My sisters did this a few years back and were really pissed about the way the whole thing was set up. Both sisters are champion swimmers but had to start BEHIND the senior men's group. It really slowed them down having to swim behind men three times their age and they still finished with the youngest men's group in front. When one of them complained about the women being put behind the oldest men's group, they were completely blown off. Boooooo!!!!

Callaway Gardens, I have to say though, is a beautiful place. I'm training for the Wheels o' Fire century next March.
