With the psych sheets out for Nationals, I think we should start debating who deserves the biggest sandbagger of the meet award?
I won't name the names of any doctors or last year's national champion, but I've got some nominees in the 500 free:bolt:
Sandbagging is done for a variety of purposes: confidence, get a better lane, get more rest for another event, catching a plane, etc. Since we're not kiddies anymore, I often put a little age buffer. Some find it inherently evil. I don't care as much. Noriko is a curious case as she usually ends up in lane 8, thrashing all of us. Since I don't speak Japanese, I may never know why.
