Hi all,
In 3 short weeks I do my first half ironman, it will also be my first open water race. I know I'll be in the mens 35-39 wave, which is going to be pretty competitive. Now the swim is my worst event, I expect to be out of the water in around 40 minutes on a good day, a little more if it's tough.
Any suggestions on where to put yourself in the wave when you're standing on the shore? I am clueless on this and don't want to get stuck in a whole group of fast people and get swum over and beaten about.
Grateful for any advice,
Justin.
