Women's Event

I took photos of most of the women, hoping to catch one of the eventual winner and here she is, Australia’s Emma Snowsill walking to the start after introduction.

I did not watch much of the women's race after the swimming and until the bike part was nearly over, just listening and seeing the big screens. After sampling food, I went overthe bridge to the grandstand. I took a picture from the bridge that happens to include Australia’s Emma Snowsill, the eventual winner. Here she is in mid pack during bicycle. She is 4th bike in this photo.

I watched from the stands for a while, and went down to catch the finish. Here is Emma Snowsill getting near the finish line.

Men's Race

It is hard to know before the race wo the winner will be. He is at the far left, under the "i" in triathelon.
On way to starting line

The winner, Tim Don, can be seen here in mid pack on the way from the water to the bikes with that determined look, pumping those arms and legs.

This is an early shot in the bike race. I think the winner must be behind someone in the middle of the shot.
