Well if Tom Pidcock blew me away Alex Yee Has just gone one better (whatever that is)! He was surely done. How the hell did he do that.
The TV coverage is bloody pants.

I'm in and out of the factory today so have caught this in bits on the website. For so much of the run they were talking about silver, maybe drop down to bronze. Then suddenly a post comes up that he's blasted past the guy to win. Great nerve, great confidence in your tactics and strengths.

I love the Olympics. Really find it inspiring. Yesterday I met up with a group of 8 women I'd never met for a 32m bike ride. Well out of my comfort zone - more mentally than physically. I loved every minute and have signed up for the next few group rides :-

Just managed to watch the rowing. Have the British athletes been told "right guys, we want you to win golds, but please do it in the most dramatic fashion possible"

At least the poor Germans have to suffer the awful Adidas tracksuits. My final comment on them - taller guys (swimmers) look like they've got a prosthetic

Just been catching up. Devastating finish from Yee, rarely seen anyone so exhausted on finishing, the very definition of ‘leaving it all out on the track.
Wonderful scenes at the rowing, extremely emotional.

The pleasure comes from having done it and talking about it every time it isn’t wanted. Does he have the tattoo?
I didn’t get one, could have 3 of them. ;-)
Oh, and the longer it takes the more impressive it sounds to people who don’t know anything about it. My 13 1/2 gets more appreciated than a friends sub 9.
Imagine some people being more impressed with someone shooting 100 over someone shooting a 65.

Which ones did you do? I had a few planned but injury stopped me and then I wasn't bothered but have decided to do one next year!

Switzerland twice, then Roth. I would pick an official Mdot over a challenge any time now. Should have done Klagenfurt instead of 2nd Zurich but got the money I needed a week too late.
Also had entries for Challenge Barcelona, IM Frankfurt and IM Regensburg. Not starting is quite an expensive habit.
If you pick a nice city, at least if the race goes south, you have a nice city break.

Well done. As for the tattoo - can't quite get having a brand logo tattooed. If I'd ever done one I'd have a swim bike run type thing but not IM.
The swimming is delivering once again. The French 'face of the games', Leon Marchand has just won brilliantly, crowd went nuts. Great stuff.
