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.
Camaraderie. Learn it, live it.
Yes, I did stay in the water until the heat was finished. Like I said, I didn't beat most of them by much. Three of us were under 15 minutes, three under 14 minutes. All entered at least 15 minutes. It was a championship meet, aren't time drops to be expected?
I also had the 100 backstroke to swim in the next event.
Sanbagging or strategic entry. Not a crime, no victims. Plenty of histrionics.
