KieranR 1,889 Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 I hope Nathan does well, I rode 200 km with him the other week, he's looking very fit. I think he was initially eyeing off busso but he mentioned that as it started to heat up up here recently he adapted really well so he and his coach thought lets give Malaysia a crack.

From Grochys FB from China Quote A disappointing performance for me on Sunday that was quite simply not at an elite level over that distance. Congrats to Crowie, Max and Jesper for putting on a clinic off the front.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Well done to Rocky and the team at Zhongjian Sports and 2862 Triathlon Series for hosting an incredible event. It was an honour to be able to race the first nationally broadcast triathlon in China. The support and experience you provided myself and the other professional athletes was exceptional and I’m already looking forward to coming back to China to race next year.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I’m having some down time before taking the lessons learnt over the last 6 months of racing into a build before Busso IM Link to post Share on other sites

I dont think that is way to hard for him, he's a strong cyclist, he mentioned to me that if his legs feel OK after Malaysia he will line up for busso again, i think he is going to be down there regardless. Maybe they saw his tan and figured thats a Kiwi tan for sure Link to post Share on other sites

Watt's response sounded like it was either drafted when he was drunk/high or written by his 12 year old daughter. The bit about Callum begging and haranguing Watt for coaching is laughable especially when CM has the emails. Potentially a douche move using social media, but in retrospect, probably the right thing to do. You can't have coaches running around doing that shit during a race. In a bar, pissed up he has a go at an athlete, so what, during a race, different story. And in actual fact Watt's response actually backed up and confirmed (more or less) what Millward said.

Pont of order: Neither "Countries" or NGBs "send" athletes to the Hawaii Ironman Triathlon. Likewise whilst one is always "representing" one's: home country, state, town, club, school, family etc the term that is more appropriate is "from" for the same reasons as point one.
