    Word is that New Zealander Andrea Hewitt failed to pack her goggles.

    That is going to sting surely.

    No transponder information comes in from the sea. You guess is as good as anyone's where the Brits are amid the pack.

    Conditions are not as easy as they look. There is a definite current coming in that the girls will be swimming against.

    This swim will favour the stronger swimmers out there.

    The waves are a lot larger than they were for the men's race.

    Some of the athletes need a couple of goes at butterflying their way out into a swimming stroke.

    The course is really really tough, as tough as they come.

    The descent - which all the athletes' will have to negotiate eight times - will be in the athletes' minds.

    Unlikely.

    The British trio chat with American red-hot favourite Gwen Jorgensen ahead of the start.

    Once the gun goes though, it will be a friendship on hold.

    The Brits may try to work together to get away from American Jorgensen before she gets a chance to put her killer run leg into action.

    Two-time triathlon world champion Helen Jenkins hopes her "relaxed" attitude at her third Games will propel her onto to the Olympic podium.

    She says she was "one of the favourites going into London 2012 but had a major injury beforehand. Dealing with the few months before London was among the hardest things I ever had done." 

    Vicky Holland and another former world title-holder Non Stanford, all take part in this afternoon's gruelling swim, bike and 10km race. 

    "We have three of us who could all win medals - and even golds. It's quite exciting to be part of that team.

    "A British 1, 2, 3 is the dream and that is not completely unrealistic."
