What seed times do you use when registering for Master's meets?
A) your best time in a master's meet
B) Your most recent time
C) What you think you will swim for this particular meet
D) other
I have been going with 'C', but am curious what other folks do...
It's masters--it shouldn't matter and people that make a big deal about it suck.
I, like others, usually sandbag a little (like a 1-2 seconds on a 100-200 and 3-4 seconds on a 500) in case I have a stroke or don't train as much as I thought I was going to.
I've been to a few Arizona meets where the best heat in distance events is the first one because everyone puts no time, which is kind of annoying if you are waiting around for a race.
I've been accused of sandbagging in the past. My question: if you enter a time that is still number one seed--does that make you a sandbagger?
