shouldn't the Olympic qualifier be in 2016?
No, the Olympics are in 2016. Before this race happens that year.
I did the ITU Championships (as an AGer who was allowed to just sign up ) in London when it was there. It's crazy because the bike course is a bunch of short loops and get's super narrow and crowded. I had a lady coming into me so I had to stay outside to avoid her hitting me and an elite was flying up behind me yelling to move, but I couldn't without taking out the lady, myself and probably a dozen people behind me. Needless to say he and I had a very brief exchange of pleasantries as he went by me.
Anyway these races are very tight so you have to be up on your bike skills to avoid being run over or running over others. |
