Wowowowow!!!!! Brownlees RULE! Ali FLEW that race and walked over the finish line with a union flag in hand. Johnny is a LEGEND! Did a 15 sec penalty and left the penalty box in the same place he went in. WOW! BRILLIANT! All I want to do is go out and train. BLOODY HELL. Inspirational!
Triathlon is going to get POPULAR in the UK now I reckon!
I just cant imagine how much they were suffering on that run, The effort/pain on Alistair's face running out of transition and it didnt change the whole way around.
Wonderful result! Just can't help thinking it was a shame so many left the stands before the delayed medal ceremony, Jonny needing medical attention after the finish (many of us have been through that,eh?). Why didn't the organisers allow some of the standing spectators in to take the empty spaces?
What a brilliant day! Great to see the Brownlees in action, good to meet up with people again and a lots of beer afterwards too. Perfect day out. Watching the medal ceremony in the pub with everyone signing the National Anthem was superb.
I just heard in an interview with Alistair Brownlee that he ran the Tri 10K 1:20 slower than Mo Farah's winning 10K time!
Amazing given it was post swim/bike and what could be described as an offroad run, no athletic track bounce etc. Would so love to see him head to head with Mo on the track.

You would soon discover that tracks are accurate and tri courses are not
Amazing performance from both of them. To have a penalty and come out where he left is incredible. We have some TV screens in the office and I managed to get most of the few people who were there watching and cheering along with me
Having a triathlete as an expert commentator was brilliant too, for once some useful and insightful comments.
Great day out yesterday only sorry I couldn't stay for beer o'clock due to being with other friends..... Mind you looks like there are going to be some sore heads today
Didn't realise you guys would be out that late... great effort! Had a great day, great spectating, great fun... pity I had to run off after just one beer but at least it was to go and watch the Athletics over at the stadium
After doing a quick google search - which we all know is always accurate - it would appear that Mr Spartan is correct, it certainly was announced that Hugh Jones measured the course (if he did or not is another matter! )

Jelly Bean is on his way - I've told him to look for you by the gallery.

I think I need to try harder.
GO TEAM GB
Also the crowds were amazing, a real testiment to the Triathlon and the whole Olympic support accross the country
Jonny is with medics - they are delaying the medal ceremony. Exhausted.com.

It was, but everyone wants to take up dressage now. We're a fickle lot, you know.
Halfords will be stocking horses next week, mark my words.

Meldy wanted to buy a Harrods picnic instead of going to the pub. Maybe she just wanted to check out the horses!
I missed medal ceremony, anyone found a link for it?

Mo would kick his arse. Much like Ali would kick Mo's arse in a tri Stick to what you're good at I say
The best thing I've watched so far. Soooo inspiring.
Definitely not an off-road run by any stretch tho' Barley.

Plus he wasnt wearing spike

I finally closed the front door at 2.10am - feeling a little fragile this morning!
Blimey you really did have a session! I was struggling after just 2 pints, so obviously need to train more.
Schmunks - We signed the NA in semaphore. It was subtitled on the telly too.
wasn't it announced that Hugh Jones (of London Marathon measuring fame) had measured the Hyde Park tri run course and pronounced it accurate
