IIRC, Mens Pro went off at 6:25. Womens Pro went off at 6:30. Rolling AG started at 6:40.

No AG wave. Just a rolling start. I was there watching... it was quite some time, but I'll have to go back and check. 10-15 minutes I think.

This is correct. 10 minute gap between the Pro Women, and the AG rolling start.

thx.

so, i hate to bring this up but i wasn't there so i'd like to get a sense of it. when i see the women's pro times, there are a fair number of swim/bike times that equal, or are close to equal. did them scoop themselves up? legally? as the pro men do. or did they get swept up into male AG packs, slowest swimmer first?

no - many of them got swallowed up in the drama. I passed quite a lot of them in the first 20 miles (I swam 57, so was only about 10 mins behind most of them out onto the bike). I passed maybe 5 women quite early on, and then my first small 20-man peleton just before the toll road, so I think most of them except for Lauren Brandon would have had to deal with a lot of idiotic men.

There were two pro women in the peleton I was riding legally behind. One of them finished 3rd.
