The Big Drafting Episode

This week, Race Ranger CEO and co-founder James Elvery talks to Tim about how the blinking lights draft detection technology works and how it could work in the future. Then, we get into absolutely everything about the problem that plagues triathlon: drafting and draft packs. What are the drafting rules on the bike. Is it really a problem? Pro drafting v. age-group drafting. (One of those two is un-solveable.) And how Race Ranger works technologically and psychologically to maybe possibly potentially deter athletes from drafting.
