Triathlon Day

Went for a swim (W/ Jay, and lots of really old people) before work, a run (W/ Jay, no old people) at lunch, and a bike ride home (no jay). Now I have a Triathlon question. Gerald, could you ask your Iron Man friends? Why is it any A-Hole well educated professional with more money than sense can drop several thousand dollars on a pair of aero-wheels (the kind that self destruct at the thought of a crack in the pavement) that, all other things being equal, will improve their time significantly over the more proletarian entrants, but a 10$ pair of swim fins are strictly verboten. If I could fabricate a pair of outrageously expensive fins out of high grade hashish and crystal matrix carbonium (or whatever Specialized is putting in their high end bikes these days) would those fins be allowed?
