I've sort of decided to swim the 400IM at Auburn. I've never swum it LCM before (and only once SCY), but will have twice before LCM Nats. I won't have a LCM time before I register, though. Since it seems as if sandbagging is a hot topic now, I want to make sure I enter a fairly realistic time -- but I don't want to end up out of my league either. My question is -- how do your actual LCM times in the 400IM compare to your converted SCY times? For the record, my 200IM SCY/LCM conversion is fairly accurate. Not sure if the same will apply to the 400IM, though.
Now I just hope that Swimosaur doesn't read this, as I will then be committed to swimming the LCM 400 IM. :)

Yes.
As for all those people on the sandbagging thread who spend waaaaaaaaaaaaayyy too much time worrying about how other people enter their events, ignore them, swim your heart out and have fun.
The 400 IM is a sublime event of beauty and grace ... mixed in with just the right amount of pain.
Thanks. 6:30 it is, then.
I was intimidated by the 400 IM SCY, and it was way more enjoyable than I ever thought it would be. As soon as the pain started to set in... on to another stroke. By the last 50, it was painful yet almost euphoric at the same time. I'm actually excited to swim it long course. If nothing else, my teenagers may be (secretly) impressed.
