what does it say about tri when a guy who wasn't top 20 in the PAC 12 and only 4th on his own team in running is the greatest junior triathlete in the world?
Well, what does it say about the sport of basketball when a guy who couldn't hit a curveball and never made out of the minor leagues was the greatest basketball player to ever play the game?
Are there any tri sites I can troll on. Maybe, talk about how lame tri is and how cool running is? Maybe even talk about how awesome XF is and how tri is a waste of time? Maybe?

baseball is to basketball as (trying to think of an example) golf is to football. totally different skill sets required to be successful.
i would argue that runners & triathletes need more overlapping skills...endurance, aerobic capacity, etc. yeah, there are technical issues with biking, swimming, etc., but i bet the average runner could become a decent biker/swimmer (and would have a hard time becoming a minor league baseball player or PGA tour golfer).
