First Discovery Vitality Run Series done and dusted!

A massive well done to all our ONE80 athletes who took on the 10km and 21km today. Whether you were chasing a PB, racing for a podium, or simply getting the job done, we’re proud of every one of you!

👏 Special shout-out to Bradley , who absolutely flew around the 21km in 1:22, finishing 12th overall and smashing out a new PB! 🚀

👏 And a huge congratulations to Tatum | Triathlon Training 🏃🏽‍♀️ , who also clocked some awesome PBs! Hard work paying off exactly as it should. 💪

The crazy part? Some of these absolute legends didn’t stop there, they still jumped on the bike afterwards to tick off their Tour de ONE80 stage! 🤯 That’s commitment!

Thankfully today is a well-earned Tour de ONE80 rest day, so enjoy that recovery ride… or better yet, enjoy a 🍩! Consider it an official donut-eating recovery day before we roll into the next stage.

Well done, team! Keep showing up, keep backing each other, and keep having fun. 💙💛

🚴 TOUR DE ONE80 PELOTON GOSSIP 🚴

Four stages in and things are already getting spicy. 🌶️ Some are racing, some are surviving, and some are apparently riding at hours when normal people are asleep. 😂

💛 YELLOW JERSEY WATCH
In the 10% Challenge, Justin is sitting pretty in yellow on 2:12:42, with Jordan chasing at +7:27 and Sam lurking at +10:27. 👀

Over in the 20% Challenge, Kelvin is holding onto yellow with 2:42:43, but Brad and Sarah are still very much within striking distance. This Tour is far from over! 🔥

🌙 THE NIGHT-OWL AWARD Etienne & Sheethal
While the rest of the peloton is winding down for the evening, these two are apparently thinking, “You know what sounds good right now? A bike ride.” 😂 Sleep is temporary. Tour glory is forever.

🔥 THE SUFFERFEST AWARD Sarah
Sarah has officially entered the pain cave and appears to have misplaced the exit. 😂 Currently sitting 3rd in the 20% Challenge, so apparently suffering is working!

⚔️ BATTLE OF THE DAY Etienne vs Dimitri
ONE. SECOND. 😳 After hours of riding, Etienne is on 3:13:13 and Dimitri on 3:13:14. That is not a gap. That is basically a wheel length and a badly timed sip from a bottle. 😂

👀 ONES TO WATCH
In the 10% race, Lea and Jarrod are separated by only 47 seconds, while Mel and Tatum have just 1:08 between them. No pressure, guys… but we are watching. 😜

⛰️ KING & QUEEN OF THE MOUNTAIN
Still to be officially crowned 👑 but after the next climbing stage, we’ll be checking who flew up the climbs… and who left their legs, dignity and possibly their soul somewhere on the mountain. 😂

Four stages down. Seventeen to go. Keep riding, keep logging, and remember: the Tour never forgets a late upload. 😜🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️

ALLEZ ALLEZ, ONE80! 💛

🚴‍♂️ Only 4 sleeps to go! 🚴‍♀️

The Tour de ONE80 kicks off in just 4 days, and we’d love to have you join us!

Meet Lida, our super hero teacher by day and unstoppable Triathlete at night (and very early mornings).

We couldn’t be prouder of how far Lida has come and has recently completed her first 70.3 Ironman distance.

Happy Father’s Day to all our ONE80 dads! 💙

To the dads chasing finish lines, cheering from the sidelines, setting early alarms, carrying bikes, handing out water bottles, and supporting every dream, today we celebrate you.

And to the dads supporting our sporty moms and kids, thank you for being the strength behind the scenes and the biggest supporters of every journey.

Wishing you a fantastic Father’s Day filled with family, laughter, and adventure.

STRAVA TAX

We’ve all paid it.

The ride was meant to be easy.
The run was meant to be recovery.
The heart rate was meant to stay in Zone 2.

Then someone came past… and suddenly you’re chasing a segment you didn’t even know existed.

The Strava Tax: the extra effort you find when you know your workout is about to be uploaded for the world to see.

Be honest… what’s the biggest Strava Tax you’ve ever paid? 👇
