As one of the coaches at my club is forever saying, you'll never be as fast at swimming, cycling and running as the pros, but you can (if you practice) be as fast as them in transition....They're a bit quicker in transition than I am! Six minutes I took to get out of my wetsuit and on with the cycling shoes last week.
Other than that they are much quicker at swimming, biking and running.
I want to see the 'splits', as it was stated during the commentary that it was circa "30 minute pace" (for the 10K run)

Just over 31 minutes for the run for Alistair, but he eased off at the end so Johnny could cross the line just behind him, which must have cost him about 30 seconds.
One of my running club members will be very pleased indeed
He was their PE Tutor at Bradford Grammar School, where they attended
I caught the last half of the run, Gwen and Nicola playing games was bizarre, not something I've seen before in triathlon especially not on the run, has anyone seen any interviews about what they were saying to each other?
It was a shame when Gwen decided to put her foot down and spirig just couldn't match it, but I suppose it's better to go steady for silver than try to chase for gold and blow up, but you could see Gwen was really working hard.
I think that was the same thinking for Stanford and Holland, don't think they could have guaranteed keeping up with Gwen.
