Notes about the swim waves:

  • Bib numbers are NOT pre-assigned.  Participants 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 is called the Elite or Early 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 as well as participants who are nervous about how long they will be on the course.  There is a Noon cut-off to finish the Sprint on Saturday.  On Sunday, the Half Iron event has a 2:00 pm bike-to-run cut-off and a 5:30 pm overall cut-off.  Participants may still opt into or out of the Elite/Early wave on race weekend by going to the Troubleshooting Desk.
  • 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 even years the men go first.
