There is a Master's meet in Atlanta this Sunday which starts at 10 AM. I haven't been to one before so I was wondering how long they last and is there a certain order to the events.

Not to defend the sandbaggers out there, but there are times when I've entred a slower time due to the event schedule. For example, when two events I want to swim are back-to-back (or on either side of events with low participation like the 200 fly or 400 IM). In those cases I will enter a slower seed time for the first event in order to have some rest before the second. It has nothing to do with blowing people away and everything to do with not blowing up myself!
I think that's kind of the deal too though Dana, part of the risk that we should assume. I'm not saying I haven't marginally adjusted but this has been my first year. I guess next year will tell.
