No, I wondered where that post had gone, I.m falling asleep here - and doing stupid things. I think I'll have to go to bed,
Hockey then cycling on 301/Red button and athletics on BBC3, just now.
BBC1's 'proper' programme has just started, so it'll probably be a wee while yet before they get into any live action.
Triathlon now on BBC1.
It looks a bit strange to see a bunch of people swimming in open water in the middle of Hyde Park.
GB leading, but they're still on the 1st stage.

i like the wetsuits with the muscles on them and pity the poor girls who have to run right to the end of the line for their bike.
Morning fluffs
GB have 3 competitors. They're on stage 2 now - cycling. We have one in the leading pack of 6 and the other two are at the head of the chasing pack, who appear to be catching the leading pack.
Oh dear. The only Brazillian in the race has fallen, but appears to be continuing.
Morning Kaffy. 
7 and a half laps of cycling GB still all in the top 20, they're near the end of lap 2.
Polish and Hungarian riders fall now. At the same point as the Brazillian.
Chasing pack will soon be with the leading pack of 5.
Good morning all.
Wow, I am watching the triathlon and am in awe of the stamina of these athletes.
Did you see the Italian fall....and slide across the ground? It must have been quite painful.
The top two groups have joined up now, but there are a few trying to break away. Hall of GB not letting them go.
3rd time through the Wellington Arch. 5 laps to go.
GB 7th and 8th for now. 3rd rider a bit back in 33rd. The pack she's in is about 2 minutes back.
Hall 4, Jenkins 9.
Hall is only supposed to be a pacemaker. Jenkins is the one who is expected to win a medal. 3rd rider could still be in with a chance. She's still well up in the chasing pack.

Sorry Fluff, phone rang. I did see the fall, it looked sore. Ouch!
Chasing pack getting a bit strung out now
Last lap now. 2 GB riders in top 6. Other rider still in 30 somethingth place.

I kinda feel sorry for the "domestique"/pacemaker, as she does all the hard work but doesn't get any of the glory.

9 Jenkins, 22 Hall as they start the 10K run.
Jenkins leading now, Hall falling away. Apparently she's not a good runner.

She did a great job as pacemaker, I hope she gets a good reception from the crowd - I'm sure she will.
