What brought this up was a very polite women today with an Australian accent was riding a very nice FELT Tri bike. She made a comment about being a coach herself.
She was very strong.
She asked if she could draft us a bit. Then she went off not needing our draft.
Her position needed a lot of work. Her pedal stroke was off.
I don't completely get the Tri thing, but I do get the TT thing (not a troll - just 30 years).
I asked my wife that as she was so nice, if it was worth giving any pointers. Wife said no, and I agreed.
I believe pointers would have been a significant help.
I could have suggested a coach for a fraction of the cost of the bike she was riding.
But...I shut my mouth.
