  • 400 meters
  • 01m 24s / 100 meters
Comments:

Was not a big fan because it was hard swimming without the lane lines on the bottom of the pool. Swimmers were started 30 seconds apart. This was a little long. 10-15 seconds would have been better.
What would you do differently?:

Cut the swim to 300 meters and start the swimmers closer together.

Wind, heat and hills.

Event comments:

Small race but I would be willing to pay a little extra for chip timing. Every race should be chip timed.
