Beaugrand looks tired now. KZ could hold her at bay for 2k.

Really ;-)

I have giving up looking at athletes. Now I am looking at the time differences.

Beaugrand surges and passes Katie. Kasper still 3rd but Gentle coming on

12 out of 25 finished the race. I think what that means is they all received points accordingly to whatever place they finished. Those that got DNF'd, likely get 0 points.

ETA: Points are awarded 25-1st, 22-2nd etc.

Crazy format! I love this kind of racing. fun stuff

Yes this is fun racing.
I am a fan of all endurance sports and I love when the different sports are having more fun events at the end of the season.

Beaugrand 25
KZ 21
Gentle 18


Enduro tomorrow-

S-B-R x 3

Last 2 in every transition eliminated....So that leaves what 5-8 or so athletes left in final run?

Hopefully Blummenfelt has kept his shape. If so, this will be fun.

the 90 second rule was in effect from the beginning so women were getting pulled starting with the first race and going all the way into the bike of the 3rd race. i assume everyone starts tomorrow in order to allow for the 2 cuts every transition?

I think tomorrow's race is mass start.

You can win the race on the swim.

I'm shocked, SHOCKED to learn that the concept of a triathlon with a shortcut built into the course came from the mind of Chris McCormack

Runner in lead has a 27.51 10,000 pb on the track

I saw on TriathonLive that the Kate Waugh, Charlotte McShane, Des Ridenour, Sophie Chase, and Jo Brown were the ladies eliminated in the third round...any clue when the rest of the field was eliminated?
