I've been passing on USMS Nationals for a few years now.I would love for someone to explain to me WHY the 1500 and 800 are on the same day!?!? (and the last day to boot!)
I have noticed that the 50,100 and 200 of all strokes are on a separate days-why aren't all same stroke events lumped back to back on the same day?
If distance is your thing-you're kinda screwed.
Just doesn't seem fair to me.
Just swim the 1500 and get the 800 split as well. That is what I am doing. The only place that had the 800 and 1500 on different was the Colonies SCM Zone champs last Dec. I loved it but Saturday was such a long day because the 1500 was in the morning. I think that I was there for like 10 hours that day because I wanted to get a relay Top Ten and I did.
Muppet is right. The best way to go is do one either the 800 or 1500 at nationals or do the other distance the week later if you have the opportunity. Of course, local Masters 1500 or 800 swims are very limited.
