Hey there, solid breakdown on the triathlon betting angle! I’m totally with you on focusing on endurance consistency—it’s a game-changer in fantasy triathlon picks. Last season, I noticed athletes who nailed their pacing across all three legs often climbed the leaderboard, especially in longer races like Ironman or 70.3. Mid-tier guys with strong cycling splits are my go-to as well; they’re like the dark horses in a poker game, slipping under the radar but packing a punch. I’ve had luck in fantasy leagues by targeting dudes like Sam Appleton or Matt Burton, who don’t always grab headlines but rack up points with steady bike performances.
Windy conditions are a wild card for sure. I remember a race in Kona a couple of years back where gusts flipped the odds, and swimmers got hit hard while cyclists with aero setups thrived. It’s worth checking weather forecasts a few days out and cross-referencing with athletes’ bike splits from similar conditions. Also, I’d add a nudge toward looking at transition times—T1 and T2 can make or break a mid-tier athlete’s overall score in fantasy. Guys who fumble there lose valuable points.
One thing I’m curious about: how much weight do you put on recent training data? Some platforms like Strava give glimpses into athletes’ form, but it’s tricky to know if they’re peaking or just logging miles. Anyway, your approach feels spot-on for building a balanced fantasy roster. Curious to hear if you’ve got any specific names you’re eyeing for the season
