The OTC in the 400 LCM free is 4:19.39
Janet swam 4:22.84, which is 98.7% of the OTC.
Historically Janet's best 400 is 4:03.85 = 106.4% of OTC.
The OTC in the 800 LCM free is 8:50.49.
Earlier this year Janet swam 8:59.06, which is 98.4% of the OTC.
Historically Janet's best 800 was 8:16.22 = 106.9 % of OTC.
Basically she is just as competitive in the 400 as the 800, the slightly larger drop in her 800 is probably not statistically significant.
Another approach is to compute the ratings for her swims. There are a couple of rating calculators on the web, one by Great Bay Masters (GBM) and another by Virginia Masters (VM).
race VM/GBM
400@4:22.84 = 102.4/102.1
800@8:59.06 = 103.6/104.2
At least in comparison to other USMS swimmers, her 800 is slightly more competitive.
I was going to analyze Janet's 1500 too, but somehow the results for the women's 1500 have disappeared from the SPM Swim Phone results.
