Oh yes. Remember, I only started riding outside in the morning when I literally killed my trainer, and that required being unable to do tri training (bum heel, swimming much more difficult due to Covid restrictions). Even so, it takes focused weeks to beat y'all serious cyclists.
However, based on what I'm reading, it looks like tri might be off next year as well. With Bar Mitts and maybe a gravel bike, I could really pound out some miles next year. We will see. Long-term, I'd like to get back to tri, but I'm not swimming in open water with a bunch of people or grabbing cups at aid stations until we have a known-good vaccine and I can be sure I'm protected while doing it.
