Thanks. The information about pace, gaps and splits is at least better than on the IronMan channel, still not anywhere near enough but still better, would love to see gaps, current pace and avg pace all the time, but at least an improvement to last year though still too basic. For friends of data the whole triathlon coverage is totally awful
Let me say it this way: PTO bills this as sport-changing, where everyone is "the greatest of all time and before there was time." Sam Long is a great athlete. But is Sam Long THIS much better than 19 other messianic racers? This race was hot? Apparently not too hot for the two up front. Really, the only exciting part is how many Sam runs through, which is pretty freaking easy when you've got 15+ guys who've just mailed it in. This went from racing to participating. I say all this as huge Rudy and Ben fans.
Did I miss something, or is this just a shameless money grab for Rudy, Laidlow and Ben? With performance like this, *what are they targeting? It's not like Kona prep requires walking races beforehand.

Sam fucking rules
nope
This was such an amazing weekend
Sam Long may not have won this race, but then again he sort of did. An absolute amazing athlete.
Dead on. Absolutely.
lets not forget he raced a 70.3 a week ago! and came 2nd too!!!
no he definitely didn't win, do you not understand what 2nd place means?
Somebody give Sam a better helmet and squeeze out 5-8 watts here or there and we got a champion
Long did it again! 🎉 Machine! A week after Oceanside!
Amazing work Sam Long :) See you in St.George, Utah in May
Can we have a T100 fantasy please!!! It would be amazing!
The Daily Tri website
Great broadcast guys! And even greater race.
Way to show * em Sam Long!!! You are an absolute beast....well done!!!🎉
Great stuff, thanks again!
Sam's swim was less than a minute behind Ashley's time. It shows how much faster the lead men are. Go, Sam!!!!
Over under on if they call a drafting penalty at all this whole series
Over/under when? I'm on the Over for none before race 4.
The PTO should check out Biathlon, who greatly increased their viewership and how they manage timing and splits between sections
Jan is awesome. Hopefully they can find some good commentators to work with him.
Wish a great swim coach would come alongside Sam Long🙏
some good racing.. but a few folks too close on the bike
Can any of these guys do a Sam Long?🤙🇺🇸

Can we get commentators who don't say 'you know' over and over again?
Commetary at 1.29.,Technical problem due to extreme condition in Singapore? Come on ...
might be helpful if the bottle people have a towel to dry the bottles off before attempting to hand them to sweaty-handed bikies...

They don't get money if they DNF
