I think many people have this assbackwards.
Hours spent training should be a function of desire and available time.
Choosing races should also be a function of desire, scheduling and cost.
The same athlete will achieve the same results (in terms of placing or percentage of ability) with the same time spent training across EVERY distance of triathlon.
For example, if I spend 18hr/wk training- I will finish in the top 1% of my AG at every distance- sprint, Olympic, 70.3, 140.6.
If I spend 9 hr/will training- I will finish in the top 10%.
If I spend 4hr/wk training- I will finish in the top 50%
