Jim, I have used a few Triathalon rounds at the contests I ran in the past few years. Some loved it, some hated it. I think this is an ideal task for poor weather, where the 10 minute target time is difficult to reach. Requires the pilot to be very aware of his time, and to make strategic decisions throughout his flight.
