His parents moved over there decades ago to setup a triathlon camp.
Classy touch, that Lange hung around for 40 mins to welcome Frodeno home.

āMy heart is Britishā - S Laidlow, yesterday
I think that as PR though, heās proud to represent France and fair play to him either way.
Lange looked so good on the run, Iām utterly jealous. I reckon next year at Kona could be his if the Norwegians stay away.

Iād have showered, packed the car, driven home and had my feet up with Countryfile on after that time.
Anyways, Laidlow, doesnāt look like heās dual nationality from his site or Wikipedia. Think heās just French 
I didnāt realise that Laidlow came second at Kona with the second fastest ever time. Thatās gotta hurt!

I always race as āAUSā because thatās the nationality I feel closest to and the country I lived the longest in. I was the fastest Aussie at Dartmoor in a Day yesterday

TBH if itās āonlyā 30C thatās probably a lot lower than it usually is in the June/July race slot 
The sun will be lower in the sky too, so there might even be a bit of shade later in the run too

The finishing straight looked a bit āregular Ironmanā to me and not a patch on the length and grandness (if thatās a word) of Kona. There wasnāt even a Qatar air plane on a wire flying backwards and forwards. Missing a trick there.
