Torres out of 100

Wow...John, I respect your opinion, but I gotta call you out on this one. I swam my one LCM meet (one day) this season a month ago. I entered 3 events. I swam the 200 BR first. Had about a 40 minute recovery to the 100 BR and it looked like a 30 minute break to my best and focus event, the 50 BR. Now at 49, I know my body and I only have so many good swims in me in a given day. My "medal" for this meet was to get a Top Ten. I do NOT like to scratch any events, but I reluctantly scratched the 100 (She will vouch my debate.) If I swim both the 100 and 50, I just wasn't going to swim well in either event in this small meet. My choice worked out well for me, but I hardly consider it selfish. Do you? I also noticed you scratched the 200 FR at 2006 Worlds and the 50 BA at SCY Nats in 2006. Of course you did swim other events in those meets... Selfish? Seems like a double standard to me...
