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. :)
In my books, there is no better race to swim. It's my favorite event by far ... even when it's too painful for words, even when I'm gasping for air so much I want to skip and underwater *** pullout, even when I suck wind and blow my time. It's an event of beauty and complexity unmatched by any other.
I agree. And I get happy during the race if the feeling of wanting to throw up happens after back stroke :)
