What did you mean by you hate the draft-legal nature of the olympic distance? Does that take away the individual nature of the sport for you?
In Olympic competitions, drafting is LEGAL. It totally undoes the sport, for two reasons.

First, it means most cyclists will simply keep in the peloton disadvantaging anybody who has improved their cycling ability. It's no longer a time trial.

Second, it creates a bigger advantage for the runners. If they want a 10K running race, just say so.

Completely lame.
