I was definitely cheering for Alistair Brownlee, but great to see Sam Long coming from waaaay off the back and pace/claw his way all the way up to second place at T100 Miami. While it is early in the season, he beat both the Ironman 70.3 and Ironman world champion, the 2012 and 2016 Olympic champion and many more who he technically does not have as much "business" catching from such a slow swim position.
Perhaps what we saw is how much of a disadvantage an athlete like Sam is at day to day in 10m races when others benefit from athletes around them. With race ranger and 20m, Sam's engine came thru!!!
