Angel's Race Swim Seeding

Anyone out there doing Angel's race on Sunday in Clemmons, NC.

What's your opinion of how they are doing the pool swim. Looks like they are letting all the VIPs, Sponsors, and members of a local Tri club go first, followed by the women's age groupers, and then the mens age groups with 15 seconds between each starter.

I competed in a race that did the same thing earlier in the year, and it was a real fiasco ...

I know I am venting a bit, but I won't be starting until 10 AM at a race were the first starter goes off at 8 AM ... that's just an awful long wait. And considering how short the course is, about 1/2 the field will be done before I even start. You just start losing your enthusiasm after standing around for 2+ hours.

I only live a few miles from the race site, and would go home after getting my chip and all, but your kind of captive in the park once you get there..
