Laidlow walking, he actually is walking the walk 😜

Another Big Mouth Bass that can't bike and run! 🤣

Sam and Lionel running each other into the ground.

Laidlow somewhere around the 4 mile mark reduced to a walk.

It is great to see him both believe he can put all 3 sports together and the bike train get him then detonate him. I think both of these are true depending on the race.

Can Sam channel this in to performance or is Lionel going to laugh his way through the shit and rip his legs off?

Does it remind you of someone several years ago? :)
Everyone knows Laidlow now. He may not contribute to Europe’s overall win today, but he’s won on another level before the race even started.

I guess running your mouth and running are two different things after all.

What's your CdA?

Holly justified why she was picked over Emma Pallant.


Should probably start vlogging.

So apparently removing your watch before the finish if you don’t have a watch sponsor has become quite the rage these days.

I think Sam Long said that he hoped Laidlow got cramp on the run. Well he got his wish - looks like its stomach cramps for Ludlow :-)

He who understands the WHY, will understand the HOW.

Nice hug between Lawrence and Salthouse after the finish. 100% PTO-made up rivalry mmmh?

I guess, if you define ‘winning’ as having everyone think you’re a bit of a prick who habitually over-bikes and has to walk the run (see also IM UK 2021, Edmonton, I think maybe others too)

Anne Haug runs a stellar 1:04:37. Next fastest run split I see is Ashleigh Gentle’s 1:06:09.

Somewhere past 9 miles Long and Sanders side by side.

what did tamara run? i was expecting fireworks from her . . .

Tamara ran 1:06:07 so she was faster than Gentle by 2 secs.

Take a look at the support he’s received from European followers.

As today’s results show (again) there’s a lot about triathlon outside of the US.

Sanders was 20m behind Long at one point so I thought he was done but LS caught up with Long again. Whatever he does, it turns out so dramatic, exciting and fun. You can’t make this up. Actually, two big mouths in that match. Sam Long came to Slowtwitch and said LS swam slower than him but LS came out of the water first. Let’s see if he got the strongest legs as he claimed.

Heading for a Helluva finish!

Lionel kicks and wins over Long by 2 secs.

ST ain't real life lol. We'll see if he even finishes.

Yes, I’m British, so well aware of that.

Blu outran Lionel by 2:17 to post the fastest overall time by 3:05 so far. Gustav on track to have 2nd fastest overall time.

does it really matter europe wins
and sanders and long are 3 min behind the winner .
and both long and laidlow and i hope pto will learn something from it .

I have to say I like Long's post race banter about Magnus.

Lionel acted with class and brought it all back home. That was a great show.

Those of you that keep commenting that Sam Long is thin-skinned, all the trash talk is PG, everyone who has defended him is a snowflake, etc.

Remember you are only seeing a small part of the picture. Long has been taunted on social media by quite a few competitors over the past few years. At some point it has become personal. You don’t have access to his DM’s, you are not comprehensively following all the posts and different media channels.

I’m okay with being characterized as a snowflake although no one has ever called me one to my face I don’t find it an insult.

To each their own, I’m glad PTO is helping the athletes get paid, but I don’t think the mock WWF atmosphere is really serving the sport, but I imagine the benefactor and the money won’t be around long.
