@
careleton, I won't disagree with which is easier to start with, I think that's pretty easily determined. However, while I totally agree the start is very, very important in these events, you do have to weigh the total time in on that importance. 5-10 seconds out of a 40-70second event is not a big piece of the pie, unless the start on pursuit bars is SO much worse that it can make up for the 30-60 seconds you're benefiting from lower drag. I don't know how much that gap is, but it has to be a LOT.
