All right, Mr Smith the Elder, now you've done it. Now you've really got me mad. I'll remind you of this discussion next spring, before Austin, when Grace & I are swimming for AZ and you are swimming for West Nomadic State University, where they have promised you a pair of red sox to swim for their beat up old relay team of ex fraternity brothers.
We'll see who swims for the old 'home team' in Austin.....
I was just at my first masters meet yesterday, and intentionally didn't register for back-to-back events, and I'm glad I didn't. The heats were mixed and there was almost no time between events.
For this Arizona meet, how many people show up, and are heats mixed or separate for men and women? I want to get an idea how much time there would be between events if I were considering back-to-back events like the 200 free and 200IM.
edit: I see the answer to one of my questions right on the entry form, events will be pre-seeded men & women together, slowest to fastest.
OK, Paul, you've humbled me. Due to changing circumstances, Grace & I will be at the ASU meet. I'm signing up for the 200 BR and 200 FL. Are you, or are you going to do a total of about 200 for the whole meet?
Mel...as i've said all along..Grace knows what shes talking about so its about time you listened! We';; buy her (not you) the first beer after the meet!
And FYI....swimming the 100/200 free on Saturday now that we can fly back from red Wing that morning and attend!
Right now, I don't know how many people have signed-up for the meet but the size has varied over the years. It was at about 230 a few years back but has dropped down to around 100 for the last couple of years.
Word 'round the campfire is that Michael Collins is bringing the NOVA team from SoCal to support this meet. Plus, we will probably get several folks from San Diego at this meet as well.
I would not expect a huge meet but this year it will probably be in the 150-180 range. That is a guess on my part though...
Parking usually sucks on Friday (may have to pay). Usually on Sat/Sun no problems (unless a football game--then see Friday). Chairs are OK, plenty of deck space.
Limited shade on deck....its been record breaking temps this week (96 last two days) so bring a pop up if you have one....supposed to cool to mid-80's by next weekend.

I just bought my ticket. I'm in the 50, 100, 200, 400, 1500 free, 50 fly,50 back, 50 ***, and 100 IM.
What's the parking situation like there on the ASU campus?
Edit: one more question, at my last meet I saw some smart people brought folding camping chairs with them. After sitting on bleachers all day I appreciate why that's a good idea. Are they going to care if people bring their own deck chairs or do they want to keep the area uncluttered?
