This Weeks Discussion: Ben Schorr sent through this question: You find out a day or two before your “A” race (Ironman Wherever) that WTC messed up in the race packet and there is a loophole in the rules for this race that would actually allow people to use fins on the swim. WTC decides, for whatever reason, that they’re just going to roll with it this time and though they’re not encouraging it, they won’t stop people from using fins if they choose to. Would you?
