    Anyone else delighted to see Vicky Holland win it?
    And on a broader note, who is following the series?
    Spirig is a swiss army knife

    I'm following! Not so sure about the increased number of events. I usually find less is more for maintaining interest, but we'll see how it goes...

    Brownlee's run was very impressive.. looked like he was dying for about 8k then just blows it out of the water..

    Alistair Brownlee is the triathlon equivalent of Damien Duff, looks wrecked from the very start of the race but keeps going.

    I was hoping spirig would transform into a super swimmer in her year off ITU. Instead she's going to be a big help to Jorgenson if Gwen doesn't make the front pack as she still looks like the best cyclist out there judging by yesterday

    Nice win for Brownlee, although Javier looked a little bit better than recent times as well

    Just watched it there now. JB awesome as usual. Winning an ITU race and saying "I'm not fit" :eek:

    What did ye make of the last 400 around the track?

    I watched the mens race last night. Very dull. Granted the 10k was hugely impressive from Brownlee but the race as a whole was quite dull.

    Was Murray injured in the last couple of kms or did he just run out of gas? It also looks like the last few races have taken their toll on Mola.

    Is that 2 years in a row now the swim has been shortened there? Will they have a race there next year?

    Spirig made the front pack in London. I dont think Jorgenson will win in Rio if she does not make the front pack. . Is Stanford still injured?

    Will be interesting to see how they play that come Rio - the US have a shedload of medal contenders regardless of Gwen. Will they be expected to drop back and help her if she doesn't make it - suppose its a long way away yet! I actually hate Olympics year, ruins the ITU races as they tend to take second place once they have qualified

    Non is back next race I think - judging how her room mate Vicky went she might go well - she was the best runner out there outside of Gwen last year
