Coach  10487    Boston, MA |  Subject: RE: Womens Triathlonmax - 2008-08-17 9:40 PM still 20 on the lead pack after 2 loops, although the chase group seem to be pushing hard...That hill doesn't look long enough or hard enough for a big attack, say on the next to last lap, for a small group to get away. Not like the one in Athens four years ago, now that was a killer hill.

Champion 26509  Sydney | Subject: RE: Womens Triathlon amiine - 2008-08-18 12:42 PM kaqphin - 2008-08-17 9:35 PM I would assumed team USA or Australia would have done that for the women as well. Been a hilly course I think what the men teams will do is to make sure the best runner makes it to the 10K with the lead pack but that is just my guess.Mens race work more as teams... will be interesting to see if those tactics come into play up the hill to get a win for the country! (riding like a tdf team) Thats whats so strange... the Australian mens team have run that tactic for the Comm Games picking a good cyclist to leade out the pack etc and (rumour has it) will be running that tactic for the mens race so its odd that they dont apply the same principles for the women... |

That hill really seems to be helping keep the lead pack small though... |

Coach 10487 Boston, MA | Subject: RE: Womens Triathlon max - 2008-08-17 9:48 PM Still 20 That chasing pack has more incentive to work together and get back on with the lead group.

 what's a bit strange to me is that the strong cyclists are not using the hills to put preassure on Fernandes and Snowsill. If they both get to the 10K on the lead pack I dont see how any other gal can challenge them on the run. |

Veteran 228 Greenbelt, MD | Subject: RE: Womens Triathlon Looks like the lead group has opened up the lead a bit on that chase group. They looked closer last lap. |

If they both get to the 10K on the lead pack I dont see how any other gal can challenge them on the run.They are going fast enough that they are pulling away from the chase group though. I agree, someone has to attack on lap #5 to try and get away. Awful hard to do though without a serious hill. |
