My sources say:
Craig Alexander, Whitfield
Emma Snowsill, Zeiger, Luxford, Mcglone

That’s all I have for now.

Looks like a good race from your sources :-p

Thanks Joel,
but that can’t be right,
because whitfield can’t ride a bike :slight_smile:

Ha… he’s not my source (yet)… it helps to know the coach of one of the women in the race, at least she calls her coach when it’s done!

Yeah, I hate when they do that! You know about the result, get excited and like the next day they call “Yeah, it wasn’t bad…” Athletes… :slight_smile:

8

your athletes looked good today! Are you still beating up my poor bf … how is he doing out there? tell him he needs to eat more … i cant believe he is going to come home skinner than he left!

His posting frequency on slowtwitch seems to have increased since he got to Victoria, so clearly he’s not doing enough training… :slight_smile:

please no extra training for him … he needs every extra minute for food consumption at this point!

Yep. Walton was chasing down his girlfriend (Emma) and was on pace to win. PUlled out after the 2nd mile of the run. He absolutely hammered the bike, knocking out 7 minutes of the 9:30 equalizer time.

I gotta be honest … hockey on TV is better than triathlon … and hockey on TV ain’t all that excitin’.

13

yes I couldn’t believe he did that. he had a nice lead…they were thinking it was injury? what an unbelievable swimmer he is. it’s inspirational.

14

He looked fine … started walking … that was it. As the announcer obviously stated, “Must be something that he thinks could be career threatening”.

He had about 3 miles worth of road to think about which clever one-liner he would used as he passed Emma.

15

I wouldn’t watch 5 minutes of hockey on tv but I watched the entire of hour of this - thinking man that’s a nice course, I’m going next year!

16

Actually I’m worried about him… Check his post here

Ranting about a pointless issue on Slowtwitch is a sign of overtraining. The Big Cheese will post later the PubMed reference on this!

There actually is a huge pile of horse shit on the driveway of the house he’s staying at, so at least he’s not at the hallucinating stage yet.

yes that post was a bit odd … it must be the training

One thing I don’t get… Snowsill loses by 53 seconds. And she was running 404’s and NOT wearing any sort of aero helmet. Does this make sense to anyone? Were any of the men (at least those who were competitive) running a non-disc rear? I just don’t get it. Joanna Zeiger gets it – aero helmet + disc. I’m not saying that something like a 999 + aerohelmet would definitely have given her the win, but it is very possible. I just don’t see why you wouldn’t want EVERY advantage possible… Would you risk $80,000 on wheel selection?

There’s horse-shit everywhere. If I hadn’t had to dodge it, I might have saved 1.9 seconds and gone under 37 around Elk Lake on my transition run… F’ing horses…
