Send me some miles and I will join the smack down. Of course, I might get smacked alot. It would be fun to try to put out good swims in these 3 events.

Okay all you distance-oriented, western-based forumites, James and I have locked up 2 of the coveted 24 slots for the 800 on Sunday and we have committed to the nasty triple. Who else has game to join us?
Calling ...
Aquageek -- come love the pool you loved so much in spring; burn those FF miles you just earned from your riot tour of the UK
knelson -- this will be a piece of cake after Big Shoulders
Ande -- master of the mid-distance these days, this would be a great season-starter for you
gdanner -- okay, it's probably a little far to travel, but weren't you looking for meets this fall?
Kurt Dickson -- I'm sure Paul will let you sandbag if you need to:bighug:
Nice to see some out of state folks already entered, should be a great weekend! By popular demand we will be adding in relays!
Geek...get your ass on a plane buddy!
Patrick...I already entered Kurt....he just doesn't know it yet!

Agreed.
Patrick...I already entered Kurt....he just doesn't know it yet!Kurt's claiming something about having to work that weekend, I think. I guess you'll swim in his place if he doesn't show, Paul?
Thanks for the workout today.

As long as I get to swim in the final heat with all these Arizona distance speedsters, all will be good.
