TRIATHLON world, at the end of the day for us it’s just another triathlon. We swim, bike and run – and that’s it.” Their countdown to London 2012 began with a return to training at the end of October. It’s a regime which will, for the most part, be conducted together around the hills and dales of Yorkshire. Visit a café near Bolton Abbey or Gargrave this winter and you might catch the Brownlees taking a breather. It’s not all about shivering through a Northern winter though – the pair will hop aboard a Jet2.com flight from Leeds Bradford to Lanzarote in December for the first of two warm-weather training breaks. The idea is to sculpt a titanium physique capable of coping with the contrasting demands of the three sports. It pays to be light – both are just under 6ft and weigh a few pounds either side of 10 stone – but they need the muscle strength of men twice their size. “You need a balance. If you’re too skinny you sink and if you’re too heavy you can’t run. We’re quite lucky in that we seem to stay just skinny enough,” explains Jonathan. The fitness regime, which involves burning 5,000 calories a day, has to go to plan or the results can be alarming. In June 2010 Alistair’s tank ran dry during the closing stages of the Hyde Park event. From being part of the leading trio with his brother and Spain’s Javier Gomez, his main rival for Olympic gold, he dropped back to 10th. As exhaustion hit, he staggered over the finishing line, collapsing into the arms of medical staff. 48JetAway ‘There’s never been a triathlon team culture, but it’s starting to happen now. We work together ’ A triathlete’s life is never dull. In June this year, Alistair took the European championship gold in Spain despite losing 90 seconds to a puncture. “We were both in the leading group of cyclists when I got a puncture,” he recalls. “Jonny slowed down, which slowed the front pack down, and that gave me the chance to change my wheel and catch up again.” This act of sibling loyalty was remarkable in a sport built on the single-mindedness of its competitors. Says Jonathan: “It happens all the time in cycling but I’ve never seen it happen before in triathlon. It was just instinct. Getting a puncture is unfair and I didn’t want to beat him by something going wrong for him. There’s never really been a team culture in triathlon but it’s starting to get one now. We work together.” This unique double act is one which could make headlines around the world next summer. One Olympic medal is rare; two in the same Olympics for the same family would be the stuff of fantasy. “It would be absolutely incredible,” says Jonathan. “The chances are small because so much can happen in triathlon, but the unpredictability is what makes it exciting. We’ll have to wait and see – and hope.” Neil Squires is a sports writer for the Daily Express Jonathan Brownlee
