I always thought of myself as a sprinter, but had a decent 400 IM LCM this year. Not as many people want to swim it. Some events are way tougher than others, like the 50 free, everybody swims it
Dude, you've got it backwards: some events are way easier than others, like the 50 free, so everybody swims it. Other events, like the 400 IM, are so tough that only the few, the proud, the truly tough swimmers attempt it.
As someone whose fave event is the 400 IM and who has the slowest measured reaction time off the blocks in the history of the sport, I say this without any bias at all.:)
