Who's bright idea was it to have the 1,000 free and the 500 free back to back with less than 24 hours rest?

Mark,
Your second post was better and got to the root of the issue.
Now.....
If people complain that the 500 is the last day and the sprinters want to leave......... then let them. 500 participants will make their plane fares later in the day or the next morning if they really want to swim it. I think you've nailed the issue on the head ! It's about placing the 500 last in the event schedule.
No one will stay to watch because the meet is basically over.
So what. Tough luck Mr. 500 man. At least you got some rest ! Swimming the 500 free so late in the day should not be a reason to move the event so close to the mile and the 1000.
