After just swimming a rockin 35+ (even if we are all older than 42) 400 medley relay, I notice that all of the relays at the nationals are sprint. Why is that? Does anyone have any historical perspective? Is it all because of the time line?
Why not run, for example, the 200 free and 400 medley relay one year, and the 400 free and 200 medley relay the next?
And what about an 800 free relay?
I think that there must be some sort of compromise. 800 Free Relay on the distance day? And then every year alternate....year 1 200 medley/400 free year 2 400 medley/200 free. that way every relay is fairly reprsented at the national level.
