    He had a pretty slow swim. Was out of the water about 1 minute off the lead. Should catch up by the end of the bike leg though. Hopefully still has something in the tank for the run.

    His chase group has closed up with the lead group. McCullough is there too. Game on

      McCullough sat on the back of the lead group doing no work until Hayden's group got to within 10-15 seconds - then he dropped back and dragged them up the last little bit.

      Good work Dylan!

        Hopefully he can help Wilde on the run. The 32 man lead group appear to be too far away from the rest of the field

            Wilde away smoothly. Someone is 10000m away from a medal. Is Wilde a strong runner? His arch rival Alex Yee is leading out trying to get away early

              Wilde is in about 4th from the looks of it. Pretty close. Yee is flying at the front but a bit early to mean much.

                      This is going to be a great race from here. Two front leaders seem to be a long way ahead.

                          Unless he does a Craig Barrett, the worst Wilde can do is silver you would think. Apparently Wilde doesn't usually run down Yee. I was going to say Wilde should try to crack Yee. Just as I type Wilde is trying to push away from Yee

                              Yup. Go hard or go home. You can't see the margin, but it looks like a significant distance and pulling away

                                Wilde is putting the hammer down. Yee doesn't seem to have an answer. Wow

                                    Looks strong. I can't believe Yee would let him go like that unless he didn't have the gas

                                        He has a watch in his hand that he keeps looking at. Seems like a man with a plan
