Draft legal is kind of weird (and a tad boring). With everybody bunched up like that why not just skip the first two legs and just run a 10k. It doesn't really reflect the sport as most of us know it.

I totally agree!

Still playing live on CBC out of Canada here in the Detroit area, with commentary and minimal interruption, besides some updates on some of Canadas other Olympic athletes and a news brake shortly after they got on the bike.

Me too! It's like removing the bike from the event entirely.

Hunter is a nice guy, but if he's only 7th out of T2 he'll be lucky to finish in the top 20. How is Reed or Shoemaker doing? Gomez? Unger?

I agree, if you can't do it on your own you don't deserve to win. I know that Canada are playing as a team. It was in the papers up here and on the TV that that's what they are doing.

What about the Dane - Rasmuss or Rasmussen or whatever his name is. Can't think straight right now. I agree drafting sucks . Very unsportsmanlike even when it is allowed. And even though Gomez is a stud I'm hoping he doesn't win. I like Olympic underdog stories!

That was an amazing finish!  I miss the commentary too but my husband and daughter appreciated the silence...they are watching Transformers on HBO.  What a night---triathlon and transformers!

I don't know if I agree with all the comments about ITU racing not being a race at all.  I would imagine, having never raced such a race, the tactics, strategy, and focus it takes to maintain position in the pack is not as easy as they make it look.

Anyone out there a former crit racer that could comment?  I, myself, prefer to be all by my lonesome, but I don't think we can discredit what these guys and gals are doing as "not triathlon".

Just my $.02

I know I wouldn't agree with those comments about ITU racing.

That topic has been hashed out fairly well in the last few weeks.

Nor would I.  That was an awesome race.

Well, you know Jeep, being a newbie, I can't just jump on a soap box from the beginning.

Aren't you suppose to be sleeping?

Yes but I won't get my 8-9 hrs....unless Aidan is making breakfast...hmmmm, probably not a good idea...it would be nothing but chocolate and sprinkles.   On second thought........

Actually, shutting it down now....
