Start Wave Placement is the new change for this years Peachtree Road Race. So what this means is that registrants will be seeded, or placed, based on finished times submitted from a USATF certified race. So for instance I ran the Silver Comet Race on March 13, 2010 and my finished time was 50:28. According to the chart my Start Wave would be Sub Seed A which appears to be any finised time between 49:59 and 53:58. Being that I've placed in the same area for the last couple of races I'm not sure how this is any different from the last seeding system. My best guess is that it'll switch some people around and move some newbies closer to the front. Either way it should make for an exciting race!
