How does a triathlon display everyone's correct finishing time on the finish line clock if the competitors start in waves five minutes apart? Everyone finishes under the same clock.
I'm really confused with this. What am I missing?

It doesn't display everyone's correct finishing time. If your wave starts 10min after the first wave then your time will be about 10 min slower than the time on the clock.
In this example your time would actually be 10 minutes faster than the time on the clock.
