She was 4:10-low on the last 400 of her 800, so I would think she would go a little faster than 4:08, even as a prelim swim. History has shown that attempting to be logical with Kate Ziegler's split times is a futile exercise. When she broke the 1500 world record in 2007 she was faster on the 800 split than she was in the individual 800 just two days prior at the same meet. She is one of those swimmers that can go close to full speed at rhythm and just maintain it. One of the issues for her in 2008 was shortening of her stroke trying to get the speed for the 400 and down to the 200 for a spot on the relay. That in turn may have hurt her in the longer distances where she really needed that longer stroke for pacing it to the rhythm best suited for her. I think she should just focus on the 800 (and 1500 for worlds) and look at the 400 as a bonus.
