That's funny. I saw this swim and didn't realize I was watching TheGoodSmith (TM). I don't think you call that bad pacing. I think you call that a 200 for time followed by an 800 cool-down :)
All I know is that when Goodsmith's 1000 splits were posted on the results site I finally understood the phrase "helpless with laughter", but I applaud his jam...
Life is about strategy........... negotiations..... positioning.
You take it out hard and go for the TV camera footage early in the race. After all, these first laps are the ones that always feel the best.... When it comes to the 1000 and the mile I say "Carpe Diem" people......... live for the moment.
A little 200 for time during the 1,000 keeps your foes on their toes. It give Mr. Gill food for his announcements as well.
Evil Smith..... if Bobby Patten doesn't have enough sense to stay OUT of the 500, mile and 200 fly, it is not my problem. No one cares about those foolish events (along with breastroke) anyway.

Those of us who go against you in the 100 IM do.
Mr. Commings..... even though my measly 53's for 100IM's are not sufficient to over power that strange stroke on the 3rd length, I have one ultimate revenge in the end..... i.e. old age.
Every year I will drag you with me, like it or not..... :-)
