I will see if I have her email address saved. i agree, amount of surface chop too. If the draw for the weekend was swimming laps in a 25 yard long pool, then an OW swim is a whole different sport. I'd add year-to-year differences in a participants' motivation, training/peaking for 25yd pool events, psychological factors such as water temperature, different drafting opportunities or rules, illness, true distance. i haven't looked at the venues or the results, so all that's from the hip. Speculation aside, you could email the swimmers directly.
George, think Marilyn Bell would be open to autographing my copy of the book?
