Thanks for an interesting discussion. I didn't hear anyone talk about pedal system choices. Given the potential amount of walking in a race like TI, I assume that Look-style cleats or Shimano road pedals are out. Are people mostly using something like eggbeaters or SPD? Can you guys comment on this?
