WHY the rule this year regarding 1000 OR 1650 but not BOTH?
I have been swimming both, back to back, consistently, in championship meets (and BTW placing in the top 10) for several years. Distance is my forte and it's simply not fair to restrict a swimmer from doing both, especially if they can "handle" it. There are all sorts of qualifying rules, a simple restriction / requirement on times could solve any perceived problems by the meet administrators. IMHO this is NOT FAIR....:(
Actually no flaws since I said "let's assume" in order to get an order of magnitude estimate and there was no assumption about seeding just the average time it takes the last swimmer in each heat to finish - a tough one to guess if you have someone take an hour to finish the 1650!
