Colonies Zone SCY Championships - Fairfax VA

But lets look at it a little different way. Are the other 1650 / 1000 events that can be swum in the area? Yes, in fact, although apparently not nearly enough. I'm doing check off challenge this year and am having trouble finding many 1650's and 1000's offered. But for argument's sake, there's a nice meet offered by Maryland Masters at UBMC pool where the entire morning session is devoted to the 1000. No cut off as far as I can see. And currently only 34 people entered, only one of whom appears to be from Team Z. I have no dogs in this fight; I avoid long distance like the plague. I can understand both sides. But at the end of the day, I do find it disappointing that a very high proportion of the swimmers that filled this championship's events don't even have a previous time posted for it (per previous poster).... particularly when there are other options out there for a time trial if that's what they're after.
