Mass Starts In The Early Days Of Triathlon

1,200 triathletes – one mass start. That must have been quite a scene.
Marine Stadium will have a much more mellow start at the the 2010 USA Swimming National Open Water Swimming Championships and Open Water Pursuit races. Marine Stadium is a great place for a race, but one mass start with everyone from the elite athletes to the newcomers all going off at once made for a “particularly memorable first buoy turn” as remembered by Dr. Larry Weisenthal.
