Event comments:

No clear instructions on the start. It would be good to have a 5min and in warning.
My heart goes to the family of the fellow that had a heart attack during the swim, very sad.
Would be good if Sprint and Olympic had different swim cup colors.
The comment during the pre-briefing meeting that nobody is looking if you are drafting provided a "permission" for some to draft.
