    I'd be thrilled to swim like Sanders, bike like Potts, and run like Starykowicz.

    I'd just take speed-shitting like Sanders. When you gotta go, you gotta go fast! Sounds like he clocked some amazing porto-splits at IMAZ from his last podcast appearance.

    Ya know, that cape would be useful in case of emergency. Not very aero, but softer than port-o-let paper!

    Long: I'd swim like Dave Scott (gritty, nasty, just fast enough, always sets the tone, plus the unconventional stroke is cool, swimming fast was less important than the attitude/fear factor)
    I'd ride like Hellreigel (as long as I don't have to pay the price he paid during the run)
    I'd run like Mark Allen

    Short course: I'd swim like Rick Wells or maybe one of the new fish
    I'd bike like Mike Pigg (Pigg Power!)
    I'd run like Greg Welch (without a hurt heart) or A. Brownlee

    Tough call between Starky and Gwen. I went with biking like Starky just because being able to move like that would be sick.

    Agreed. I ended up picking Gwen because I would destroy running races as well - which I actually participate in... unlike cycling races... :)

    Swim like Potts, bike like Starky, and run like Gwen? Isn't there a super hero that already has those powers named Jan?

    Swim. This should be the obvious answer, since it's the most difficult of the three to learn/fix for 95% of people.

    And yes, I realize I'm making heavy use of logic in a poll about super powers.

    I also chose swim. Actually I chose Andy Potts. I always choose Andy Potts. ;)

    @Matt No, you're clearly mistaking him for Alistair Brownlee.

    Sticking with ITU, @Brent_R and @Matt pretty sure I would choose Mario Mola over both of those chaps for 2016.
