Ok, I need someone to explain something to me: The demographics for Triathlon indicate that Triathletes are mostly somewhat highly educated, professional type people...This would indicate a pretty high level of smarts...I see from posts on most forums I read that triathletes are very smart at figuring out training, bikes, how much each and every component weighs, which wheels can save you 2 seconds over 40k, etc.
Then why is is that when it comes to drafting (read cheating) nobody can figure out what a draft zone is??? And my second question is (based on a comment after a race on Saturday that "don't worry about it, it's just a race"): If people will cheat on something that's so small as the comment indicates, what are they doing in there regular lives and jobs when it ethics really do matter and there's much more to be gained????
There, I fell better now...Thanks for listening.
P.S. The race director himself drove up not once, but three times and yelled at the "Peleton" to no avail...The crowd on the way in even commented on "Wow, look at this group, looks like the TDF"
