One of you mentioned spacing yourself according to swim times. I'm doing my first tri on the 31st and I have no idea where to place myself. This is the first time the race is being run, so I get no guidance there. There are eight waves, and while I am a moderately strong swimmer, I'm not going to be very fast on anything else. Any recommendations?
I'd suggest starting in the middle, but off to the side of the pack. That way, you have room to move up on the pack if you're fast enough, but also room to let them go by you if you're not. |
