Chaos, I think that the organizers made the best of a bad situation. My disagreement is with the decision to turn 75% of the swimmers back. I didn't see lightning, or hear thunder and was unable to find anyone who did.
The risk of injury is always present in OW. In this case the race could have continued for all swimmers with little additional risk. The disappointment of the swimmers who were pulled was understandable.
I think the vast majority of the swimmers were honest. They knew they had to be and I think they were.
The results have not been posted, so we don't even know who finished.
At this point, I am going to presume that everyone understood their obligation and told the truth.
