Are Triathletes worth the dues they pay toward Masters Swimming?
I say we force all Triathletes to spend one day a week in the sprint lane, one day a week doing stroke (i.e. IM) work, and then make them focus on their starts and turns.
This invasion needs to be controlled.... :-)

Funny, I swim, but y'all wouldn't call me a swimmer; I bike, but they wouldn't call me a cyclist; but the last person to finish a 5K in 30+ minutes is refered to as a runner.
There is definitely some elitism going on here.:duel:
Sorry, I don't quite get what you mean...
I was referring to the almost palpable and completely universal impatience motorists have with "those who dare to ride bicycles on roads," and that category includes cyclists of the Armstrong calibre, a lot of triathletes, as well as lowly commuters like me. But I wasn't aware that that particular label might be so inflammatory!
