I just wanted to see what folks' thoughts were on getting an offical 100 fly split during a 400IM? The 100 fly and free (2 of my focus events) are consecutive events at my next meet, but the 400 IM is a bit later in the day and I'd have some time to rest between events if I were to get a split for the 1st 100 fly. I'd just have to concentrate on not getting DQ's while warming down on the last 300.
Has anyone done this- any thought on the plan? Thanks in advance.
Rich,
I sent Kathy this email (below) just to confirm.
If she replies I'll post her response.
I have a feeling the ref should not have allowed you go for that split & have it count.

Hi Kathy
Have a rules question
Can a masters swimmer go for a butterfly split in an IM &
have it count for records & top 10
Ie
swim the 200 IM & go for a 50 fly time
Or
swim the 400 IM & go for a 50 or 100 fly time
Thanks

I did this exact thing at our state meet last spring due to the 100 fly and 50 free being back to back. It counted for top 10.
