw #lcwwales #longcourseweekend #swimming #cycling #running #3dayweekend #swimbikerun #multisport

If you’ve been training for an event, you’ll know that early-stage buzz. The surge of motivation, the fresh gear, the optimism that this is your year. But then … something happens. Injury, illness, burnout, or life simply getting in the way. The brakes go on.⁠ ⁠ When that happens, the hardest part isn’t always physical; it’s mental. You start to wonder if all that effort has been wasted, if you’re falling behind, if you’ll ever get back to where you were.⁠ ⁠ But here’s the truth: setbacks don’t define you, they refine you. They’re not detours, they’re data. They’re the moments that sharpen your resilience and test your mindset more than any training plan ever could.⁠ ⁠ Check out the full article by Strive - Link in Bio⁠ ⁠ #lcw #lcwwales #longcourseweekend #swimming #cycling #running #3dayweekend #swimbikerun #multisport
