Here's a way they can improve it and not even have to do more enforcement. When you serve your penalty, simply have it where you can only stand there. Cant eat, cant drink, cant stretch, cant get coached. That's how ITU does it.


Or just add the time penalty to your bike split and total time at the end. Then you get absolutely no residual benefit from the stop.


Or even better: make it 2.5 penalty laps around a track, running an 1000m before starting the run. They do something similar when a biathlete misses a target....The track of shame. Opportunity to be heckled. Plus put timing mats on the track and report the penalty lap splits. Can you fathom: "Dude, I finished in 11:20, but I outsplit everyone on P2.". Heh.

THAT ought to do it. :)
