Tri Battle Royale (18th July 21)

The only possible way this becomes a ‘race’ and not Frodeno going for it, is if he has some kind of obligation to make it tv worthy.

I can’t see any other scenario other than Frodeno, then daylight.

Well Sanders says he will go 70.3 pace if he has to to catch Frodo on the bike so I’m pretty sure we will see them side by side on the bike one way or another, but if that is what he has to do we all know what will happen on the run and it won’t be pretty.

Yeah that sounds like a recipe for disaster!

Poor Lion has commented “I know this is supposed to be an insult but it is a compliment”

No you precious little thing, it is supposed to be a joke.

and if one of them drops out?

Then it will be the same boring, just less switching cameras.

Yes it’s Sunday - alternatively tune in Monday and watch Lionel finish….:joy:

Saw on yesterday’s gtn video that there will be a rope around 1 metre under the service of the lake so they won’t even have to sight

Cannot wait for them to go full send into this ramp

As a show, it probably won’t look much different today or tomorrow…

Yeah true, it was only ever going to be a ‘on in the background’ kind of thing.

I’m waking up for this and ignoring my family until I have to leave the house at 12. They can take their birthday cards and shove ‘em.

Jan aiming for 1.10/100, not bad I guess

Such an obvious difference in their swim styles

Great rhythm in the water but they keep cutting away. I’m counting 84spm for both.

4min gap is pretty reasonable. Nobody is holding back so far.

How hard is it to put that guideline down on the lake floor? Seems like a good idea.

Edit Jan seems to be sighting anyway.

That T1 wasn’t exactly slick!

Much better from Lionel, he’s made up some time there.

What was the event Frodo had visor trouble with previously? Took him ages to get out of T1…

If they really have refs like stated that’s a pen for Sanders in T1🙄

What, the wetsuit needs to go in a box?
