Triathlon Time Trial Start?

What is this?  I'm assuming this is something different than the normal wave starts I am used to?

Yep, it will be different than a wave start.

Did you have to give them your projected swim time? You'll get a start order, and each person will start a few seconds apart.

I just found out my HIM is doing a similar (though slightly different than a tt) start as opposed to waves. I'm nervous about it, but I think overall it *should* help with the craziness of the start.

I'm considering registering for it, so I haven't had to give anything yet. I was just trying to figure out what the time trial start meant. That sounds much nicer than the wave start!!

This race is one of a series of 3 - sprint, Olympic and HIM - and all 3 are doing the TT start.

I definitely wouldn't let the tt start stop you from registering! You'll have to tell us how it goes if you decide to do it

[emilyj]

The tt start isn't the thing holding me back - it's the run part that's holding me back from registering! :-)

Ahhhhh gotcha . You can do it!
