The afternoon commentator (name?) needs to get a clue... He raves about Michelyn Baker taking 40 seconds off her seed time in the 200 free. :doh:
The facts:
1. She has a good stroke and is 48 years old.
2. She is swimming in HEAT 2, along with women who are 83, 80, 75, 75, etc, and clobbers the field.
3. She swam 1:13.55 in SCY 100 free, in November, but seeded 3:30.00 for the 200 here, which would convert to around 3:05 SCY.
It's obvious she was sandbagging big time to give herself more time before her next event. Fine; this is not a statement about whether sandbagging is good/bad/ugly. This guy just needs to get a clue and not commend and praise her for taking 40 seconds off her seed time when she obviously set her time that slow to swim in that heat! :2cents:
