7:21:12 Insane! Out of this world! Big Blu broke all barriers.

Crazy to bike a 4:02 going though huge puddles. Long course triathlon competition has gotten so stiff. Now in the 70.3s everyone is running 1:10 or better it's crazy!

[fabianthaesler]

An outstanding athlete entered the long distance stage, to make history even there. All other big athletes in the world are working harder now, for their chance to fight for the crown in 2022. It will be the toughest and most spectacular season so far! Thanks for sharing Kristians way!

This man is incredible. Had the pleasure to watch him win worlds in the live feed at St George. Incredible.

About 10 years ago I wrote to him in Facebook he had just 100 followers maybe.. (luckily not using FB anymore) but I wrote.. One day you will be a world champion.. Then he replied, ... What I was not expecting was.. He would become the most complete triathlete in the history.. Beast!

Norway and Finland have produced some of the best in the past . I look at the Olympic results and it is easily evident. They are back. Wow! Very impressive, the power and genetics to see today how fast triathlon has gotten.

Breaking the world record with a toilet break in between.

awesome job team. Wait until you see the pacer work with teams in the build up to get teams time trial strategy in place for the 25 minute improvement. Working with the best in the sport to refine this. The pacing work as the athletes are discovering is way harder than the solo TT power which is consistent and slower. It is interesting to follow the refinement and focus on this. It has shocked me how much harder the pacing work is. Swapping turns with limited pacers is a planning process and a difficult one at that. Stay tuned.

Continued good luck & stay healthy.
