Age groupers pre-race. Lets get this show on the road. uy Nice day for a tri. The pro athletes started 5mins before the age groupers. Some of the lead swimmers. The sea looks pretty calm so that would have been a nice swim. They might have to allocate some boxes for transition items in future? Age grouper looking good exiting T1. lo
