Notes about the swim waves:

• Bib numbers are NOT pre-assigned this year.  New this year we will use “dynamic bib assignment” and participants will receive their bib number at packet pick up.
• Per USA Triathlon guidelines, participants are assigned to the swim wave corresponding to their age and gender.  They must start in their assigned wave.
• The first wave on Sunday is called “elite wave.”  Anybody may opt into this wave but doing so eliminates age group award ranking and eligibility.  This wave typically consists of extremely competitive athletes concerned only with overall ranking along with participants who are nervous about the 2 pm bike-to-run cut-off and the 5:30 pm overall cut-off.  Participants may still opt into or out of this wave on race weekend by going to the Troubleshooting Desk. There is no elite wave in the Sprint on Saturday.
• Every year, we allow participants age 50+ to go ahead of the younger age group waves to speed up the day for those competitors.  After that, the waves go from youngest to oldest (45-49).  In odd years, the women go first while in event years the men go first.
