    #IM703VINEMAN (Lee Gruenfeld) Leanda Cave

    #IM703VINEMAN (Lee Gruenfeld) Apologies for a little delay as we head out to the bike course to try to intercept the leaders
    If you don't see a split for Kessler on the bike it's because her chip came off in T1. We'll get it back to her when she reaches T2.
    We do have spotters on the course and will be able to get some updates on the front of the pro race. #703vineman
    At mile 19 in the men's race we have a group that includes Collins, Bowstead, Appleton, Tollakson, O'Donnell, Bell, Alexander, Montgomery and Collington.
    Then there is a gap of 5:10 to Dahlz and McDonald.
    At mile 19 on the women's race, our leaders are Kessler, Lawrence and Brandon. Tisseyre sitting at 1:45, Cocks at 2:30, Cave at 2:43 and Carfrae and Siddall at 5 minutes. #703vineman
