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.
Why allow swimmers more opportunities to get more times without a beat down?
I think Leslie might just be jealous. Since USMS doesn't swim 25s, she can't submit split requests in her 50s and slow down her heats by 0.5s... :)
On a more serious note, sometime in the last couple years didn't a woman submit split requests for everything possible during a 1000 or 1650 and break all sorts of records along the way?
