Great start for teamTBB with Lucie Z coming first out of the water, followed by Tereza Macel. Stephen Bayliss and Reinaldo Colucci are both in the second pack with all the main contenders.

Chrissie Wellington has moved very quickly to the front, and now leads the women's race. She is followed by Lucie in 2nd and Tereza in 3rd.

We're not sure where Stephen Bayliss is? He exited the swim in the second group...
Reinaldo is in the second pack.

Although no news yet on the bike, it looks like Abi Bayley and Erika Csomor exited the swim in 1h03, while Bella came out in 58"...

Reinaldo is sitting strong in the lead pack - they are 1minute behind race leader Phil Graves who is clearly after the Timex hotspot...

Reinaldo has made the turn around at Hawi, he has collected his special needs bag which means he should be well fed and hydrated - important in these very hot conditions. No wind to speak of and that is great news!
