Making athletes run the loop around transition has always made me laugh.

Not even close, and the course looked fast today too. Not as fast as the swim course though..(-;

I totally agree.
Ryf=winner

it's actually gonna be a race all the way to the podium

Weiss dismounted with his bike shoes still on!

Train to race. Race to win.

Tim O'Donnell needs more American Flags on that kit of his. I wasn't sure what nationality he's representing for a moment there.

Shoes, he can fit more on his shoes.

Weiss just done with his job. Some exciting run in perspective.

It seems stupid on the surface, but it is so that all athletes cover the same distance in transition. At least for T1, it makes sense since everyone has to pick up a bike. T2, there could just be a hand off of the bike and then everyone just cuts across to the change tent.

Will be interesting to see the mile 1 split and how many have sub 6 min opening miles and >7.5 min closing mile.

ankle socks weren't they?

An odd thing to say about bozzones face by ML

Did u see weiss coming into transition? He didnt even leave his bike shoes on the bike as he dismounted... Either he's disoriented AF or he's going straight to DNF ville.

Kienle and Frodeno take it out running hard!

Sanders has left the bike course

You mean fastest so far.....Lionel ought to slot in there somewhere

I'd say both... he pimped out his new bike, mission accomplished. Time for some cookies, coke and an IV.

Looks like Potts crashed on the dismount.

Looks like he crashed at the dismount line. Holding his low back, glute. Ouch!

yeah, that was crazy-then the announcer says he 'looks good'...I'm not so sure
that right leg looks like something's up..

FVL first P5x, about 5 minutes back. Any P5's in front of him?
