Major 1650 sandbagging by a forum member

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.

  • You're completely correct. Since I asked hypothetical questions I think they are arguing with how they assume I would answer (which I didn't). For my next illusion, I'm going to get a bunch of sprinters all worked up. This was hardly a neutrally worded question: "Aren't doing split requests fundamentally unethical and egocentric; doing your own special event that suits your convenience in the beginning of completely different event for everyone else in the heat?" Sprinters are true divas. However, I note we rarely "get our underwear in a bundle" (to quote the sheepish sandbagger) about sandbagging or split requests. And we clearly are not the only ones using them. I like Gull's proposal.
