Discussion: drafting
Subject: drafting By: mischa berg Written on: 2005-03-15 14:14:30 Message: what is drafting?
Subject: RE: drafting By: John Day Written on: 2005-03-15 20:40:11 Message: drafting is usually illegal in triathlon. It is when you ride right behind the person in front of you thereby not having to work as hard to go as fast. I hear they say your total work output is 20 percent less. I find that when I go out with a bunch of guys on a long ride and draft that I can go much longer than if I was riding solo.

I believe there are a few under this title by different authors....but all will give you a ton of VERY valuable information and explain a lot of details of the event. I found it to be very helpful! Buy or check it out! Good luck!!
