I can confirm that at 100%   maybe a long (at least 5km) elimination race might be better, but this thing has nothing to do with traditional endurance open water swimming   designed for good 400/800m specialists in the pool, it doesn't add anything for the actual open water specialists

Honestly, no matter the result, that was a crazy turn around. The Liberals were looking at a repeat of 2011. Truly the "natural governing" party.   One thing the Conservatives should take as a learning experience is make sure you tie the wrongdoings to the party instead of the individual. The Conservatives did a good job at getting the public to turn on Trudeau, but once he was gone we were still fine with the Liberals and didn't particularly like the Conservative leader.
