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.
To clarify, I prefer to swim in a heat against other swimmers who are actually swimming that event AND have entered a seed time that they believe approximates what their actual time will be.As the forum sandbagger in question, that is absolutely what I did. I actually swam the whole 1650 and actually entered the time I thought I was going to do. For the record, I was slower than I expected because I found out the hard way that you die really hard when you take a 1650 out in 53-high.
