  • wes hobson

  • lmao. this is halarious...

  • Freakin hilarious lol

  • it helps further to train in a lake with crocodiles

  • My wife has come out of triathalons with fingernail gouges in her wetsuit and tales of people grabbing her ankles and swimming over her back. Her most recent 1/2 Iron earned her a blackeye.. well into the swim. Her swim team actually practices these sorts of things, having a small horde share a lane in the pool and practice shoving their opponents away via hand-on-hip. Hairy sport.

  • hah, this should actually be a good training

  • loved it!!!

  • too whacky not love!

  • Thats pretty much how it was turning the buoys at Ironman CDA. Except it was elbows, hands and feet to the face instead of padded sticks. HAHAHAHA FUN STUFF

  • my tri coach sent me this clip as part of my prep for my 1st tri - cool - tri swimming is a contact sport...

  • The BEST commercial ever!

  • hahaha funny because it's TRUE

  • hahaha very original

  • I wish I could have seen this before my first triathlon and realized it is true.

  • at the end you can hear a guy yell, "Not Safe!" hahaha

  • HA! Captures the moment perfectly!

  • that really is about what it's like. you're trading stories 5 minutes before. then the gun goes off and and they're pushing you under

    rly funny xD

    5*

  • haha this is so funny yet so true. its pretty chaotic at the start of the swim. 2 yrs ago i started off my first ever tri and got kicked in the face o.O

  • LOL - I've been watching start videos to prepare myself, and wondering whether I should actually take this guy's training to heart! Maybe I could get my kids to whomp me as I run into the lake...

  • This is fantastic. It just made my day. I love at the end you can hear him yell, "For God's Sake!"

  • Lol xD

  • Sooo hilarious! I've only ever done pool swims... Doing my first lake one in 2 weeks though!

  • That was funny as hell

  • this is the most awesome thing ever!!! haha

  • I love how the the guy holding the horn gives him two good whacks and THEN blows for the start. Plus, the big guy acting as a blocker at the shoreline...priceless.

  • Ironman start is like trying to swim through a boxing match... with 2500 people!

  • Wow! I'm competing in my first tri in August.  I didn't realize it was that brutal! I did laugh though. I suppose I'll appreciate this clip even more after August, eh?

  • That was identical to my heat @ Wildflower 2008 HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  • I have tried to describe to people what it is like at the start of a tri, and have yet been unable to convey the full brutality of it. This video will totally do the job. Nicely done.

  • Great

  • hahahaha. awesome.

  • it's soooo true:D i hate starts.... mainly if we start together with men

  • In my Ironman Triathlon career I must have lost 4 Timex Ironman Triathlon Indiglo watches before I even got out of the water!! I laughed so hard when I saw this video. I did the Ironman when I was 17, I told them I was 18. This was back in 1990. Does anyone know if anyone under 18 has ever finished under 10:45? I went on to become a Coast Guard Search and Rescue swimmer.

  • Good reason to start in the very front or the back. I think I had flashbacks during that. :)

  • haha, no better way to replicate it!

  • haha this is hilarious!! clif bars are the best :)

  • Whereas this is true - there are exceptions. Gotta give a wrap to the '07 Western Australia Ironman competitors who were very considerate.

  • LOL OMG so true...hahahahha

  • LOL best commercial ever if you are a triathlete.

  • yess...that's why you sprint the first hundred

  • so effing great!!! LMAO!!

  • Funny!

  • damn,

    this is sooooo true..

    hate the begining of the races.. xD

  • LOL! Excellent!!

  • look at 0:14 where the guy actually cracks the paddle in 2 when he hits him!

  • this video is so true

  • There is an other way to prepare to the swim start: training with water polo players...

  • hahhha so true.

  • Ouch, that awful triathlonstart... but I love it... :o) The secret is not to kick back but swim on and on as fast as you can in the washing machine.

  • HAHAHAHA, that was great, cant be more true

  • That's just awesome. It cracked me up!!!

  • Excellent ... laughed so much I was in tears ...

  • well , yes it is I veryfied yesterday on antella Spain I play waterpolo in wintertime and I used some "ilegal" things to continue swimming

  • best tri commercial EVER!!

  • This cant be more true!!!!

  • haha!

  • So funny yet so true. He needed to have had someone kicking him in the face, pulling at his feet and another clawing at his face whilst pulling off his goggles to get the 100% experience of the Human Washing Machine triathlon swim start.

  • HAHA, I know how you feel! Haha

  • ppl still do tris?

  • LOL! This is just like the real thing. Ha, Ha,
