#TeamCharlesBarclay - Sport
Hi Lucy! My wife and I are age-group IM athletes and have been following your ascendency. Barbara just commented, “Lucy is such an inspiration; her placing first at Kona is a validation that consistency and hard work pays off.” Barbara’s goal is to qualify for Kona, so thank you for role modelling excellence as well as niceness. (And we love your dogs!)
Congrats Lucy! You’re an unwavering example to keep working towards our dreams. Come to Ironman Japan!
Everything has been said and there are no words or superlatives left for you LCB. Would love to see you at North Norfolk Triathlon in the future, if they ever run it again
Congratulations, Lucy! I'd love to see you racing IM 70.3 Kraichgau!
"A bit of inspiration", haha girl you are the most inspiring person I know of! My sister and niece literally has a saying about you that they say whenever she struggles with something along the lines of:
"What do we do when it's hard?" and she will answer "Do like Lucy Charles-Barclay!"
It's the most adorable thing in the world and I really hope you know how much of an impact you've made with your amazing story of resillience!
This was fun to see...especially Lucy getting down with a slice of pizza in a gorgeous dress! Reece looks so happy and proud. What a well deserved celebration! 🎉 ❤
Congrats Lucy and the team! Loved seeing you at the KASK event. Come to Ironman Taiwan!
Really enjoyed the video, so inspiring! Would love to see you racing IM 70.3 Kraichgau again. I live nearby but didn’t expect you racing there last year because of your last minute entry. Please come back here!🧜🏼♀️🧜🏼♀️🧜🏼♀️
Well Done Lucy! we cant wait to have you return to South Africa and the Walker Bay Tri! We love you :) you are a true legend!
You are an example, so much inspiration! Hope to see you race or train in the UK very soon! Keep up those videos, love being involved in your journey!
Congratulations on your win Lucy! You so deserved it! I did my first half Ironman this year and I can truly say you’ve been one of my biggest inspirations for getting into triathlons! Thank you for always bringing humility to the sport - you have such an incredible personality that sets you apart from most. Hope to see you race in South Africa next year 🇿🇦.
Nice brazilian music on the background!! It is a sign that you should come to Ironman Brazil!!! Cheers!!!
That red bull print is so good! Love to watch you race Ironman Austria and red bull would love it too I’m sure
Love you Lucy! You’re an inspiration to all us youngsters! I think you’ll do really well at Ironman Alpe d’Huez!
Congratulations Lucy!!! You truly are an inspiration to all of us! To be honest, I would love to have you back in the USA racing! Texas again 👍🏼👍🏼
Congrats!! You’re such an inspiration.
Hi Lucy, massive congratulations on your amazing and hard earned win🎉 I've been following your videos for a while and they are just brilliant, your determination and spirit always shines through. I wish you and your family a wonderful Christmas and a restful New year... Until your training starts again. Take care and enjoy your amazing achievement's.😊
It’s so nice seeing this side of a pro athlete’s life ❤ I think a bit part of your success is being able to embrace and enjoy the downtimes and not worry about “missed training” to allow the body and mind to reset 😊
Cracking, hope you and Reece had a fabulous Christmas and New Year!
Been following your highs lows and high again for ages,bloody awesome work there girl,so glad your sponsors stuck with you 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Congratulations on your well deserved win - what a way to do it!! Your resilience and attitude is so inspirational. Love that you always talk about the ‘team’! I’d love to see you do Ironman Wales - the support would blow you away
Congratulations Lucy ! it was great to see you celebrate after so much hard work ! I would love to see you race and grace Wales x
Dear Lucy!
Congrats on finally placing first in Kona and absolutely smashing it after so many roadblocks on the way! I‘d love to see you race in Austria sometime since I saw your hip injury rehab video here at the Fuschlsee, I think you‘d love all the landscape Austria has to offer.
But first I‘d love to see you win the Ironman World Championship next year once more! I‘m sure you would crush your time once again with all that training dedication you‘ve got!
Whatever you decide to do, I‘m sure you will absolutely succeed at it, your body is so strong and your mind even stronger.
Lots of love and greetings, thanks for inspiring us all! I‘d be so grateful to win one of your Kona jerseys since I‘ve been following your journey for a long time now and even watched you winning Kona live this year, which I may have shed a few tears haha.
Lots of love!
Congratulations Lucy! You’re a huge inspiration to all of us. Thanks for your amazing videos. Really hope to see you race in Canada soon, my home country!
Huge congratulations, Lucy! What an incredible achievement for you and your team. It’s been a delight to watch your journey here on CZcams over the past few years and I can’t wait to see what you do next!
Personally, I’d love to see you come and race in New Zealand at the 70.3 world championships in Taupo. It’s such a beautiful course and I think you’d love the kiwi hospitality 😊
Congrats Lucy! It was so amazing to be able to be on the course with you this year for my first Kona. You’ve been such an inspiration to those in those in this sport and I can’t wait to see what 2024 brings you! You’ve proven then consistently and being patient really pays off. You deserve all the celebrating after an incredible performance in 2023! Best of luck racing next year….would love to see you at some US races :)🎉
Congratulations! So much work you put into this! I would love to see in Hamburg next year 😊
Amazing journey Lucy!! Outstanding patience, perseverance and hard work. You deserve it, so don't stop celebrating! Love from Australia! 🌻🥳🥳🥳
Thanks for being such an inspiration during my first season as a triathlete. You've given me motivation and strength to carry on as the training blocks became harder. It would be amazing to see you race in Ironman Lanzarote, your second home :)
Following you for this past year and a half has been so exciting and I am so happy for all your achievements, especially the super well deserved World Championship! I spent 9 hours watching CZcams live, rooting for you. You are a superstar x
congratulations on such an inspirational and so well deserved win. you are truly someone I look up to greatly not only as an athlete but also as a young woman. I raced in Kona this year as well and screamed for you as often as I could on the bike course! cannot wait to see you dominate the PTO tour and I hope to see you at the PTO US Open wherever they announce it will be!
Great Video! Huge congratulations to you and all your team! Race anywhere you want because you are the World Champion.
Lucy, Reece, and team! Congratulations on this milestone! I've been following your journey for a while now, and it's great to see you clinch the win. I've always respected the way you focused on the process more than on the result itself. And you're right - in sport and life, it's easy to skip the celebration and move on to the next thing. Glad you savored it. I'd love to see you out at Challenge Madrid! Greetings from Europe!
❤ First of all, Congratulations to you again, it was an absolute fantastic performance!!!!! Also, thank you for the video, enjoyed watching it. :) Holy is doing a great job as well!!
I would love to see you racing in Boulder CO in June. It’s an IM 70.3 race, I’ve signed up to that race as well and I’m coming back from a hamstring injury, so it is an important race, because of a future plan. So I’m hoping to get back stronger than I was before.
You’re an inspiration, good luck in the future and I can’t wait to see you in a race someday. ❤
Literally anywhere!! Such an inspiration to us all and I can’t wait to see more from you, wherever you race 🥇
Congratulations 🎉!! So happy for you, I think you are a beast and an amazing athlete!! Way to make it happen!!
Well done all around Lucy! So lovely to see the support and celebration around you, I hope you feel so cared for! I’d love to see you race in the States in Wisconsin!
I've been loving your videos and story telling Lucy. Your strength and mindset in coming back from injury have really helped me recover and get back to it after my own. Keep going! Such a deserved win in Kona. I would love to see you racing in the UK.
Couldn’t be happier for you Lucy (and TCB!), congratulations!!! Been following your journey for years now and can’t describe how much you’ve inspired me on my own IM journey. I would lose my mind if you ever raced in Edmonton Canada (if the PTO Tour comes back again), but of course, can’t wait to watch you smash it in Nice this year and defend your title. Love love love and congrats again 🙏🏻🩷🎉
Congratulations Lucy! You are so inspiring and has motivated me to start triathlon and train for my first ever half ironman. I would love to see you race in Nice, France in June before you eventually come back in September to win your second Ironman World Championship. Cheers from France
Congratulations! Was so Stoked to see you cross the line!!!
So much support from other triathletes I know as well.
We would love to have you back in South Africa for a 70.3 Mosselbay next year November.
Well done, you definitly deserved that for all the hard work you put in!! Would love to see you at the Ironman Switzerland in the beginning of July!
You are a beast! Massive congrats on finally stepping on top of the podium. A very well deserved win 🎉 I’d love to see you race in Spain!! Enjoy your time off before another amazing season ahead
Congrats to the team! You definitely reminded many of us how important it is to take the time and celebrate the success. I fell like Challenge Roth might be a good one to go back to :)
Congrats Lucy!! You’re such an inspiration to me and women in triathlon! Love to see you race on South or Central America next year!🎉
It is so amazing to see you accomplish this goal. I have been watching this channel from the beginning and its so moving to see your unrelenting dedication to the sport pay off. I would love to see race in the olympics next year! I know the distance is shorter but you can do anything you put ypur mind too. It would be an incredible challenge and experience
Huge congratulations Lucy and Reece. Absolutely inspirational, and what a journey you have been on, you have even inspired me to sign up for my very first IM event next year! I'd personally love to see a homecoming race. You have travelled (and conquered) the world in this sport. It would be amazing to see you come back to the UK (or even Hertfordshire) to do an event... back where it all began! Hope the injury isn't holding you back too much, looking forward to seeing what 2024 brings 😊
Yay!! So excited for you and the whole team - HUGE win!!! I’d love to see you take the tape at a PTO race!
Congratulations Lucy! Couldn’t be happier for a person I don’t know in person! You deserved that win, your hard work paid off! Next year I will be doing my first Ironman in Texas, so it would be nice to see you there!
You are such a warrior! I’ve been in this sport for 20 years and the last 5-10 I’ve been riddled with injuries. Watching your journey on the run at IMWC was such an inspiration to me. Thank you for inspiring girls and women of all ages, and being a model of kindness, dignity, humility and grace.
Please come to the U.S. to race this year! Would love to see you dominate out at one of the tougher courses, like IM Lake Placid or the St. George 70.3.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and enjoy your last weeks of off-season. ❤️
Well done Lucy, you are truly an inspiration. Many many congratulations on your World Championship win at Kona.
Huge congratulations Lucy! So good to see you celebrating and enjoying your monumental win. I'd love to see you racing Challenge Roth next year. Happy training
wow what a journey, from crying in the cold tab to WC. you deserve every bit of that celebration, looks very cool, well deserved.
Congratulations Lucy CB - very much a well deserved win. Love your focus, sharing your pro knowledge and your genuine nature - thank you for taking us with you! I’d love to see you at Busselton Western Australia Ironman this coming year!
Congrats Lucy!! Super proud of you💪🏻💪🏻 Hope to see you come back to Singapore to race🫶🏻
Congratulations Lucy! You’re a huge inspiration. Thanks for your amazing videos. Would love to see you in sunny South Africa
Very well deserved! Thanks for keeping this channel busy and updated. A great little motivation tool. I would love to cheer you along at IM Wales as I'll be there supporting a friend with our two dogs in tow. They'd give you a woof-woof too, no doubt!
Greetings from Bulgaria! You are such an Inspiration for me - although I’m not coming from sports, i want to do more and I was very excited and proud to see you never surrender and finally get your well-deserved win in Kona! What a 2023! Finishing Triathlon is the best thing to happen to a person.. so I wish you could go to the place where you finished your very first one and rewind how it started vs how it’s going now that you are a World Champion 🎉
So well deserved. So happy to see you are enjoying life after winning the most well deserved world championship
Congratulations! You are amazing and you inspire me every single day! Nice France!!

Thanks for being such an open and honest athlete in our sport. I saw you on in Kona in 2022 heading in to take 2nd place with such a gutsy performance after a challenging year that it inspired me to push to finish a not so pretty day on the island myself that day. Your win in 2023 is a testament to the core of being a champion, its about showing up , doing the work you love and believing in yourself.
Congratulations Lucy 🎊. Well deserved. I have been following your journey since 2020. You mettle is praiseworthy. Would love to see you race in IM 70.3 Taupō in New Zealand ❤🎉

Huge congratulations and you are such an inspiration. Personally I am doing Challenge Roth next year as my first full distance and would love to see you back there again.

Lucy, I loved this video and your channel! I started triathlon this past year, racing with my university club team. I’m absolutely loving it, and I’ve been so inspired by you for years.

You're an inspiration for all female (and male) athletes out there! Thank you for sharing your story with the world - the ups and the downs. Congrats on the huge win this year! So special to be able to accompany you to the end. I'd love to see your race Oceanside this coming year so that we can cheer you on in person! 🎉
Hard work and not quitting always pays off. Congrstulations Lucy and the whole team, doing this alone would be impossible, so glad you found a great group of people and brands that supports you all the way.

Congratulations Lucy on your Amazing win at Kona 🏆. You are a HUGE inspiration to me and my sister and I would love if you came down to race in Australia.
I have been following your IRONMAN journey since you posted the pain cave video during Covid and it started my journey to compete for IRONMAN as well. What an amazing accomplishment to win Kona and such an inspiring journey to follow you from Kona to 1st 70.3 world Champion to a few injuries and to Kona champion. Sadly, I didnt see you in Finland this year where I qualified the 70.3 WC.
I would love to see you race in some of the Asian races in Korea, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia. You have a very so fan base in Asia if you didn't know. I would love to compete with you at a same race in Asia where I will meet you at PTO Spain next September.
Congratulations! Such an exciting win from gun to tape! Would love to see you in the PTO series next year!
Dear Lucy, so happy for you and Reece! I’m an age grouper and you’re an inspiration for me and I can guarantee to a lot of us age groupers. Thank you for your sharing and I wish you a Wonderful Christmas a Happy New Year! Oh, and you should definitely come race in Portugal Cascais!
Congratulations Lucy!!! Tempe, Arizona USA! It’ll be my first full Ironman!
Amazing video once again! Glad you’re well rested! Would love to see you race in Asia or USA. Such an inspiration to all 💪🏻😊
Congrats Lucy! That is a well-deserved break and I hope you will come back with a stronger performance next year. It will be a great inspiration to see you racing in Asia and I would love to see you at the PTO Asia Open in the future.
What a journey and celebration!
Quality video 🎉
Congrats Lucy ! You are an inspiration! Hope to see you race Ironman Texas this year
A Massive Congrats to you and the team! I absolutely loved seeing how your crew got to share in the post crowning celebrations with you. I do think that a trip to the Southern Hemisphere, in preparation for World Champs in December would be in order, and nowhere better for a great start to 2024, than Sunny South Africa for sure. Well done again and hope to see you this side.
Congrats Lucy you’re amazing! Come to Busselton Western Australia!!
