Looks like it is to gain 20 minutes of rest before doing the 400 IM.
What do you folks think? Fair play or not?
I say anyone attempting the 1650 and 400 IM back to back deserves some slack.
Perhaps this person is going for a split? I did that double last August in a long course meet but I was going for a 400 split in the 1500. My estimated time still put me in the final heat of the 1500 so it didn't gain me any rest. Actually I think the 400 IM was first in that meet.
