Gobi, out of interest what were the distances you had to do for the Champs? had a look on the official website but I can only see that it gives the times, not the distances.

I am suddenly concerned about drafting rules.

What about if you're on a hill and you find yourself close to another competitor but can neither ifnd the legs to pass them nor reasonably drop back? Or does it not really matter when you're so far towards the back of the pack and going so slowly that there's no real drafting advantage anyway?

Have only ever one one tri (a few times) where this wasn't really an issue but my next is a course new to me which does have a few challenging hills apparently.
