For the swim of course. I looking for techniques you use to draft on the swim. Since it takes far less energy to draft during the swim do you:
1>Draft behind someone way faster than you, so you are putting out the same effort as you would be if your swimming alone?
OR
2>Draft behind someone thats about your speed, and use the 'saved' energy for the bike and run?
I've done only a handful of Tri's and have never been able to really latch on to someone. I have a fear I'll begin to draft but only to have my 'tug boat' slow down too much without me realizing it and exit the swim with a fairly slow swim time.
