Anyone know anything about that young British guy??? Brownlee?

He looks pretty good right now...

NBC commentary says he's only 20 and he's a rising star in British triathlon

Wow if he holds on his star will rise pretty fast!

So a practical question to the more experienced:  what do you focus on when trying to close a gap like that?

For me it's the shoulder, trying to maintain a good turnover and good running mechanics; then going by hard to demoralize

Couldbe a dirty fight to the end if they stay on top of each other like that - I feel like the women were more spread out last night and Snowsill stayed yards and yards ahead of everyone else.

Looks like the spanish are making a move.  They could take the top two spots if it goes well for them.

When I said AUS that included New Zealand, since Australia is just a small island off the coast of N.Z.

Do you think Andy Potts feels better or worse seeing Kemper leading the US Men?

That is some lead group!  The last lap and sprint to the finish could be amazing!

I think he would feel worse watching the "surprise" pair of Reed and Shoemaker dropping off 45 secs a lap.

I like the way all the bottles squirt up in the air as all the runners grab them at once. Reminds me of the Bellagio in Vegas.

No kidding!  Somebody forgot to tell him you aren't supposed to be able to hang with the runners in that pack.
