Subject: RE: Why is the swim so short See I always looked at it from another view. Why are the sprint and oly distances screwed up. I mean you start with the Full distance then go to a Half (which is still truly half of the full. But Oly is not 1/4 of a full (half of a half ). And a sprint is not 1/8 of the full.
Full/Half/Oly/Sprint
4000/2000/1000 (usually 1500 )/500
112/56/28 (most are 24 )/14 (most are ~12 )
26.2/13.1/6.5m (usually 10k, it's close )/3.2m (5k )
Clearly the run is as proportionate to the full.
