Assuming that Paul's 100 split is as fast or faster than say the top 5 in the 100 in his age group, does he get ranked for the 100? Or does he just get a mention and bragging rights? Do you have to do an open turn at the 100 mark to "finish," or will the split count off a flip? Why would he do it this way? Schedule conflict with the 100, avoiding back to back events, clear water out front of the 1000 swimmers, other reasons, all of the above?
Thanks. I was wondering the same thing. My initial response is that you can't win an event that you don't sign up for. As far as swimming ahead of the 1000 swimmers, could he not just sandbag and give a slower seed time in his entry?
