My wife was in heat 1 lane 4 for the 1500 ...She has been swimming long enough to know there is likely to be someone in that heat who will crush their seed time so when 2 swimmers were way in front of her right away she knew to swim her own race and swam her age group PB , 2 min under seed time.
This is an important swimming skill to learn. The best athletes are the ones who know how to swim their own races and stay competitive despite adverse circumstances. If sandbaggers completely throw you off your game, they may not be the only problem...:afraid:
Let me amend a little. I would never intentionally sandbag because I do think it's kind of cheesy. That said, letting someone else's sandbagging sabotage your swim is your (mental) choice...
