Andrew Horsfall-Turner making a good go at it early on
Yes, it’s a sort of M shape.

4 hours in , has the makings of a bit of an Ironwar ?
ETA, is it too early to start predicting finish times? I reckon a sub 10 looks likely for @funkster if no mechanical or melt down. If he holds 5h bike pace & add in transitions, would need to run about 3h15 to break 9h30- obv he is a class act who has done the training, but even so that would be an exceptional run to pull out of the bag. Think I’ll go with 9h48. Hope all the TT guys nail it

It’s getting quite hot here now. Run will be interesting.

Funksters going really well.
It’s going to come down to heat management though isn’t it. The prospect of that hot marathon wouldn’t be filling me with joy!

Would hope his ninja suit training might help but possibly too long ago

Reckon he had to do a pit stop. Matt flew through transition. I wonder if they’ll run together.

I’m not watching this on Facebook but spotted a clip of the pros in tri suits and swim skins, I know they have different rules but was it non wetsuit for the Agers?

AG’s were allowed wetsuits, just. But probably not for the pro’s

Thought that might be the case

Wow, check out the new M50 leader, 29k down and he’s on for a 3:01 marathon, WTF!
Could sneak a sub 9 as well and bear in mind the bike is 3K long.
@Matthew_Spooner some motivation here

Who is it though?
An ex-pro cyclist doper?

More likely an ex runner at that pace, although I think he swam 54 and biked 4:49
