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.
To be honest, one of my favorite warm downs after a practice is 300 yards/meters done as 100 back, 100 ***, 100 free. Often I don't have enough time so I'll just do 50 of each (and even more often lately, just a 50 or 100 easy!). Anyway, the 300 (back-***-free) is almost perfectly suited to be a warm down after a 100 fly, in my opinion.
My personal unsolicited opinion is I don't like all the split requests and think swimmers should do a better job of just working with the meet event order and "dealing with it." But again, there is nothing against the rules to doing a split request, it's just my opinion (influenced from my perspective as a meet director because split request swims usually interfere with the flow of the meet; and Hytek doesn't make it easy to submit the times with their software so often the times never get submitted anyway).
