Also would have thought triathletes would have better upper body requirements due to swimming than a time trialist?
If you look at the top triathletes you'll see they aren't top heavy like the top swimmers. Top swimmers don't have to run.
If you pile on the upper body to make 5 minutes on the swim it'll lose you 15 minutes on the run.
15 chin-ups seems a bit toppy.
