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.
It's a tough double either way, but I think the guys have a tougher double between the two sexes. Women swim the 1000 first, then wait for the 10-11 minutes of the Men's 1000 before they swim the 200 Free. Men swim the 1000 Free, wait the 2-3 minutes of the Women's 200 Free, and then it's go time again.
Maybe I'm just whining now...I'll go home. :)
Only when it's a co-ed dual meet (which most of ours weren't). She had to double back to back and race both times... Just sayin' :)
