Alex Yee will swim 1,500 m in Tokyo Bay and complete a fast 40 km bike course before he can even think of putting on his running shoes and making the most of his immense athletic skills in the Olympic triathlon.
But if the 23-year-old from southeast London stays at the top and hasn’t expended too much energy to be there, the 30 minutes of action that follows over the final 10k run is sure to make for some excitement at a pub in Catford.
There, former running coach Ken Pike and 40 or 50 other friends at Yee’s local Kent AC track and field club intend to keep the bar open for a race that starts at 10:30 PM UK time on Sunday
