Final decision for events at BC Provincials

I had a look again last night at the event list for the upcoming BC Provincials in Surrey to decide what events I want to swim. I must say this year the events are very poorly spaced out as some events like 100m freestyle and 100m butterfly were back to back (not that I'm swimming those races but it's a good example. A lot of people who swim one would do the other as well).
Anyways, after careful consideration, I've decided to enter into the following events:
Day 1 - 200m backstroke and 50m butterfly
Day 2 - 200m freestyle (swum as IM), 100m backstroke and 800m freestyle.

I realize that there is only 1 event on Saturday between the 200m backstroke and 50m butterfly but I figured that since my main event on the first day is 200m backstroke, the fact that I wouldn't get much rest between that and the 50m butterfly isn't that important since the race is only a 50 and I'm doing it mostly for fun.

On Sunday, I may or not may swim the 800m freestyle depending on how tired I feel. I will enter it anyway since it is the very last race and it doesn't really matter how I swim it. If I do swim it, I hope to go a time around 12 minutes.

Anyways, that's about all. I tried my best to come up with the best events possible based on the schedule they've provided. Let's hope that next year they come up with a better schedule that will take into account most people's event choices!

I agree, the event order sucks.

12 minutes for an 800? Wow. That's pretty quick. I couldn't do that.
