70.3 got an email this morning.

The race start times etc are exactly what they did for cairns when I did the Ironman there and it was good. There would be much more chaos starting the half after with all of the bop Ironman athletes. Some of them would just be getting to far turn around or just past when 70.3 was going to start. 70.3 is now rolling start also. No idea what time pros start the Ironman but they will be having to go pretty fast to catch bop 70.3 swimmers...
