Before this starts let's assume 2 things...
[1] Training is a highly individual endeavor where one needs to find what works best for them.
[2] The source of your greatest chance of progress is likely your weakest event.
I don't want to look at those at the ends (extremes) of the bell curve; I want to look at those in the curve (which would be most of us). These questions are the result of reading where some folks barely train the swim, and still manage to do okay.
Which discipline/event has the most carryover to the other two during times of training, and in regards to endurance?
Another way of thinking of it is ... assuming you can do all adequately, which one do you put the most "umpff" in regarding training? Why?
Again the guy I know that does tris doesn't really swim either (due to his work schedule). He's a survive the swim, do okay on the bike, kill em in the run type guy. [My race strategy is shaping up to be, hang towards the back during the swim, fall further behind on the bike, disappear on the run ;) ]
Hey, at least it's a training post this time.
