Expert 1288 Hatboro, PA | Subject: RE: Womens Triathlon I have an easy time change of exactly 12 hours. NBC is showing the triathlon online as well as some coverage on the television. |

| SC | Subject: RE: Womens Triathlon Just be glad that you don't have to watch it with Arabic commentary. I'm overseas right now and the channel we pick up while underway showing the olympics has really good live coverage but it's all Arabic. I feel like I've watched it so much I'll learn to speak it soon. All that time wasted in Spanish class  We're 5 hours behind China right now. We change time zones atleast 1-2 times a week so who knows anymore. Anyway, just glad to be watching it and thanking myself for getting TiVo before this trip started. We can't stream video either  |

Expert 808 Columbia, MD | Subject: RE: Womens Triathlon This is fascinating to watch a triathlon with so few athletes. You can really tell them apart. And, you can tell it's all elites - they are so bunched together! This is great! |

| Subject: RE: Womens Triathlon I kind of wish there were commentary. I've got it Tivoing a lot of crap on tv, so hopefully they'll provide some. |

| Champion 8903 | Subject: RE: Womens Triathlon Hahaha, the notes along with the broadcast say it's "a wet mosh pit on the turns." I'd hardly call a couple dozen swimmers a mosh pit. An Ironman swim with 2,000 others maybe...

| Subject: RE: Womens Triathlon AmbulanceDriver - 2008-08-17 10:12 PM I want those buoys at my next race..."here, go at exactly this angle to line up for the next buoy". I know! That's really handy - might help with the usual mass chaos that is buoy-rounding at regular triathlons. Laura Bennett currently in 2nd place according to the screen. I know it's WAY early in the game. Edited by wurkit_gurl 2008-08-17 9:15 PM |

No commentary so you have to try and follow it yourself pretty much. They pop up a few notes here and there in the commentary box.
