in regards to the midnight cutoff- are they pushing it back to accomodate the swimmers who got into the water late?
and how many seconds apart are the swimmers going off?
yes. It will be 17 hours from whenever the last swimmer starts. So some people will actually get 17:30 or whatever.
Looks like one swimmer every second starting at 7am first come first served no warmup.
I feel badly for any physically challenged competitors who may have a hard time making the cutoff with the current. If you’re reading, we’re pulling for you! Give em heck out there!
