I started training for triathlons in 1985. I started swimming, biking and running at the Same time. So I have no horse in this race. Admittedly I enjoy cycling the most. But I was cycling when I injured my knee. Adding to that is people who have never ran yet still needed a knee replacent. However, I was able to continue biking but couldn't run for a long while.
I think what we've proven here is triathletes make the best athletes
