Ironman Triathlon Bike

I am no expert, for sure but this doesn't look like it would make it too far in an ironman.

It's kind of depressing that Ironman would put their name and logo on something like that.

Oh of course, you see engineers have found that that bike is actually the most aero design, you see Cervelo and Specialized are one part of a huge conspiracy trying to sell us expensive aero looking bikes only to find new things later to keep us buying expensive bikes. The tires actually create a perfect size cyclone so the bike will slice through the air.
