I hadn't heard of them doing this but it would be a nightmare if they did. I started toward the back of the TT start at Louisville and that was awful enough, and that isn't even a double loop swim. It would be a mess at the start of the second loop. A better option is to just not have so many participants that the start gets crowded out, but I know that option doesn't make as much money.______
This will be #7 IMCDA for me .... the only one I had any problem in the swim was last year with the smaller beach start area that made things much more congested. Frankly, if this is going to be a TT start, I'll just get my partial refund and say forget it .... sort of the sissifying of the event. Maybe they can heat the lake up as well so no one feels cold either .... maybe we can have a group finish as well so everyone gets the same time and feels better.

I would think you could find a group of people to stand around in their wetsuits and punch and kick you till you feel you have qualified for your 7th ironman medal.
This will be my first IM and I will say I was scared to get the s#it beat out of me at the start of the swim, but I was ready for it. This changes things, but doesn't make me any less excited to do the event.
Do those of you who do IMs all the time think people who finish Lou are any less of a finisher that those that do non-TT starts?
