But there was some piano precipitation down there in Clovis. This is just a sampling, with names changed to protect the wounded. It hurts just reading some of these!

10 Babygrand, Kerry 52 WCM 2:25.00 3:07.45 (:confused:)
25.95 55.86 (29.91)
1:18.53 (22.67) 3:07.45 (1:48.92)
-- Ouch, Margaret 37 CHIC 2:18.40 DNF (:sad:)
30.34 1:03.92 (33.58)
1:55.07 (51.15)
The second to last one looks like a problem with the timing system. The last one... maybe she requested an official split of her first 100, but then didn't finish the second 100.
The second-to last one was Kerry O'Brien, who requested a 100 split and then did 100 fly easy. No piano, and 55.8 is a great swim in 100 fly for a 52-year-old. I bet the weird timing is b/c he stopped after the 100 to catch his breath before continuing. Kerry couldn't get to the meet until today.
Remember that you have to complete the event legally for a split to count, so the last one was probably a true DNF not a 100 split request.
You missed Bill Specht (sorry I didn't change the name, but the man IS a hall-of-fame swimmer :bow:), who is a great butterflyer and won the event, but could barely get his arms out at the end:
1 Specht, William 2:02.71
26.43 56.24 (29.81)
1:26.88 (30.64) 2:02.71 (35.83)
Bill was a couple heats before me and I watched him finish...we are roughly the same speed, and it always really gives me pause to see someone dying badly when I am about to swim this event.
Completely different subject: can anyone identify whose splits these are in the 500 free and why they are so impressive?
