I'm going to back the leaders to get tired. I have no idea who is who in the triathlon world but the BBC commentators are saying there are a few lesser names in that front group.Hewitt up to 15th after the first cycle lap! And the leaders' gap has almost halved.
Hamish Carter is doing the commentary on Sky. He says she's a really strong cyclist and could easily move up into the lead group, but she knows she'd drag the whole chase group with her. So she's staying back to make it easier for the other Kiwis.Woops, a third kiwi in the chase pack. Might be hard for her to recover from there. Hope she puts in a good performance nonetheless.
Huge sacrifice that, training for four years only to give up your individual chance. Seems to happen across several sports where there are individuals and teams/multiple individuals in the same event. If the other two win I hope they shout her a drink or six.Hamish Carter is doing the commentary on Sky.

Second hardest sport I've ever done.So much respect for Triathletes, got to be such a tough sport to train for.
Just starting to fade a bit towards the back of the group.Jenkins, who's apparently the favourite, is really well placed. Hewitt's still close enough.
But now she's surged back in amongst them. Hope she stays there.Just starting to fade a bit towards the back of the group.
