only if they took 150metres off the swim. The swim is still 3.8k, they just tack on an extra 150m of sand running after it. If the timing mats were at water's edge it would be a more accurate swim time but it's not practical

I've always found it annoying swimming behind others. There's nothing worse than going along in a nice rhythm and have the person in front suddenly start doing breaststroke because they're tired. I have no problem with people breaststroking, I just don't want it right in front of me. I also find I'm constantly flicking peoples feet and I don't like that either. And if you're in waves you don't want people washing into you.
I know lots of people love drafting in the swim but it's not for me. just my 2c

Time - 93 minutes. I recall reading somewhere a few years back the overall average IM swim time was 76 minutes (maybe IMG keep tally)
