After the world record, Ledecky spoke about “recalibrating” her goals for the summer. She had reasoned that anything under 15:30 would be a good objective for U.S. Nationals and the Pan Pacific Championships after she won the 2017 World title in 15:31.82. But beating that mark by more than ten seconds two months before championship season changes things.

I hate it when this happens, and you have to recalibrate expectations because you are swimming too damned fast (in a non-championship meet, with no taper and not shaving, Ledecky swam 15:20).
