Subject: To Clipless or not for Short Distance Duathlon I have a question for you fellow members here. I am going to have a Run/bike/run event 600m/5km/1200m .
The 5KM bike involved a 5 laps close circuit with a single up/down Slope. The bike circuit involve down hill right out of transition and up hill before transition. I am able to do flying mount and dismount on flat. This mean that for the half of the first lap as well as half of my final lap... i would be riding on top of my bike shoes ( not in them ).
In other word, the benefit of bike shoes is only a little over 4km (4 out of the 5 laps ).
Would it be more efficient to just skip the bike shoes and transition and use Running shoes thru out the whole race?
Thank you for taking your time reading my question. |
