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.
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.Oh, Chris, if you saw the 1st four 50 splits from my 1,650; looked at my lack of training since November and then looked at the rest of the 1,650 splits, you will understand that I did just "keep going" after the 200 ... there just wasn't much more "go" in the tank.
We just have hardier folk here in Virginia I guess. Maybe that's why Patrick left? :)I left Virginia because it's too cold, grey and rainy for my sunny disposition. Still trying to get to someplace that's a bit warmer year-round, but that's probably going to have to wait until retirement.
Speaking of not being hearty (cue non sequitur), weren't we supposed to have full body, rubber tech suits back in the sport since Michael "Whiny Speedo-Pants Not as Fast as Jaked Suit" Phelps retired? Man, I miss those.
