Why time would I start with this wave process?
Answer - Wave starts are normally by age groupings or a comibination of age groups. This is to spread out competitors for a safer event. While indicative wave starts are published now these are subject to change at anytime. Final wave starts are released usually 2-3 days before the race once competitor numbers are confirmed. Waves also allow a maximum number of competitors to start at once and allow similary aged athletes to race against each other should they enjoy that competitive part of triathlons.
