- I headed north to Glasgow for the ETU European Sprint Triathlon Championships and this time it wasn’t purely for work, I was actually racing too. Follow my build up and race day experience as I represent Great Britain for the first time ever in triathlon.

Rewind to a few months earlier; I entered my first sprint triathlon, in Nottingham, UK. (Yes admittedly I’ve done things backwards with a full IM last year.) This was a European qualifying event and winning my age group gave me the opportunity to represent my country at the European Championships.
With the European’s being hosted in Glasgow, Scotland I jumped at the chance of wearing my first ever GB tri suit and competing on home soil in the UK. And then there was the added bonus of having the professional European Triathlon Championships taking place alongside, so plenty of opportunities to learn from the pros.
I flew up North a few days earlier to get some videos filmed with GTN as well as starting my race day preparation. During this vlog I share my thoughts and feelings on the build up; starting from my arrival, to the building of my bike, the course recce, as well as my expectations.
Then it’s on to race day where I share the preparation right from my waking moment up to the race start. Following that of course there’s the race itself and I finish off my bringing you my round up on what turned out to be an emotional but hugely successful day.

For those wondering how fast she went:
Run 10:53, T1 02:29, Bike: 36:39, T2 01:39, Run 20:09, Total: 01:11:46
Swim = 01:27 / 100m
Bike = 32.74 km/h (20.34 m/h)
Run = 4:02/km (6:29/m)
you misspelled the first "swim"
This is the 1st useful comment in the history of CZcams. Well done!
Heather is 35-39? I legit thought she's just on her late twenties. Congrats again on the win, Heather!
same
Yep I thought so too... goes to show the power of a healthy lifestyle (and good genetics probably)
Hot af
Same 😳
Wow Heather what a great win and so humble with it!! This deserved a longer video by the way👍😉🏆
Staged.
I never write comments, But I found this channel not to long ago. It has inspired me to become a triathlon athlete. I giving myself a year to train. wish me luck, Congrats on the win! amazing run, excellent time! you and mark are my hero's: "see you in the next video" -.^
Awesome! Good Luck!
This channel is truly inspiring and source of motivation. I did my first triathlon this year and it was amazing. I wish you good luck on your training and journey to become a triathlete!
I don't know how old you are, how fit you are and what goals you have you shouldn't need a year of training if you are only racing for fun. A sprint distance is not that hard.
Anyway, good luck and have fun with your training. Triathlon really is a great sport
Sign up for a race. Seriously. You’ll set your “end” goal, and all your training will fall into place. Best advice I can give ya’. Good luck!
Its been a year. How did you go?
GTN's undercover star! Always so humble and now crushing the competition easily. Congratulations Heather!
AND went to kona!
I'm late to the party here but I love the camaraderie at 7:29. THIS is what sports should be about; everyone racing their own race but respecting the other racers too
Congratulations, Heather !
Thanks TheWonderboy9
I used to powerlift. I held national records. Most of the time, I loved training, but there would be those days when I'd question why the heck I do this. Then, competition would come around and I knew why. Oh how I loved it.
Knowing how much heart and mind it takes, makes me respect and love sports like Triathlon which I'm working HARD to get into. Seeing this... wow the motivation. I love it!! Thanks! and....
*Congratulations!!*
Congratulations Heather!! I believe the secret for your success was the pizza you ate the day before! It looked tasty as hell 🍕
Congrats Heather, age group Worlds is the next logical step! Also a shout out to the photography crew for those great drone shots 2:20 into the video -well done!

What an inspirational video! Congratulations, Heather! I used to race (race??) Ironmans with people who said they'd never race Sprint-Tri's, 'cos sprints hurt from the word go - IM's only start to hurt about halfway through the bike.
'Yeah, but that's a lot of hurting still left to do!' :-)
Congratulations
Well done, Heather! Bravo!
Thanks!
Well done Heather!!!
