Yeah, basically. We started in the water, but we had to climb up out of 
the water and run a few steps up a ramp before the timing mat.

This reminds me about how they had the "Degree of Difficulty" on the 
bike and run course (the toughest section of the course, sponsored by 
Degree antiperspirant). I noticed immediately that they didn't have it 
labeled on the swim course, and I also thought they they *should* have 
labeled it, right at the first turn buoy. That's always a mess in a 
small race, let alone when 1800 people start at the same time.
