They are already talking about how fast the swim is going to be today, guess that answers our question if they shortened the course. Looks like they will probably be going with the short buoys they set up last week for the test swim. I just hope they set the old records into another category rather than erase them, unlike the supersuit records that were set in swimming.
x2 on that. When I looked at the hour by hour weather for Kona and Hawi it does not go much above 85F today and winds in the 12-16 mph range. Looks like it should be a headwind up to Hawi, tailwind coming down and headwind all the way back once they get back on the QueenK. Still looks like sub 8 weather with the new swim reduction if guys race each other from the gun rather than play poker
