Morning all. Looking forward to a day of Tri.

Would love to see Joe Skipper and Jan Frodeno on the podium, but have a hunch today might be a day for the Frenchmen :fr::baguette_bread:

Just woken up and on the stream. Any Maurten moves yet?

Lots of talk that no one is going to go out hard on the swim, all the best swimmers would keep their power dry for the bike and run. Seems to be playing out that way.

No maurten moves as of yet! There was a brief mention of Didlevs bike earlier as he has a dropper seat post on his TT bike. Will be good to see how he descends with it later.

Looks like Fordeno leading the swim at 1.7 miles, Laidlow on his feet. Wurf in lead group. Skipper in a group 2:30 down.

What’s with Currievs weird stroke. Bent, tidy right arm entry then this wild, straight arm swing of the left.

Obvs effective though.

He’s been watching old footage of Dirty Harry Wiltshere?
