Hope he does well, but being an old timer, I hate this version of triathlon, its a 10k race with a warm up. The old no drafting races were so much more exciting. Triathlon really did sell its soul to get to the olympics, if fell running got there, it would probably be insisting on steps up and a gentle descent down.
Sorry had to have my whinge, love doing them but draft free only......

Its a cracking day for armchair all-round athletics fans with the world champs starting too. Sadly I don't have time to watch every minute of it

[Al Fowler]

Cheers stagger!

Absolutely on the money biara. They might as well hose the athletes down with cold water and do the cycling on rollers

Stagger's right too, BBC coverage not brilliant

Great result AB

PS
Lets hope the beeb get a better set-up for the olympics. They were crap today.

That ozzie woman who kept saying "you know" was infuriating

Wot a result, sub 30mins 10K, ouch.
Well done AB

Here, here. I can only dream of that on a flat 10k after a gentle warm up, never mind the swim and bike!
