Steelman Triathlon 2011 Olympic Distance Bike Stage - Dorney Lake, Eton

[RocketScientist79]

Is it legal in Olympic level races to draught other competitors? I noticed that you were probably the only rider without a dedicated tri bike.

@RocketScientist79 It was a non-drafting race. But I thinnk there may have been a team time-trial going on at the same time (the group of four riders in the same kit). The bikes out on the course were very impressive, but always are in my age group (30-34).

@ROYALstraightFLUSH22 It's Dorney Lake in Eton. It's private land so I don't think you will be able to cycle around it (although you can walk in the area). It hosts a number of Triathlons, Duathlons and Swims during the year (along with Rowing and Canoeing) and will be used for the Olympic Rowing and Canoeing events.

Super vid and well done! Looks like some seriously competitive road bikes were taking part.
