They started the swim leg one girl at a time, every 3-seconds, and in the order of their projected time. This was the first girl out of the blocks, and, true to form, she was the first to finish, by a long-shot. However, she only did the swim leg as part of a relay.
The start of the swim was funny, because, the water was very shallow, and the competitors had to slosh their way through the water for about 75-yards before the could dive in and swim. Some would dive in early, only to pop right back up because it was faster to high-knee it, than swim. It was quite fun to watch them frolicking through the water. I guess that turned the 500-meter swim into a 425-meter swim.
The entire race was made up of 75-meter slosh, 425-meter swim, 10-mile bike, and 5k run. It seemed like a nice course, and the race was very well-organized.
