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. :)
Update -- I swam the 400IM today at a meet, and will swim it once more before Nationals. For me, the time conversion was within 0.06 seconds (using the Swimming World time conversion utility: www.swimmingworldmagazine.com/.../conversions.asp). Not sure that has ever happened to me with a conversion before.
I guess I'm a better LCM swimmer... or my IM turns suck. Probably a combination of both. :)
Thanks for the advice!
Right on! Rock it again when you swim it again.
