Thanks for your cool posts.
IMHO
For adventure racing or long distance events – this might be a great idea – also would use it for off-season / non-IM specific training.
I am very interested in how it would work for long distance xc skii racing.
However, specifically as an everyday IM training tool, I would never use it – it violates one of my basic training principles -
“Nothing New on Race Day”
I follow this principle religously –
i.e. train / Race on same equipment – for my in-season training, I like to always prep my bike and running gear the same way as it will be on race-day (race-wheels aside of course).
I even lay the crap out and work a transition into almost every training session.
thanks again for your cool post.
