Are deep-section race wheels always a good choice for race day?

A deep-section race wheel (with the rim ranging from 50- 90mm deep) can save you 50secs over a 40km bike leg. But a key consideration is the course and conditions you’ll be racing in. If it’s windy or hilly, then a lighter and shallower 30mm rim will give you better handling.
