OK, but i swear that at Vegas we had multiple waves per age group. While I like head to head, I prefer less congestion. Please get quadruple the number of zebra guys out there.....maybe the Quebec Hells Angels can show up and threaten any blatent pelotons!
No. In Vegas last year there were not multiple waves per age group. The swim waves were originally posted that way, but (presumably) because so many people complained, come race day, the age groups were not split up.
That being said, I didn't think the swim was too congested, and I was in the largest AG (M40-44). There was more drafting that day than I had ever seen before, however. (So I always chuckle when someone says a hilly course will stop drafting.) I also don't think splitting up AG's will stop drafting. If people want to draft, they will draft, regardless of course or start times.
