Pro race chat (Tri)

I’d rather do any race on the planet she may be commentating on to not have to listen to her ever again

From London … Hammy should remember her…yes, she was pretty good…

My opening comment on every O/W workshop i do…the biggest challenge (fears aside) to O/W swimming is not sighting, but is swimming straight

Dont remember the name from the London Regional Squad (kids below academy), wasnt in a local club. Maybe she was in the London Academy and over with Optima or Thames Turbo?

Just sat in the barbers waiting for my turn.

They’ve just switched the tv just in time for the start in Leeds!

750km swim apparently

Quality piece of mis-counting the laps by Luis, will it be FB who issues the penalty for putting his feet down after crossing the dismount line, by about 50m!

”750km swim apparently”

JAYSUS :exploding_head::exploding_head::exploding_head:

I would not fancy swimming for 200 hours.

No chance I’m watching that :x:

Ha ha he is completely useless, always has been

Has Duffy dropped back to the bunch to get a restful ride and then run the others down?

ETA - err, no, probably not

Broken elbow for JB.

Also points the finger without actually naming names: “I know these things happen in sport but the racing is definitely getting more dangerous and it is down to a select few athletes. We need to look after each other better”

The commentating is awful, annie emmerson the worst of the bunch. For an ex athlete her lack of knowledge is astounding. “She needs to up her cadence on this downhill to make it count” make what count, why, how.

The lack of cameras also poor, literally followed the two frenchmen on the bike and didnt have any cameras elsewhere on course.

As for the race itself, not a fan of the course, too narrow, very technical which is not usually a bad thing but both together for me didnt work. Why did they move the run also, that hill last year at end of run when Alex won his first race was awesome way to end.
