I wouldn't count Lieto out. He may not have expended as much energy on the bike as he has in past years and the others may have expended more staying with him.

I did understand what you mean.... But on crowie point of you.... It s hard for a group to attack you when you are riding second on line all the time.... It s smart racing. Annoying for others but as Peter Reid told me once, at world champ you don't miss one occasion at taking a shot at your opponents mentally or physically...no nice guy...just hit!

Fun day watching anyway...should make for one hell of a war on the run!!!

once a meme catches on it can never die

lance trains harder than everyone
craig is always professional
macca is a trash talker
cav is a jerk

none of these things is likely entirely true =)

Look it's Joyce again.

can watch her all day :)

seriously... the men's race is turning epic! awful coverage

Anyone know anything about Silvia Felt?

She was out of the water in 1:12, but has really moved up on the bike. She seems to be sitting not far back of Wellington and Warriner and just ahead of Carfrae.

Is Lieto riding slower then usual saving himself for the run, or is Craig riding harder then normal and seeing what he has on the run? Haven't heard much about Matt Reed or Tom Lowe. I wonder what kind of run Jacobs has in him today. I did see of a pic that confirmed Henning did infact get his swimskin off in T1 this year.

You forgot jackmott.

She is 18 minutes down on the leader. At this point she is not in this race and camera coverage is usually reserved for those at or near the front of the race. That's just how it works in endurance sports.

Why does it seem like the only person I've seen the last hour is Rachel Joyce?

What about this post in the news feed...?

The second group of men are at 2:30 and that includes: Raelert, Boecherer and Bockel. Andreas Raelert is struggling right now - the word is that he is grimacing, grabbing his legs and sitting up a lot.

The blog has more information than even the announcers...pretty sad since they have to talk anyway might as well inform viewers about what's happening with Raelert sitting up and looking bad.

The men's race must have ended or they all dropped out.

It's as if they only have one camera on the course and it's on Rachel. Hmmmm..... Abu Dabi conspiracy?

obviously some tech difficulties...probably an issue with the flux capacitor :)

Well and now it's on Lieto so I need to shut up and just enjoy.

FINALLY they show the mens race.

Anyone know why I might be getting an application error? It says, " An error has occurred in launching the vidoe player. Please try again later."
Or better yet, how do I fix it?
I've not been on yet today - this is my first attempt.

So, if you compared Lieto to Alexander and the chase group on the run...

Sorry on iPhone anyone have splits from ironmanlive?

CW is up a minute on Rinny but still 18 minutes down to Diebens...should be interesting as well

Thanks, Tom. I've done all the usual stuff. I think it's more technical than I am.
