You can see that mashing taking its toll: standing up. Morrison has a great position but for a long flat course, cadence is your friend

I guess I shouldn't be surprised at the amount of whining the ST crowd is doing about the race commentary.,,....and those who say they shouldn't talk about the basics have clearly never read the comments of people following triathlons on FB.Holy shit it never ceases to amaze me how little some of the average punters know about the sport across all of the various distances and race organizers.

That's interesting. For me, my heart rate is always low on the bike, no matter what I do. It's much better for me to spin more, muscle it less- slightly less metabolically efficient, but keeps my legs in better form for the run. I'm sure there are some people for whom that's not true.

starting to talk context now, and the race holistically. Haug far back in their view, but we don't know what will happen to the women up front yet. Germans need to work together.

Norden has had a ton of run injuries over the past couple years

Belinda Granger transitioning into race situation and dynamic... perfect timing and good analysis.

Philip and Haug running from behind, Findlay running from the front, with Lawrence 2min down right now as a dark horse / 'tweener.

Haug falling back pretty quickly now...

Yeh I'm thinking she's looking good for this. Got a feeling her run form may be better this year.

Instead of or in addition to the country flag, the should have a graphic of the sponsor color or something on the placings graphic so you could immediately connect it to the athlete. Or maybe have the athlete's name on their hip or side. Or maybe have their name in the placings graphic be backed by their kit color. I have the first few figured out, but it'd be good to have a quicker visual connection.

I'm looking at it differently... I see Haug and Phillip working together and trying to hold serve until the run starts. 3min down...

Any thoughts on Oliveira (fast ITU) or Morrison?

Anyone any inside info on what's happened to Spirig and Stimpson?

I would love to see Challenge take the opportunity in 2021 to get a greater foothold in North America. Seems like the time is right.

Nick,

I've come to conclusion that in any population there is 5% - 10% of people who literally NEVER be happy. THIS is the best triathlon broadcast quality and production outside of the Olympic Games - full stop!

This seals it for me. Super League Triathlon needs an arena for competition. Not the one they used for the virtual races....but a legit arena. Maybe a pool, inside of a track, inside of a velodrome on a smaller scale.

My thought here was that I would love a change of scenery and a dynamic course...but that just makes the filming so much harder.

I remember tri ‘gurus’ arguing that we should all be above 90 cadence because bike pros were 😂

Nordans run is getting better since she is with Seipp but it's still a work in progress .
Findlay is racing smart . But I have to say phillip looks very relaxed...

Findlay a) not letting Norden slip away and b) never standing whereas Norden is starting to stand

These folks needed to have prepared for flat TT'ing: it's relentless. The ITU boys are going to suffer. Sanders, Sam, Rudy, Keinle, they know how to stay aero and the distance is nothing for them. These low cadence folks are going to suffer towards the end of the bike.

There is so much saddle movement in the now 3rd place Kim Morrison. Hell of a ride but damn that's gotta get sore.

Take a short break from ST and read my blog:

70-80 rpm is where it's at! LOL

You obviously don't watch a lot of ITU or Superleague??

LOL, never do what a pro does

Oliveira decent ITU racer maybe Top 30 in her day. Now focusing on longer stuff.

that's what I'm saying... in ITU she wasn't much of a biker and as an ITUer she can run, so I'm liking that she's only 2min down on the bike right now...
