Is it better to enter an event where you would place 6th out of 8 entrants, or one where you would place 14th out of 23? Discuss :D

    What is your objective for this meet? Is it a season-ending championship where you want to see the culmination of your training? Is it a team focus meet? Is your team needing a couple of points from your swim? Is it time to get past a stale spot and try events you haven't swum for a while or have never tried? Psych sheets do just that = psyche you up or psyche you out. Being seeded x out of y doesn't mean that's how you'll finish. Seed times don't match performances, people scratch/DQ, deck entries, etc. That's why we have to actually swim! :)
