Decatriathlon Monterrey Mexico – World Championship 

For all of you early birds out there well I suppose it is after 7 your time, here’s the next instalment.

Simon is still in the lead of the swim he is almost at 34kms as I write, only 4 to go. Naturally he has slowed down a little and I now expect him to finish in about 19 hours, which will be 3am Monterrey time.

He has remained in great spirits throughout and unlike some of his competitors has been able to eat and drink consistently throughout the last 17 hours; he is a marvel.

The next update should be when he’s finished part one of this epic event.

The world is watching Simon and he’s staying on top.
