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.
Perhaps the individual in question is simply entering using this season's best times so far, just like NCAA championships.
i just looked it up in the usms event ranking database. they have entered nationals 5secs slower than their best this season and they have now swum the 1650 this seaon. wishful thinking, but no.
