1. That's almost the worst advice. The advice is to "try before you buy" so somebody doesn't over commit to expensive equipment they won't use.
2. That's the weakest brag ever. You just admitted that you got smoked on the swim by people who are so slow on the bike leg that road bikes are passing their tri bike. Congrats?
3. In the end, if a person enjoys the sport...........tri bike is the answer. Almost always, unless you have such a debilitating physical condition that you can't get a fitter to get you on one.
