Richard Murray Laughing in Hamburg

Richard Murray shows that he has a lot of character during the World Triathlon Series race in Hamburg 2014. During the cycling portion of the race, Murray doesn't hesitate to make a joke with the cameraman. He was in the chase pack on the bike, and being a very strong cyclist, he wasn't impressed with the other riders in his pack. So, he looked over to the cameraman and gives the "so-so" gesture.

Murray, the triathlete from South Africa, finished in 14th position. It's a respectable finish for a race in the competitive international triathlon series, however, it's far from Murray's best race. He was 30 seconds behind the leaders coming off the bike. He ran a fast 14:34 5 km, but it wasn't enough to make up the gap in this shorter sprint-race format.
