Playback the RELIVE highlights of WTS Leeds and hear from the world’s best athletes as they reflect on their race experience in Leeds, race strategy, tactics and results over the years as well as sharing general triathlon discussion among each other. The athletes admitted that it was refreshing to catch up with one another on a video call, while watching a race, during this time of COVID-19 where races are rescheduled and they aren’t seeing each as as they usually would on the WTS race circuit.
