I raced ITU Worlds and they made the right call and I’m a 60 minute IM swimmer, but that’s like saying you ran a 4:30 mile in High School…”Everybody ran a 4:30 in High School” Frank Shorter (forgive me if the providence is wrong). I’m a 61-62 minute IM swimmer.
The question I’m interested in is what is the tipping point of swim time advantage/disadvantage for a cancelled swim.
Distance and then swim times and how you or you think others may feel about a canceled swim.
My take.
IM: sub 65 – disadvantage / 65-67 – ambivalent / 67+ - clicking heels
I understand that for some that a 67 may be a PB with swimming as their strength, so maybe break it down in a %.
Please feel free to add 1/2 and Oly
I edited the subject line, others are debating should/shouldn't. I want to see where ST'ers think the advantage/disadvantage lies when a swim IS canceled
