thing is I really don't want to be standing in line (or have a proxy do it) from 3am onwards. Althought I'm guessing "self-seeding" means something like walking up to the front of the line, asking somebody what time they swim, and then saying "move back, Jack, I'm faster than you".
Also, a late swim start = more people to slingshot on the bike and perhaps draft in the water if you're a good sighter.
But having said that, I'm with you... I hope to swim a little over an hour and would like to have it done without a lot of people climbing all over me. Also, if they have a heat wave like 2006 or whenever, it will be nice to be done early.

I hope to be one of the first into the water. But if I were an MOP swimmer I would seed myself accordingly and just relax. People who've never done a TT start like Louisville have no idea how great that start is, and how well it sets you up for the entire day. The mass start is a nightmare and makes me fear for my life.
