The brothers are already on their bikes. There's 4 in the lead group, and they're 2 of them!

Long way to go yet though.

South African crashes so only 3 in lead group now, the Brownlee's and a Scot.

"Poor old Bob Gabourel of Belize just couldn't handle it. Despite doing breaststroke halfway through the second 750m of the swim he got on an official's jet ski and said 'that's enough' and was taken to shore.

Oh dear. Doesn't help the poor-mans Olympics tag now does it?

 

[Jedi Shrimper]

At least he got represent his country, good lad for having a go I say.

 

[londonblue]

Now only 2. Both the Brownlees.

Still not finished the cycle though...

At least he got represent his country, good lad for having a go I say.

Sounds to me that he probably got carried away with the occasion and tried to go with people that were too fast for him. If that is the case then the experience will be great for him. He'll learn to race his own race.

Whether I'm correct or not, I agree with you. The guy made it to an amazing international event. I bet he'll be kicking himself now though.
