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.

kurt, i'm just razzing ya since you seemed to be an entire topic unto yourself 2 years ago (cough on this subject cough).
and for the record, you dont even do it 1/10th the amount of times the Ande does it.
what is more interesting is that there is another long distance national champion that in the past 5 years has never entered nationals with their best time. and yet is never reseeded. this year they are entered in the 500 and 1650 and neither of their entry times are from last years nats (their 1650 entry this year is 55secs slower than what they went last year and 500 is 14secs slower).
Perhaps the individual in question is simply entering using this season's best times so far, just like NCAA championships.
