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.

I was simply stating my preference. A perfect race is a rare thing.
Henceforth I will stop using the term "sandbagger" if others will refrain from saying that "it's only Masters." I don't believe that you can use that expression if you have ever: shaved for a meet, spent $200 or more for a suit, worried about your taper, checked the event rankings, or sandbagged a seed time in one event to give yourself more rest for another.
