So who is coming to YAS Marina on Friday lunchtime to watch the triathlon.

May trigger some inner urge to become a triathlete, or for the lads, to oggle at some pretty tasty chicks.

Starts at around 11am, should be a great morning/afternoon.

Me...and yes it has triggered an urge. Not sure about some of the tri suits being worn by the competitors though.

Saw a bike wipe out on the turn by the hotel. Took ages for ambulance to get to the poor soul.
