Swim Start Times - When to be on Deck

What does "on deck" time mean? On deck is the time you should be on the deck of the pool and in line. You should give yourself an hour prior to your on deck time to pick up your swim card, go to the restroom, hydrate or have a bite of your nutritional bar, warm up in the center pool, and be ready for your on deck time.

*Racers on deck later than 3:00 p.m. run the risk of being excluded from participating

It's hard to judge with 100% accuracy on bib start times. Many of you mentioned in this year's racer survey the frustration of standing around and waiting. We hear you......we don't like it either. So, we really tore into the swim times estimated by each bib group assigned and hope we might have gotten it a little closer. Of course we will continue to track the the stats during the swim and see how it goes. We can only take into account what racers have estimated but we think we are closer.
