might make sense to have people seeded at the mass start based upon previous or expected times(swim times that is) as they do in a marathon--if 10 minute miles were all up front, might cause some problems in a road race??
I think 17 hrs is part of the lore of the Ironman--single time clock--in wave starts, you have much faster bike riders blowing by novices who happened to be younger which can cause some problems
also, have an area behind all the seeded times for anyone who wants to simply let everyone else go first
