EPTGood to see Lemaitre looking good, was disappointed not to see him run the 100m but hopefully he can be a medal contender here.

Edit: So the best runners always win in the end? I mean, even if you're a superb swimmer, you're never going to get enough of an advantage to carry you through both biking and running. And excellent bikers attacking still have to deal with a chasing "peloton" and possibly run out of steam for running by going solo on the bike. | ||

If you are an excellent swimmer you will be able to get a very good placement before the cycling and that is extremely important! Being good at cycling is more or less completely unimportant. Sure, you can save some power, but after it was made legal to take pace, it is mostly irrelevant. The running would be very important, no matter what since it is where you can make the big differences. | ||

Haha yeah we won a bronze last night because we got lucky when they picked the balls out and we got to defend lol. I thought being the one in the defensive position was supposed to be a negative thing... Every match ends this way, this sport needs to go. | ||

Why don't the competitors ever petition for a rule change then? Seriously, I'd hate competing in anything where I go home knowing you lost a coinflip and that's why you lost. | ||
