Hi
I have a sprint tri OW tomorrow. 300+ swimmers will be set off at the same time. I am normally in the top 5th swim time. Where should I position myself at the beginning - at the front and have people swim over me or at the end and overtake others?
Thanks Anna

I don't mean to be kurt but the answer entirely depends on you. What do you think ?
I'd be worried if your a top 5 something that you'll get swam over. Go for it. Pick your line from the front of the pack - first 100m hard , take no shit of anyone and then be out the water soonest
Good luck
Thanks for your reply. That is very interesting. The swim is my best bit. In the end I usually finish 2nd age group and top 3rd overall. I did not receive your reply before the event and was advised to tay back, which I did. I got my worst time but came out in the top 20.
