Subject: RE: question about course cut-off times. As little as 3hr 30min, as much as 5+ hours. If you are in the last swim wave (or any wave really) and get out of the water just before the swim cut-off (1hr 15min after the last swim wave starts). You then have 3hr 45min to finish both T1 and the bike. So assuming a long T1 the time you would have is around 3hr 30mins. If, say you start your swim wave at 7:00am but the last swim wave doesnt start until 8:00am. Swim course would close at 9:15, bike course will close at 1:00pm. If you finish your swim and T1 within an hour, you would then have 5 hours to do the bike. Wave start times will be released by the race director closer to the event. I've only done one wave start race so cant comment on the usual order but that race was pro's first, then people assumed to be on the course longer, going towards those who were assumed to be on the course the least amount of time (ending with M35-39). |
