short course/long course

Why is it I can do 3600 yards comfortably, but it is a supreme struggle to manage 2500 meters? I can't believe the walls make THAT much difference. I know that part of it is psychological, but my leg cramps last night were not in my head! Since switching over this week, I only did 1600m Mon, 1800m Tu, 2100m Thurs and 2500m this morning. I imagine part of my exhaustion is that I tapered for Ynats, but I always feel this way about long course.
