Start Info:

Random, each day, with Trialers segregated and starting earlier. Please note that if you miss your start time you will have the option of (a) starting as soon as you arrive at the start, with your official time starting at your originally scheduled start time (e.g. if you're 30 seconds late, you'd likely want to do this), or (b) you may ask for a later start, for comparison purposes ONLY - your result will not be eligible for Team Trials if you reschedule your start time.
