8 minute mains I can understand but 8 minute qualifiers must be super-boring...

Now, you guessed right. We are seldom more than 20-30 persons in total in each class, so we have plenty of room for longer heats
Well, since we now only qualify for best total time (not round-by-round) it's quite exciting actually! We race hard and go for it 100% in the qualis as well!
I like the possibility of recovering in a longer final. Not much you can do in 5 minutes only... I'm used to 45 minute mains from 1:8 TR, which is really excellent! ... one day...
Imagine electric classes with really long finals and christmas tree finals... how cool wouldn't that be?
