Wow! That was amazing and so exciting! We ended up getting the Silver, but it was soooo close! I was sitting here with my fingers crossed and yelling at the TV cheering Simon Whitfield on!
That was a great race!!! I was watching it live online. Simon Whitfield is a great competitor! Age isn't really that important in triathlon - you have plenty of top athletes in their 30's. Ironman triathlon which is the ultimate has people in their 80's still doing it!
I looked at the women's winning time - 1:58. For comparison, my best time over the same distance was 2:58 - 1 hour behind.
