    I guess another corollary to this is why does USMS seed distance events slow-to-fast? All the USA Swimming meets I go to seed them fast-to-slow. If the events were seeded like this I bet the sandbagging problem would be greatly reduced. You could have the reverse then... people seeding too fast. This doesn't really happen frequently enough imo to worry about. The way I look at it is... I don't really care what heat someone tries to beat me in... I'm gonna smoke them either way ;) (yes, I'm competitive) :angel:
