This page starts with coverage of the womans race and is followed by the mens event.

 
 
 

 

 

 

These great images are in sequence of the days events.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Decided to let the photos tell the story of the day by themselves.

Have let the images tell the story.

The only thing I would like to add is the re-emergence of 3 times world champion triathlete Peter Robertson to the scene.

So here is wishing him all the best of luck on his olympic quest.

Have met and raced against him on one occasion and he is a great all round triathlete. If he is near the front after the bike he is certainly hard to beat.
