The way the event is set up, the racers are released in waves.
First the elite class was released.
Exactly one minute later they released the kids.
At the two minute mark they released the ladies.
Then at the three minute mark they released the guys.
When i crossed the finish line my time displayed 47:06. I subtract the 3 minutes in delayed start and am left with my time of 44:06. What place you cross the finish line is indifferent to what wave you started in. My place was 45th out of a loose guesstimation of 80-100 people total. When I left the water in the last wave I was approximately 10 places from the very last person. ( water not being my strong suit.) Then I suppose I passed 25-45 people, some with 1 or 2 minute head starts, to reach 45th place.
Overall a fun successful event. It definatly put me in my place on where I am in my training progress.
Next event: June 12th!
