@risenflame I respect that....and i can understand both your and the itu's reasons for favouring draft legal....BUT its a less honest format in that, it takes such a large amount from the bike section. What makes it hard to swallow is that, if it were Draft Illegal there's a good chance id be alot closer to racing in the elite races. As a strong Swim biker....its particularly hard to swallow

@percdann I kinda like it for a change. there's plenty of draft-illegal races. it's just a different sort of race, I mean just look at most of the courses- diving off a platform? and usually in draft-illegal race you have 1 big (or maybe 2) loops on the bike and maybe 1 or 2 on the run- not 5 or 8 loops on the bike! I would think it would be a great specator sport as well...although I've never actually watched one myself in person. almost like track vs. road running (sorta)

Anyone else think draft legal rules, ruins the excitement of the cycle leg? Id way prefer see some aero helmets and bikes and guys red lining it
