Olympics 2012 - Triathlon

We are set for a fantastic triathlon with the Brownlee brothers ready to take the Olympic Course in London. The stats say they should get gold and silver, could they? would they? 11.30am we find out.....



The posters are being created....

The competitors come out the test the bike course


First sight of the Brownlee Brothers and they are in the leading group

Here come the chasing pack



We find out Jonathan Brownlee has been given a 15 sec penalty - how will they play it??

Jonathan takes on some fuel


The Brownlees are still in the leading group, lead by Hayes, who is doing a great job leading them out

Not much longer until T3 and it's Alistair battling at the front


Hayes did a fab job at the front for Team GB

When will Jonathan come in for his penalty we are almost at the running stage??

Rest of the pack come racing through

Jonathan getting ready for T3

So we are on the final stage... 10k run and its the Brownlee brothers in the lead. Still waiting on Jonathan to take his 15 secs pen.

The pack are on their tails

Lap 2, A. Brownlee, Gomez and J. Brownlee (still has 15 secs pen to serve)


Lap 3 of 4 and A.Brownlee pushes off ahead with Gomez in second. J.Brownlee will serve his 15 sec pen at the end of this lap.... we hear he has over 20 seconds on the rest  of the pack.... fingers crossed for bronze.... will he do it?


Final lap and Alistair is leading!!!

Gomez in second but who is in third????

It's Jonathan Brownlee!!!! YES!!!

Gold and Bronze!!! Awesome
Congratulations to Alistair and Jonathan 

Now to get to the gym ready for my next triathlon in London, Sept 2012.
