Remember, you can swim all five events in practice now and use those your meets to "challenge" your established times.That's a great idea. I didn't think of that.
Personally, I'm not so sure I'll be doing many 400IMs and 200 Flys in Stage Three!That's the beautiful thing about this crazy event you've created: I can't wait for Stage Four :)
