00:11We're supporting Declan Johnson today!

00:12How's he doing?

00:13Has he done his swim?

00:14Yeah, really well.

00:15He did half an hour for his swim, which is what he wanted.

00:17Yeah, yeah.

00:18And he's quite strong on his bike.

00:20And he's a Shrewsbury lad, isn't he?

00:22Yeah, a Shrewsbury lad.

00:23And this is perfect conditions, I'm guessing, is it?

00:32Dad and everyone, so we're all here.

00:33So are you guys thinking you might be here doing it in a couple of years?

00:38Potentially I might.

00:39Oh, cool.

00:40Yeah, yeah.

00:41Depends.

00:42So it depends how much Declan's crying at the end of this event.

00:45If he enjoyed it, I might do it.

00:46If he says it was horrible, I might do it.

00:48I think the way to do it, don't judge what he says at the very end.

00:51Judge what he says next week.
