PLEASE READ my reply again.

It was NOT ADVICE but a simple statement of what I have used for the events I've done and the uplifting feeling when this at the time 60+yo rider was passing YOUNGER individuals riding event specific bikes who smoked me in the swim because of swimming with a right shoulder that did not rotate due to bone on bone and a neck that did not allow rotation due to being broken in a bicycle crash in 2011 at age 61. AND also having to walk instead of jogging or running due to BONE on BONE KNEES.
