@TW is the distance based on strava as I garmins lose a lot of accuracy when swimming?
Based on finish times of the first out of the water.
I did the 2012 event, and the first out (On here's very own @JAMIE, IIRC) was around 16:30 - the 2013 fastest was 18:18, then 2014 was 22:02
Garmins are useless for judging distance in swims, as GPS signals attenuate massively through even shallow depths.

^ that's pretty rare for the UK to have a non wetsuit legal wetsuit swim - bad luck!

I am interested in the extent to which my height disadvantage limits me! 170cm puts me 8/9 cm smaller than the average top level female swimmer!
