LCM Nats Event Order - Snubs Distance Events

Just curious, but is anyone else out there upset that the 800 and 1500 are on the same day at LCM nationals and that you can only swim one of the events? Not that I would swim both on the same day and think I could recover to swim well the rest of the weekend but I would like to be able to swim both events rested and tapered at National Championships. Mission Viejo's format in 2005 accomodated both races. Why can't other hosts do the same?:shakeshead:

If they have a 4-day meet, the distance events are on the same day. 1996, Ann Arbor: 5 days 1997, Orlando: 4 days 1998, Ft. Lauderdale: 4 days 1999, Minneapolis: 5 days 2000, Baltimore: 4 days 2001, Federal Way: 4 days 2002, Cleveland: 4 days 2003, Rutgers: 5 days 2004, Savannah: 4 days 2005, Mission Viejo: 5 days 2006, Worlds (Stanford): 7 days 2007, The Woodlands: 4 days 2008, Gresham: 4 days
