That’s my point. No one said anything about 10 pounds making you more powerful and faster while it’s on. You have to take it off and then do the Triathlon. Also, your point still remains just as much of an assertion as mine. The difference is that I am willing to admit it.

Everyone understood; that doesn't make you less wrong. By the way, do you know what an assertion is? You're not using the word correctly.
Physics is physics, you won't increase your power output by training with more weight. Do you see any pro cyclists training with extra weight? Do you really think you know something they don't? Seriously, ask the question in the road forum, or training and nutrition.
