Does anyone out there have experience riding a crit bike in a half or full iron distance tri? Is this something that is commonly done? What impact would this have on the run and run transition?
Will it be adequate? Yes.
Will it be 100% optimal? No.
You mean a road bike?
Yes, plenty of them (of all flavors) on the course
I did IMLP on a fixie and ran 2:57. then spinning really helped. my t2 was 33 seconds. you should ride a fixie. they are great for IM!

People have done ironmans (and won) on a Soloist.
I’ve won a crit on a Soloist.
Ergo…a “crit” bike can do just fine in a tri
