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.
Fine! I will take "misrepresentation" off the list. The others terms are histrionic, inflammatory and false, which you concede by omission. :)
Nah, I just didn't use them in this thread so I couldn't work up the emotional heat to defend them. It isn't too hard to make an ethical case against either practice, which doesn't necessarily mean much since philosophers love to argue. Whether it is one you would accept is another story.
To meet directors;if someone asked to be in an early heat so they could leave early,would you accommodate them?
Speaking only for myself: no. Nor would I heed a request for a middle lane or to be seeded with no swimmers in the next lanes.
Split requests of course would be honored! Actually the majority of split requests I've had to process as a Top 10 Recorder were not similar to Patrick's but were from people who didn't stop racing after the requested split but just kept going. We just have hardier folk here in Virginia I guess. Maybe that's why Patrick left? :)
