The 2010 Dextro Energy ITU WCS Finals are almost upon us and we are in Budapest to cover the event. We captured a few impressions from the days leading up to the big event in Budapest, Hungary. The weather was reasonably nice when we arrived on Thursday, but it has been raining all day so far on Friday. The word though is that the rains should stop by noon on Saturday. The bike course looks very challenging as is and hopefully the rains will stop indeed.

Young Pros like Aussie James Seear know quite well how to multi task.
Lisa Norden was gracious enough to stop for a second before riding back to her hotel.
Javier Gomez warms up with 2 friends before a run on Thursday night.
The famous Chain Bridge in Budapest will be busy with bikes this weekend.
For triathlon Pros media appearances are part of the gig, as here for Kiwi Debbie Tanner.
Alistair Brownlee looks quite confident and doesn't seem to be bothered by the weather.
The helmet of Lisa Norden is protected against the wet elements.
Current ITU Dextro Energy WCS points leader Jan Frodeno contemplates the weather situation.
Athletes on the way to the bike course recon are getting quite wet.
The future of the sport is well represented by these Hungarian juniors.
The Mexican team is pretty in pink. From a distance they look like Team TBB.
An endless amount of athlete badges for the juniors.
