I always assume that these are highly competitive triathletes who
only race TTs and never qualify for upgrades since they don't do many
bike-only races and never do mass starts. I haven't drilled down on
the specific situation you're referring to, but I've certainly seen a
"cat 5" racer sweep nearly the whole field in a TT in other parts of
the country.
