0:04:26 > 0:04:30- The bike is new to me and I will be - a bit behind after the bike leg.

0:04:31 > 0:04:36- It'll give me an incentive - to catch the people in front.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50- It'll be the same.

0:04:51 > 0:04:55- A fast swim, try to stay - at the front on the bike...

0:04:55 > 0:05:00- ..and then run with everything - that's left in the tank.

0:05:07 > 0:05:13- In the opening leg, there will be - little to separate the athletes...

0:05:13 > 0:05:19- ..as they aim for Penarth before - heading back to Roald Dahl Plass.

0:05:19 > 0:05:22- As they approach land again...

0:06:07 > 0:06:12- A rider can shelter - behind the rider in front of him.

0:06:12 > 0:06:17- There is an element of risk in that, - especially at this speed.

0:06:17 > 0:06:20- No.12, Iestyn Harrett, - is also in this group.

0:06:20 > 0:06:25- The peloton is working as an unit to - close the gap on the front-runners.

0:06:46 > 0:06:48- On the road in the bike stage...

0:06:48 > 0:06:53- ..it looks like a wet surface - after the early rainfall.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56- Fenella Langridge, - wearing red, in third place.

0:06:57 > 0:07:01- Grace Hobbs, Grace Kinnell - and Imogen Moroney are close behind.

0:07:07 > 0:07:12- She trains in Cardiff and - she'll know these streets very well.

0:07:12 > 0:07:17- The aim for these four - is to increase the lead.

0:07:17 > 0:07:25- They will be aware that there are - strong riders in the chasing pack.

0:07:26 > 0:07:31- They'll want to build up - a good advantage before the 5km run.

0:08:18 > 0:08:20- This is Hannah Kitchen, - on the yellow bike.

0:08:20 > 0:08:26- They're down! That's some accident - on Lloyd George Avenue.

0:08:26 > 0:08:29- Will they be able - to get back on their bikes?

0:08:30 > 0:08:34- I think Zoe Thomas - is part of that accident.

0:08:34 > 0:08:39- For those still cycling, - some time has been wasted there.

0:08:39 > 0:08:44- I wonder if Helen Kitchen - and the others can continue?

0:08:51 > 0:08:56- Fenella Langridge in red, Grace - Hobbs in black. They lead the way.

0:08:56 > 0:09:03- I wonder if they know what's - happened on Lloyd George Avenue?

0:09:39 > 0:09:41- They're arriving in dribs and drabs.

0:10:33 > 0:10:37- He trailed the Olympic Champion - Alistair Brownlee...

0:10:37 > 0:10:39- ..and his brother, Jonathan.

0:10:39 > 0:10:44- Seeing him passing them is a - heartbreaking moment for the others.

0:10:44 > 0:10:47- Who, if anyone, - can catch Bowden now?

0:12:45 > 0:12:50- We did the Slateman up in Bangor. I - caught the bug and started to train.
