It shows during the last races that in difficult courses (not flat) Sam seems to have no chance getting into Top3. I love him as an athlete but that Swim deficit is brutal. Interesting to see what he can achieve going forward in the sport. 2 things I have realized during the series so far: 1. the wildcards perform very good (selection of contracted athletes a fail?) and 2. Alistair Brownlee either does not care about the briefings or gets extra money for getting drafting penalty in every race (he is a pro since over 20 years how is that possible?). Still love the format and it promotes the sport well.
I hope Sam takes up Keulen’s offer on that swim camp. That swim was outright bad. Sam isn’t a top level swimmer but 30min in 2k is way slower pace than he has swam in full Ironmans.
You can’t help but think, if Sam Long had a decent swim coach for 12-months, that he’s be on the podium in all of these races. 2km in 30 mins is 1:30/100. That is a good for an age group time, but very slow for a pro, especially in wetsuit. It wouldn’t be overly difficult to knock 10 seconds/100 off that. All then under 14’s in my kids swim club do 100’s in under 1:20. Shame because the guys bike and run is phenomenal tho
Yo Yo Yo!!! Tough start for Sam but he showed why he's a champion... Finished strong
Amazing race! Great foot race between 1st/2nd. Thanks for the coverage T100. 💪🏻
Thanks for not showing the whole min penalty 🤝

Jason West still my favorite and Sam Long still had the strongest legs in triathlon. Brownlee kid retires this year just like Javier Gomez.
You mean a double Olympic gold medalist retires? He can choose to retire any second and be a legend.
