No problem, V! so for a tri, I would think it would be fine for you to use this position in some places. You definitely don't want to use it climbing or descending (not that I really NEEDED to say that ), but for flat, straight sections, it will provide you a good aerodynamic position without adding the bars.

At our club TT this season, I saw a guy who had actually taken his arm rests/pads off his aero bars, and was using shoe inserts taped to his forearms to rest his arms and get himself into a lower position. Seemed to work well for him, and he said it was comfortable.

When's the race? Good luck with it!
