Waiting around so long to race was not fun at all and will probably stop me from doing this race again.

They could then start the sprint while the oly's are still in the water - there would just be some merging of the 2 distances. Other races do that, so I don't know why this race can't. Volunteers were great and there were a lot of cheering spectators which made the race seem like a big deal.
