1 Baker, Dennis G 48 OREG 1:51.92 1:53.19
26.26 55.08 (28.82)
1:23.90 (28.82) 1:53.19 (29.29)
2 Sims, David E 47 IM 1:58.50 1:53.21

Those guys swam great but I will nevertheless seamlessly segue into a discussion about pianos. Remember the scale described in the piano section of the Swim Slang thread?
calculating the difference between 100 splits in a 200 event helps identify pianos even if you weren't there.
3 or less: could have gone out faster
4-5: good
6-7: try to start out a bit slower next time
8-9: that had to hurt
10+: piano
20+: srsly... what were you thinking
So I calculated the split differences for all 197 of the 200 flys in Atlanta that had proper splits. First finding: we need a new category.
40+: i don't know what to call this
