Subject: RE: Topeka Tinman Actually, we were split up. I was in the first wave and crossed the finish line first with Kevin Wait under a minute behind me. 4 minutes and 31 seconds later the next guy crossed the line with the next guy 9 seconds behind him. Kevin and I thought we were 1-2 because the waves were supposed to be 3 minutes apart. However, they had to pull someone out of the water which delayed the wave behind us by 2 more minutes. So I took 3rd by 29 seconds behind the 1st place finisher. That is one drawback with staggered waves but there isn't much you can do about it. Those guys were just faster on the run. When I saw those guys still going out after I made the turnaround, I mistakenly thought I had enough of a lead. Had we been in the same wave and come out of T2 closer together, who knows if I could have pushed it harder? Edited by Jayhox 2016-06-21 8:20 AM
