Is it just me or are a lot of swimmers going WAY inside that first buoy?

I was thinking the same thing. Hopefully it's a big loop and not an out and back...

I'm confused. See the dude in back w/ the kayaks backstroking to cut over to the left? Long day for that guy/gal!!!

I saw a bunch hanging onto the kayaks and boats as well. I wonder how many of these folks are experiencing their first triathlon ever.

Yeah, no kidding. There is also a breast stroker that hasn't made it to the first buoy yet. Long day!

Although I must admit, I got killed by a lady doing the backstroke at my last race...

I know a guy who has done multiple IMs and he only does breast stroke and swims an ok time. He also never wears a wetsuit, including one year in Placid when the water was in the 60s. Nuts!

When I first started masters last year my 100m breast stroke was faster than my 100 free (I was a breast stroker in HS). It would just be a lot harder to pull off in tight quarters. You would make enemies really quickly!

That just breaks my heart. Training for months and months and your race is over in 25 minutes! People underestimate the swim...

Not mine. Races need (non-injury) casualties. Even half-IMs deserve respect, and it just ticks me off when people don't take it seriously. I like the idea of an aggressive "plucking" from the water!

Is it just me, or does Penticton look like one ugly-ass So Cal dry canyon?

You're no kidding, I was always trying to get my ex to pick up her swim since her strength was the run but she faced 2 cut off times before getting there (and got pretty close to missing on a number of occasions). Got to get to the run to be able to use it!

Note that the leader's recovery on the left side is LOW ELBOW and sweeps way outside. So THERE all you who think that's so bad!!!

Great race so far, and going exactly as planned for Jonathan. He predicted 3-5 out of the water. Coming out with the chase pack is perfect!

I bet Jonny and Jordan are having a good time together at the start of the bike

i guessed him 6min back of doe out of the water, so 4:12 back is a great swim for him. if he'd have been bale to hang onto that 51min pack... argh...

i'm guessing he carves 1min out of doe for every 15mi of riding until he catches him, which oughta be at about 60mi in. then i think he'll take 1min out of him every 10mi. i'll guess rapp into T2 with a 5min lead on the major contenders.

You think he's going to catch Doe on the bike?

I'm rooting for Jonnyo but I thought Doe was a stronger rider esp with last year's scorching Roth bike.

EDIT: Gotcha, you were referring to Rapp..

Was that a bad swim for Gordo? I really don't follow the individuals too much but wondered if he was slow or being that much down is normal for him?

12th place according to the IMLive site, let's see how his bike goes. He's kicking it for a wage slave!

What a scrum in the swim, with 2500 starters. Isn't this a convincing example of why IMNA has to go to a wave start system. It's taking the fun out of it. The drafting on the bike is going to be crazy. How about this: 6:45 Pro start 7:00 all athletes under 40, 7:10 all athletes over 40.
