Too much fun! Hopefully you can host annual meets and in all courses at Mesa in the years to come. And Chinatown at Main &amp;amp; Dobson is going to be our place to eat after meets!&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: MAC 2011 SCM East Valley Invite</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/259198?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sun, 25 Sep 2011 06:59:13 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:b02e8bec-cbc0-46ec-8517-3fa6d57eb8dc</guid><dc:creator>jaadams1</dc:creator><description>Thanks for James and Chowmi coming to visit...fun/fast meet: 19 state records, one national relay record for MAC and another world record in an AZ relay with 3 MAC swimmers on board!

Looks like they&amp;#39;ve updated the psych sheet to add/remove a few people.
 
We lost our sandbagger in the 50 Fly!!  :(

Michelle Chow&amp;#39;s a few lanes over too!  :)
 
 
For not a very large meet, there&amp;#39;s a LOT of fast people in most of the events, among all ages.  That&amp;#39;s something I&amp;#39;m not used to with my meets up here.  This should be fun!! :applaud:
 
I&amp;#39;m seeded with all my best times SCM, and the 800 is the one I think I&amp;#39;ll blow away the most.  The 200 Free, I&amp;#39;m going to try to grab Sean&amp;#39;s ankle and hold on for the ride!

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&amp;#39;s probably a little far to travel, but weren&amp;#39;t you looking for meets this fall?
Kurt Dickson -- I&amp;#39;m sure Paul will let you sandbag if you need to:bighug:&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: MAC 2011 SCM East Valley Invite</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/259101?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 16 Aug 2011 12:35:03 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:c8662f01-df5d-4576-9284-a27ad1563a96</guid><dc:creator>chowmi</dc:creator><description>Econ from DFW is $349 and last time I came I got upgraded to First class both ways!!!
