I figured I'd get some flack for the resting run-up thing. Obviously, it's a tactic only to be used by people who are strictly out of the running. For me, I can't run worth a lick and while I'm pitifully slow on the bike, that is (relatively) my strength, so I figure it doesn't make sense for me to hold back while I'm on the bike. But, what do I know? I finished last.
