#TeamCharlesBarclay - Sport
this is kind of random but the most inspirational and motivating part of this video is where you showed your finish line photo back in 2014 as an age grouper with a pretty "average" finishing time. It really shows that even the best pros started from somewhere and it took so many years of hard work and dedication to get to where you are now
And to think I got the Ironman tattoo because for me it was a big achievement at the time to just finish it! It’s amazing to look back on the journey from then until now 🤩
Lucy you are such an inspiration! I’m so glad you finally won the Ironman World Championship after coming second 4 times. Your next tattoo should be the words “NEVER GIVE UP!” 🤟
That finish time isn’t average for an IM UK first timer🤣
So inspiring, motivational and love starting my day with your new videos !!! ☺️🤩
Amazing tattoo!!! Loved meeting you and Holly after the Ho’ala swim. You’re both so sweet and kind. So fun watching your race and win Kona this year!!
I think that a tattoo representing you, Reece and Holly would be amazing. You’re all so close knit and this was certainly a team effort 😊
Congratulations Lucy!!!!
You are an absolute ROCK STAR! You inspire me everyday with everything you do. I too was a swimmer who came to triathlon so you are my spirit animal. I also love tattoos and the significance of marking yourself with art to signify a great journey. Hawaii is an epicenter of tattoo culture combining ocean, sky, and hardship. Sailor Jerry while rather passe these days had many mermaid and sparrow flash representing what is now a very classic tattoo style. I will someday get wing tattoos on my ankles to help carry me over the road on my long runs. You are much more than a mermaid now, you are a mermaid who flies!
Your win last year has really inspired me as a college grad looking to make his way in the world. Thanks for the energy, and for a new tattoo maybe a picture of a lily flower and a pickle for the dogs!
You once passed me and my friend Valerie when training in the canary islands. Ever since, i have been telling the story of the time i was training with Lucy. I think you could do another mermaid but have the hair plats made of miniture images of your silhouette running or cycling. Valerie and i did our first ironan together. But she qualified for the world championships!! If you select me, i will give the prize to her. It would make the best surprise present ever. She has the same attitude as you, a whirlwind of positivity.
Congratulations Lucy, as a swimmer myself I always have looked up to you and your natural talent. I think your next tattoo should be the mantra you always tell yourself before any race or event, as a little reminder of the wonderful things you have told yourself and the amazing things you have accomplished.
I love how you are so down to earth and humble!! Your next tattoo when you win the next worlds in France could be a mantra you used that has helped you everybday keep on following the dream
What an incredible achievement, especially given your journey.... humble respect and massively inspirational. 🙌 Tatoo's are definitely addictive and so if I was to recommend a next tattoo... the mermaid symbolises freedom, independence, magic, and if you added an anchor, a mermaid anchor tattoo, it symbolises a person in tune with themselves and who holds strong to their values....if there was a way to incorporate this, it would resonate...in my humble opinion. Have a wonderful, healthy, prosperous and happy 2024 everyone. 🙌
Love the tattoo! And what an amazing memory to always be reminded of 😊 if you were to get another I would say it could be something that represents you, reece, pickle and lola as a team ❤
Very nice tattoo Lucy. I like the simplicity of it, and I like the story behind it. Nice reminder and all the best in 2024.
As this is an evolutional Journey Lucy, I recommend that the mermaid got wings to fly across the course (and do not need legs). BTW very nice that you mentioned Daniela as an inspiration in your thank you speech in Kona, you can see how much it meant to her by her eyes and facial expression. Not being first does not mean you are off the radar, you still mean something to people, you inspire, you be a role model. Very similar to you Lucy, where this is about diciplined training to work on the completion of your dreams, regardless which age group, which time, but I dream about improvement and your videos about stubbornness/sacrifice, defects, injuries you don't care, you wake up and chase your dream. Our dreams are different, still the same principle applies - Greetings from Christian from Berlin
You're a legend, Lucy! Keep Grinding :) And what an awesome tattoo !:)
I really liked your idea of ‘22221’ that you mentioned in your world champ video 😊 it reflects your tenacity of never giving up and achieving your goal no matter what it takes! 💪👑
You’re such a huge inspiration - I did my first Ironman and got my first tattoo (not triathlon related) last year. I think something like ocean/waves would be cool for your next one. Cheers!
Such a cute tattoo Lucy - thanks for sharing. Lola and Pickles with Wings for your next one x 🤍
I love your tattoo! Brilliant representation of you and your year. I’ve actually been thinking about a new one since I did Kona for the first time in 2023. I definitely want a M dot, and some native Hawaii symbols, along with the bright colors of the island.
Lucy, watching your journey has really inspired me and my family. Both of my parents have picked up running and cycling recently and completely changed their health since the pandemic. Watching you win Kona has inspired all of us and is a testament to how with positivity, hard work, a good support system, and grit, anything is possible.y dad and I both completed our first half marathons this past year and we are so inspired by you and now have a goal of completing an ironman one day. I think if you were to get another tattoo, it would be really meaningful to have one that represents your journey. Maybe stack your first ironman finishing time above your next World Championship time with some sort of Flower crown or motif to Lola, Pickle, and Reece around it. Kind of like a representation of your journey and the ones that have always been by your side.
Wow😍 That’s such a pretty tattoo! And a lovely symbol of the journey you have been on!
I would say it would be really cool for you and Holly to get matching sister tattoos!
You are such an inspiration Lucy ! 🤍 love the tattoo, if you'd get another one maybe something like abstract lines that run down your arm, just like a stream of energy that complement your muscles. For all the hard work that is in your blood. ✨🤍 much love from Germany 💛
This is awesome! I was cheering you on the whole race that day…though you made it look easy by leading the ENTIRE time. One cool tattoo idea I’ve seen is to get the elevation profile of a race done. Could start with a wave image and then crash into the elevation profile of the bike/run
Always inspiring to hear your story. My wife and I have been following you since we did our maiden Mini-Tri. Since we train together and you and Reece train together, for your next tattoo how about a love heart for Reece, to remind you that he's always there for you, through thick and thin.
I really like the idea of letting a close person in ur life design smth little for your body. I for example wear little flower tattoos all over my body, each individualy desgined by my dearest friends and family. Like that I carry a bunch of flowers with me wherever I go, gifted to me by important people. This can be anything else ….. words, tools, dreams, symbols important to these people. So for example may let Reece or one of your parents desgin smth meaningful for you? I really like the way your mermaid tattoo turned out and think ist suits you well! Super happy and proud for you!! Keep up the fun grind, its been a huge inspiration and motivation. Bless and Love
Wow that's such a unique idea with the flowers - such a cool way to carry your loved ones around with you! 😍
I love the video. In every single one of your videos you can only guess the time and effort spent for producing such a great one 🥰
I think your next tattoo could be sth with battle braids 😍
Definitely something to do with your sweet little doggies!! They have really cool basic outline tattoos of your dog’s faces. Love watching your journey and your NEVER GIVE UP ATTITUDE (or as you would say “at-ti-tyude” 😂
Love your tatoo! 🧜♀️ For the next one, maybe the battlebraids? I think that‘s such a powerful signature of yours and I always think of you and feel inspired and motivated when I braid mine 🥰
It looks so lovely🥰 I would recommend Pickle and Lola with a hawaii flower crown on top of their heads🤗 I am always keen on watching your videos🤠 Thanks for inspiring me🥰
Lola and Pickle!!! Congrats on the win and the whole journey to get there 😊
Ok, why did this make me weirdly emotional?? Also, imagine being the owner of that car with the sticker having inspired LCB's celebratory tattoo. I'd put that on my resume tbf. :p
If you go for another triathlon related one I love the idea of adding on to your original IM tattoo (maybe in another colour)? Add the crown but also add hands underneath it, lifting it up in a way (representing Reese, your family, your support system)!
Hope you find a lot of joy in 2024 personally and professionally Lucy!
Such a fun video to see the story behind the ink! I loved your idea in your last video for “2-2-2-2-1” as a tattoo or something like a four leaf clover but with 5 leaves as a play on your “fifth time lucky” comment after winning
Love it!
The mermaid is amazing 🩵 Love the idea of TCB for your next tattoo to represent your amazing partner in Reece & the community you’ve built. Keep up the great work!
Even though I'm not personally keen on tattoo's, yours is very cool.😉
I think if you were to get a nother tattoo, it would be really special to get something representing Reece on the other arm, as he has always been by your side and because you have done everything together.❤ I also just want to say how inspiring you guys are as a couple, and how watching you guys gets me so excited to one day meet someone with shared interests, so that we can take on the world Together, just like you guys. 😌
I have been debating getting a tattoo after qualifying for Kona IM WC in my first ever full IM and completing a PR while you ruled the day! I think you could give your IM tattoo this signature braids to remind you of how good of a role model you are for gals all over the world!
Love the whole mermaid theme! I consider myself a bit of a mermaid, and can’t wait to get my 1st Kona tattoo done; it will have mermaid scales incorporated!
Your next tattoo; should be Lola and pickle, I know you have their characters on your helmet; but I have my dogs paw prints on my foot, so there is a couple ideas, or how about a few mermaid scales on your feet, as if it’s under your skin!! Love the tat!!
Love the tattoo. I loved everything about your bike/ kit/ helmet on race day. It may have been the details that were missed if you were racing with the men on the same day. Your next tattoo should be be something significant that symbolizes you and Reece.
You are a true inspiration. I like the idea the wreath added to the IM for next tattoo.
LOVE 🤩 the new ink, Lucy!! Yes it's addicting...I'm up to 3 now (the first was in 2 parts though). For your next tattoo I'd not be surprised if you did paw prints of your fur babies. 😁 God bless, Megan ps. I could really use some mermaid magic as I've been working on the swim to tri and qualify for Kona in the next 2 years. I'm such a land creature, ugh. 🙃
such a special tattoo! And I think the position is just so nice and perfect so you can always see it when you are training and racing 😊
Thank you so much!!
Absolutely love the tattoo! 🧜♀️ I think you either meet a Lola tattoo with the Kona crown or something with BattleBraids! ❤ thanks for always being an inspiration & motivator 💪🏻
A manta ray! Don’t know whether you went for a swim with them while on Big Island, they’re so amazing and graceful ❤
This is awesome
Love your Mermaid tattoo! 😊 I have similar thoughts about strong meaning of each tattoo. I have also one in my arm which I see always when cycling and it reminds me of many things. I have wanted to have a tattoo of things which have meant a lot to me and which I want to keep with me forever, e.g. paw of my first cat. And will definitely have an Ironman tattoo as soon as able to finish it 😅 I saw the stickers of Lola and Pickle in your helmet so maybe next tattoo could be something related to them? 😊🐶
Hey Lucy!! When you win Nice next year and get another tattoo, you should get two mermaids sitting back-to-back, representing your back-to-back world championship wins. Thanks for all your videos, and congrats again on Kona!
Love your new tattoo Lucy! I think once you win your next 140.6 World Championship it'll be time to get that GOAT tattoo 🐐
Love your new tattoo! You are such an inspiration! You should definitely get your dogs Lola and Pickle as a tattoo! 🏊♀️🚴♀️🏃♀️🐾🐶
I love the new tattoo ! Tattoos are so much fun. I would have to say for your next that little mini single needle pet portraits of Lola and Pickle would be sooooo cute
You are an amazing ambassador for our sport. Your next tattoo should be something like the St George 70.3 World Championship logo. Very cool colors and one of your standout performances. I was out there with you in the crazy weather
Love this Lucy ! For your next tattoo, maybe something motivational about your journey and to never give up ! “Triathlon doesn’t build character it reveals it “
Something like that
Just a thought !
Btw I was in Kona this year and raced and was so sorry I didn’t get a chance to meet you ❤ thanks for everything you do for our sport !!!
Mermaid tattoo is excellent !
Next one could be about your dogs and the team surrounding you for training !
Lola and Pickle back piece! 🐕🐶🐾
I think your idea of adding the hawaii flower crown to your ironman symbol is super super cool. You should do this and then when you win the Nice world champs next year, you can a tattoo of the ironman symbol in the 3 stripped colours of the french flag (blue/white/red) with maybe a cute little pint of beer since you pour that on one another on the podium haha. This way you can get a little collection going of ironman tattoos representing each world champs you've won :)
Great to see your tattoo up close. I also wanted one to celebrate my first 70.3 but maybe full IM is more meaningful. Anyhow also tought to stay out of the pool and wait for it to heal... For the next tattoo: something about your next achievement? Football multiple world champ add stars, you could add a starfish? But just saying...🎉 Thanks for being such an inspiration!
Love the mermaid, i'm also a big fan of the underwaterworld and triathlon hehe! Your next tattoo should be a small camera 📸 for all the good memories that you got form your sister filming al your adventurs, another option are 2 funny portrets from the doggies!🐶🐶🥰
Next tattoo Pickle and Lola🐕🐕❤❤❤❤ the irondogs !!!
Love you Lucy!!!
I have a puppy paw on my wrist to symbolize all my pups throughout my life! Inside the big part of the paw is a heart. Simple but meaningful!
Omg holly, the mermaid swim in the end is awesome!!
Your story is so inspirational that I eagerly wait for your new videos to come out and listen intently to the info and guidance you offer. 💕Like you I intend to get an M Dot tattoo when I complete my 1st Ironman in 2026 - age 60 years young 😁. I have a long way to go as I can only swim 25m but I will not give up 💪👍. For your next tattoo it would be so lovely to have an image honouring the selfless devotion that Reece has shown over the years supporting you on your journey. My partner is very much the same and I could not do what I do without his support and encouragement and for that I am eternally grateful ❤️. Perhaps an entwined symbol using the letters of his name. I’m a stick figure artist so can’t sketch but I’m sure you get the idea. Good luck for 2024 - I’ll be cheering you on 🏊♀️ 🚴♀️🏃♀️🙌
A Lola and Pickle tattoo of course! I also like the idea of going to a tattoo artist and just kind of telling them your life and letting them design something based off of that since they’re such creative people
You have been an inspiration for us women. I started last year with triathlon. For your next tattoo I do think that you should have “no.1” this can mean a lot, like choosing yourself first above others, or you are number 1, and no matter what age you will become you are number 1 its not a session it is a personal choice. 😊
Definitely dogs! Since you have already two and I hope that more are coming, is indeed a cool way to memorise them on your body :) Personally I am planning to get one in order to honor our little fluffy friend.
I think a tattoo somewhere around the lines of "Karma" would be apt coz it means "to focus/enjoy the process more than the destination".
Lots of love to Lucy and the team
Love the mermaid 🧜♀️ tattoo!!! I think the next one should represent how brilliant you are or how mentally strong you are…. Something like a light bulb (since you’re full of amazing and inspiring ideas) or of course your puppies! (Can’t go wrong with that!)
Next tattoo should be the Olympic rings after you make the team. 🙌 Best of luck Lucy!!!
Love the new tattoo 😍 the mermaid’s amazing 🥰 maybe get something with Lola and Pickle or a swim/bike/run tattoo? ☺️
If i were you, i would map the island geographic site with the main sightseeing things representing that place and the race that means the most for you - the one that you worked really hard to get, and put it around my hand , almost to look like a bracelet. Frist it's cool and second it's a reminder of the effort and work you put to accomplish it. I did a similar one when i finished my first marathon in Valencia- basically took the medal engravings as the initial idea, expanded it and put it as i mentioned above on my hand, so in a way, the medal is always with me .. sort of :D
My daughter said "Hey Lucy!! When you win Nice next year and get another tattoo, you should get two mermaids sitting back-to-back, representing your back-to-back world championship wins. Thanks for all your videos, and congrats again on Kona!"
The outline of Lola and pickle’s ears! ❤❤
Love the mermaid! Next tattoo could be the xray image of the bone you broke in your foot over where your injury was. I hear feet are some of the most painful places to get tattooed so it could put your pain tolerance to good use and remind you of how you overcame the pain of the injury! As always, thank you for the great content and inspiration!
Congrats on you're victory!!! And it's such a cool tattoo. Maybe for you're next one you can do a tattoo of you're dogs wearing the flower crown 🐶💮❤
love the new tatoo! For me the next one could be a sentence of a couple words you personally use to pish yourself?
I write on my hands when I race something that means a lot to me, and seeing those 2 words in my hands makes me push harder and sometimes people cheering scream those words to me it's so cool.
When you’ve had so many successes it’s hard to choose the best design to fit your story!!! However, as your story has been quite the journey, ups, downs, highs & lows, you could go for something like some little mountains that reflects that long journey with highs & lows, maybe a mountain each for the two doggos & Reece 🙌🏻
Hi Lucy! You inspire me so much! I am in high school and I run and I am currently starting my Triathlete journey! You should get a mini flower crown on your thumb so when you ride your bike or run when things get hard you know that you can do it! I would be so honoured to receive a mermaid 🧜♀️ light🤩🏊♀️🚴♀️🏃🏻♀️🏔️💖
So cool! For your next tattoo, I think you should get a phrase that motivates you on your quad that can be seen when you are in bike kit. Something to inspire when your head is down on the trainer, and quad tattoos are sweeeet. "push boundaries" comes to mind for you (:
love the ink! I got a mermaid tattoo in HI too. for your next tattoo maybe a splash of color and some friends trailing behind your mermaid. a fish, a crab, turtles!
I think the puppies is a great idea. I’ve always wanted a tattoo related to my puppy. I’m running my first marathon this year and may get one regarding that. Or I do love the idea of a flower crown on the iron man!
Good luck in your first marathon! That would be a great achievement to reward with a new tattoo :)
That tattoo resembles the journey so well! Congratulations!
For your next one you should get the print of lola and pickle like the one on your helmet
I have never scrubbed a video so fast to make sure it was not Sam Laidlow’s face on your arm 😂😂😂
This mermaid tattoo idea is 🔥🔥🔥I do believe that tattooing your doggos on the other wrist would be a great idea - they will always be able to support you during the race 🐶🐶
Beautiful new tattoo!!! My suggestion for your next one: “Anything is possible” in your husband’s handwriting
I'm so pleased for you, I've loved watching your journey. Since you have little dogs, you could get a pawprint tattoo each of them, and have them do it from an actual print from them.
You should do a ‘gun to tape’ tattoo because that performance was incredible but I also believe you have plans to have many more of those ❤
That’s an awesome tattoo!!
Wow the mermaid is amazing 🩵🧜🏼♀️ I would say Lola and Pickle would be nice, you’re so amazing and one of my biggest idols
You said at the start of your journey your nan/Grandmother was your greatest fan/supporter/friend/motivator, but she also gave you her DNA, which has enabled you to evolve into the star you are today. She clearly meant a lot to you. I think you should get a tattoo of something that reminds you of her i.e., a flower/sign/year of birth (whatever makes you smile and remember her) as it will give you strength, comfort, and inspiration when you need it. I am sure she has been with you by your side on your journey, never far from your thoughts. She would have been so proud of what you have gone on to achieve…. Congrats Champ.
Loved the mermaid tattoo! That looks perfect! And for your next tattoo maybe something to remember the dogs!
Love your mermaid tattoo. Think for your next one you should get 2x line work portraits of Lola and Pickle 😁 so you always have your fur babies with you
Love the Mermaid tattoo and idea behind it! 😊I think remembring that you have stickers of Lola and Pickle in your helmet? So maybe the next tattoo could be something related to them? 🐶
I recently got my first tattoo of my cats paw print on my arm. Tattoos are so personal - how about the mantra of 'Race your own race' as a reminder to keep going when races get tough 💪
Way to go! I am a dog lover and seems you are too. An idea for next tattoo would be your little doggies paw print.
This is a brilliant tattoo I have to say! 🎉 for the next one, which fortunately will be for the next world championship celebration, you could use Nice’s eagle, as the championship will be held in Nice, France, the eagle is Nice’s emblem.
For your next tattoo you should get the theme from your championship t-shirt which symbolizes the swim, cycle and run. I really like that concept and if I manage to finish my first Ironman in Copenhagen this year, I might look to do something in that style/theme. I'll be definitely getting a tattoo to commemorate that day, but first - lots of training ahead to make sure I am well prepared.
Love the tattoo idea! 😍 for the next one maybe a design of your lovely dogs 🐶 🐶 to support and be w/ you in every race as they cannot always come with u 🫶🏼
Love the tattoo Lucy.Your doggies faces/hubbys name perhaps fir the next one?
I did AG at Kona 2013 and wished I'd had the Hibiscus flower but never did.60 this year,maybe too late??!! Good luck in 2024. Carol Coole (Treacy) x
I love your tattoo. I would go for a Hawaiian themed tattoo next. A pattern or symbol that represents strength, power, and resilience. All of which you are the epitome of those qualities.
I recommend getting the crown around your Iron Man tattoo. I was walking down the street the other day and saw a guy with the Iron Man tattoo on the back of his calf and I said are you an Iron Man and he turned around with a big smile and said yes, there’s nothing better than being recognized as an Iron Man/woman
Adding crown to ironman logo sound cool.
Keep mermaid theme and add some elements and colours to existing mermaid tattoo.
Awesome tattoo 😍
For your next one I would suggest a tattoo of Pickle & Lola 😊
Love your tattoo! Your next tattoo should be your winning time 8:24:31 or Lola and Pickle paw prints would be cool or Mermaid Did It!….Here’s to a wonderful 2024 season! Cheers 🥂
Love it! Next one gotta be silhouette of the dogs
