Any one else going up to Hyde park tomorrow (Its free)? Its also a very likely that it'll be a British 1-2 with the Brownlee's being the best at it by a mile.

    I wish I'd been to other events especially the cycling in the velodrome as Cycling is my 2nd favourite sport after footy. I was unfortunately on holiday for the free cycling events (Road race and time trail) but the triathlon will do for me and it will be great to see some more British people win (hopefully). I just wish I got some tickets!!!!!!!

    Johnny brownlee has a 15 second penalty to incur but is well placed

    Alastair is doing well up front with no penalty

    I was worried he might get disqualified for picking up that flag before the end of the race!

    They are saying its something to do with his 15 sec penalty and the lowering and raising of his heartbeat

    Reckon penalties need to be taken at the end not during the race if this turns out to be true

    I got a great spot right at the front (got their at 9:30 - 10:00) and the atmosphere was fantastic. We were just before the hairpin on the run so we got to see the runners twice a lap (8 times in total) and the bike's once (7 times). I shook hands with a Belgium triathlete just because I shouted come on Belgium during his training ride and I was chuffed to bits.

    The people from all over the world supporting their triathletes as well was incredible and the Japanese blokes opposite us were delighted when the bloke they were supporting stopped on his training run to talk to them for about 5 minutes. As for the drunken Spaniards on our right they shouting at everything. The spirit of the games overall was great and it was an experience I'll never forget.

    I've got some great pictures and video's too but I can't be arsed to upload them now but I will later.
