Um, it's tradtional to put a spoiler warning in a post like this for
people who haven't seen the race yet. It won't be broadcast in the US
for another 12 hours or so.

I'm assuming that's per K average, not per mile? <g>

ye also helps when you don't have to do any work on the bike just sit in the
pack and get towed around
Loretta did all on her own she should have the gold just for her effort.

There may be an olympic swim/suckwheel/run race on tv tonight, but it's NOT
triathlon.

Ahh if only the Australian selectors had selected Craig Walton, then
there'd be no wheel sucking in the men's (at the front anyway). I'll
still be watching it though.

not wrong would luv to have seen that was just talking about that with my
friends

What horrible coverage of the race. Haven't raced in 5 years or been here
(rst) in a long time. Kind of cleared out in here huh? what is the state of
Triathlon today anyway? I hope the trend towards draft legal racing has not
continued as it was a few years ago. The same Jackass running the show at US
Triathlon? Hope you all are enjoying fast injury free racing and training

yeah, tell me about it... why would the Olympic tri allow drafting, so
unlike the rest of 'em? ARE there other instances of drafting-allowed
tri's?

still, a cool finish... much like that by my fellow Canuck, Simon
Whitfield in the 2000 Games

That is confusing. Is she an Australian-Austrian?

I was at the Sydney races in 2000, and the races were bloody BORING.
A moderate swim, a lackluster bike leg while they all rode around in a
big pack (crashing occasionally just to keep the spectators awake I
suppose), and then the real event (a 10k) started. Yawn.

As my friend pointed out, the Olympic version is just a 10K run for
people who can swim and bike.

The Olympic triathlons were draft legal because they were conducted
under the auspices of the International Triathlon Union
(http://www.triathlon.org). Check out the official Athens '04 tri site
for some great details about the sport.

Whether you agree or abhor the television coverage, the actual races
or the rules under which they were conducted, it would seem that these
are exciting times for our sport. Athens '04 was only the second time
triathlon has been a medal event at the Olympics. The coverage ---
highlighting an event with a distance within reach of many people ---
only stands to broaden its appeal and bring more people to triathlon's
front door. This, in turn, could help increase the number of races,
lower race fees as well as USAT membership fees. Perhaps, and this may
be just a pipe dream, our legislators and members of congress could
find it in themselves to devote more of our financial resources to
improve roadways to make cycling safer, to clean our waterways for
better swimming and to establishing more parks and lessening vehicle
traffic to bolster running.

Unfortunately, many of these people will behave as if drafting is legal
because they saw it on TV.

And I suppose you consider that middle section of what USAT puts on to
be a race?
