wow, thanks so much for your insight here, fender. i'd never thought of it that way. (eyes rolling). drafting is one thing, but it really gets me when people literally touch your feet with every stroke. you don't touch the wheel of the cyclist ahead of you when drafting, so learn how to swim and show some respect to the guy who's dragging your sorry ass to T1.
jtoots, maybe you should step aside and let the guy pass you if it bothers you soooo much. This happens in every triathlon race and thats the way it will always be
You should definitely touch wheels with some of these guys at the next Triathlon race and see if they have the same response.

It's called drafting, and it's going to happen...

Being in front IS hard, so much pumping though.
Good video thanks.

30% faster if you draft behind someone is quite the advantage. I feel sorry for the swim leaders.

You shouldn't feel sorry for them, you win money if you win a stage, most IM swim leaders are pro swimmers, and never win at Kona
