I just received an email from a RD asking for post-race feedback. In the letter, he mentioned the "rumor of more stringent swim rules" for future years' races, which might increase the time between start waves.
I got the impression that the "rules" might be coming down from above, i.e. USAT. My guess is that it might have to do with recent drownings at races. More time between waves might allow for better spotting of struggling swimmers, I suppose.
Anyone heard anything in regards to this?
Thanks,
