So according to FLO's website and the wind tunnel results, if I average 20 mph, the disc will save me about 47 seconds over a FLO 90 in the course of a half-ironman.It's more than that thanks to power to rotate. Flo data only gives translational drag.
Plus - getting faster is about making lots of little decisions that help towards the goal:
Don't eat that brownie
Don't kill the alarm and roll over
Use evidence based training methods
Work on your bike position
Make smart equipment choices (like IA vs some of the other options)

Tell me then, why so many pros were racing without a disc at the 70.3 World Championship? Why doesn't EVERYONE race with a disc in the events that allow it?Being good at training and making smart equipment choices are not necessarily things that go together.
