I just noticed that. No one is 12m. No one is 6m. That's ridiculous.

They are reporting "sore back".

Looks like T O'D needs to be the breadwinner today. On track atm, legs look thicker imo. Seems to have put a lot of work in on the bike

Sanders just overtook Jordan, for the 34th place. He's slowly moving up ...

Tim Don has gotten a penalty.

Someone might want to have a consult with Jodie Swallow regarding wearing tighter fitting clothing. Her tri top is like a parachute.

Can we get together some money to buy Jodie Swallow a tighter jersey. She gets to go faster than that ridiculous parachute thingy she's got now. We get to see her in a tight shirt. Win Win

Please zip up your top Jodie, blowing like a parachute! What is that costing her?!!

I was just thinking that. Even some of her lettering and deco is flapping away and she has it unzipped!

Look at Swallow's unzipped jersey flapping in the wind.

Gutted for Don. I really like him, he is always very upbeat and I love his running style. I would love to see south London on the podium!

good job Scott did all that wind tunnel work on the Plasma 5 she's riding LOL

Heather Wurtele just posted this:

Alternating between sobbing inconsolably and swearing a lot...
I woke up today feeling so positive and so ready. I've worked very hard to learn to perform well in the humid heat of Hawaii, and I finally came to truly believe that I could perform well at the world champs here in Kona.
I swam the best I ever have! Out of the water 4 min down from the lead!! (I've had that big of a gap in a 70.3 before) and I just felt on fire even running through transition. Was on the bike stoked to do my thing... then.. coming down Kuakini...uhhh...my rear derailer just wouldn't shift. My Di2 battery was fully charged, my front shifter worked... but I was stuck in the 11. I started running my bike up the steep hill on Palani.. tech support came to help but all they could do was lock the derailer in an easier gear. I stopped further on the highway after getting too frustrated with spinning out, tried taking connections apart, putting them back.. nothing. Biggest race of the year and my day was done.
I'm trying not to torture myself with what-ifs and trying desperately to feel like I WILL have my day here, but mostly I just feel devastated. Thanks for all the well wishes beforehand. Super bummed to disappoint.

Looks like she has opened her zipper

so 120km of the bike, and there is a group 2nd-14th behind TO ... not normal, usually it's broken up by now, no?

Will be really interesting.

Rinny out!

I wonder if her sore back is due to that accident she had the other day.
