First out of the swim; or rather 3 out of the swim! Its a tight one. First Amberger, then Watson and Crowie. Just a few steps away from each other. Its heart pounding! #im703putrajaya
First out for the bike is Amberger, followed by Crowie & Watson. Another tight one with the 3 of them close to each other again.
Earlier on, the pro female athletes are out from the swim to the bike. Leading out first on bike is Rebekah Keat. #im703putrajaya
Female pro leading out on bike transition 2nd Emma Bilham followed by Amelia Watkins on 3rd. #im703putrajaya
All pros are out from the bike transition and they are on the road! Age groupers are slowly trickling into the bike transition from the swim now. The morning sun is coming this Easter Sunday. You guys are doing great! #im703putrajaya
