“Love It or List It” star David Visentin is feeling the love from concerned fans in response to a new post on his Instagram account.
In the video, David explains that he just completed a five-mile run in 90-degree heat. “And now it’s time for a cool down,” he tells the camera before stripping down to his shorts and hitting a nearby beach, where he plunges into the cool water.
David captioned the video, “Hot run, cold plunge—Barrie Triathlon prep is underway! Big thanks to Multisport Canada for putting on this great race every year! Who else is in? Let’s go! 🚴♂️🏊♂️🏃♂️”
Fans were quick to comment about running in the heat, with one writing, “I’m so impressed. Great David! The heat is defo scary though. It has been so hot. Be careful. 🫠”
Another commented, “Ooooof!!! Thats a hot day to run David!”
And another admonished, “Beeeeee carefull running in that heat😬….I for one selfishly want to still see you on my favorite show!!”
David Visentin Is Training for the Barrie Triathlon
David Visentin is braving the heat to log those miles as part of his training for the Barrie Triathlon.
The race takes place August 9 and 10 around Lake Simcoe in Ontario, Canada.
That’s the same lake David plunges into at the end of the Instagram video.
And chances are, the Canadian lake cooled him down pretty quickly. According to MultiSport Canada’s Barrie Triathalon’s website, “Water temperatures tend to be in the 18-22C (64F to 72F) range, so wetsuits will very likely be optional for this event, though recommended.”
The Barrie Triathlon includes a 750 meter (about a half mile) swim, a 20 kilometer (approximately 12-and-a-half miles) bike ride and a 5k (about 3 miles) run.
David Visentin Seeks Advice in Triathlon Preparations
David Visentin just turned 60-years-old on June 28 and recently celebrated “Canada Day” with his 90-year-old dad.
In the comments of his Instagram post about training for the Barrie Triathlon, triathlon coach Zeus Arreguin commented, “Loved you before but even more now that you do triathlon 🙌”
David responded, “@zeusarreguin you’re a coach! So tell me…is running in that kind of heat a good idea? I near melted! Thanks for the support!”
Arreguin replied, “@davidvisentin_official Haha, not at all, just have to run responsibly! Keep the runs short and slow down the pace. Lots of sunblock! I see you have a hydration belt but your bottle is still full. Keep the liquids down and put an electrolyte in there. 🙌 Can’t wait to hear how your race goes!”
David continues to film new episodes of “Love It or List It” with new cohost Page Turner in Toronto, Canada.
