What is going on and why are autopsys coming back "cause of death unknown." The numbers are concerning, but the lack of explanation is really bothering me. It makes me feel as if something is being hidden. We have come a long way with CT scans, PET scans, x-rays, serum chemical analysis. I don't buy "cause of death unknown" with modern day capabilities.

    Loch Ness Monsters... quite literally. good idea; perhaps this is where USMS needs to step up to the plate to find these weak-swimmer tri's and tri-wannabees and get them in an OW race before they go throw themselves to the Loch Ness Monster. good idea! i think open water event organizers (usms and others) would be doing the tri-world a service if they offered more casual (non-race) events so newby swimmers and wannabe tri's can get their feet wet in the sport. another possability might be to have everyone start 10 seconds apart (fastest swim time to slowest) those ankle chips could keep everyones time in order, and there would be less chance of getting swum over.
