For me, the big event of the day was the mixed relay
triathlon which saw teams of men and women competing in three disciplines:
swimming, riding and running. Competitors had to swim 250 metres, then ride bicycles
for 6 kilometres, and finally run 1.6 kilometres. The English team of four were
Vicky Holland, Jonnie Brownlee, Jodie Stimpson and Alistair Brownlee. Jodie and Alistair had individually won gold
medals on Thursday. All four athletes performed well to the effect that their
combined effort and determination resulted in a win for England.
I was amazed at their incredible fitness. All their hard
training paid off.
