    Hands up, who got a bit emotional watching that one!? šŸ™‹ā€ā™‚ļø

    Imagine running to the Finnish line and then realize you're in Norway.
  • @emptychoppa
    This is what I feel like Iā€™m doing when I run 5km
  • @karlcs901
    Not gonna lie, there are easier ways to get a black t-shirt

    My kid - "Why are you crying?" Me - "Triathlon video." My wife - "Figures."

    Welcome to another episode of ā€œWhere quarantine has led me today.ā€
  • @dannnyboy010101
    The level of fitness you and the other people running this race have is so insane to me. The fact that humans can achieve stuff like this never ceases to amaze me. Super inspiring.
  • @riptydeco
    We are so used to Heather, Fraser, and Mark be these fun loving YouTube hosts that itā€™s easy to forget that they are still elite athletes.
  • @ZacchaeusNifong
    I did my first 10K on Saturday. In a strange way, it's addicting. I want more.
  • @joshp7059
    1. Amazing effort, Mark. 2. Amazing effort by your entire support crew. 3. This video should win an Oscar. Such a beautifully made production.
  • @skips8652
    I feel like when people do these type of things it really changes their lives in such a positive way not only physically but mentally
  • Imagine how good it must feel taking ur socks off after doing this
  • @rafarojas6753
    For a begginer triathlete that struggled with my first sprint a week ago...this is the most motivating thing I have gotten to watch, along with Fraser's Celtman race. I found myself with teary eyes as I wrote this. Congratulations to you guys!
  • @JimHaysom
    Beautifully edited video, congrats Mark, this is an outstanding effort. Brutal course! Massive hat tip to your support crew, especially having Fraser as your wingman for that run up the mountain.
  • @vishalb08
    "I wasn't racing for money, I wasn't racing for a job, I was racing for myself". Wow!! Such powerful words Mark. Thanks for sharing this experience with us !!!!
  • Man I just started running and three miles is killer this man got me emotional with how determined he was
  • Having a crew like this is a real god given gift. I pray everyone has such frnds they are rely on
  • @vishalb08
    Watching Fraser hug an emotional Mark at the end, reminded of the time when Mark hugged an emotional Heather after she completed Kona !!!! Heather, Fraser & Mark....you guys are absolutely brilliant. All the best for everything you do in the future !!!
  • Oh me Mark, that brought tears to my eyes - kudos to you, your first ever Ironman and you chose Norseman!! You did unbelievably well and loved seeing you in front in the water - not sure I would have jumped off that ferry! Loved the whole video and I really felt for you. Be proud šŸ˜Š
