Hey swimmers...there's only a few days left for the entries for this meet in downtown Portland. No excuses like "it's too far away", cause I'm coming from Eastern Washington, and a few others are coming from the Seattle area for the meet. PDX airport is closeby as well. Any takers?
It would be nice to get a lot of entries soon (I know the Oregonians are always last minute at the meet entry game) so we can get a little rest between events. :)

Still smarting from last weekend eh?
I will be there as well. James and I are going to gridge it up in a couple races, so if you like watching old men acting juvenile, we've got you covered. And I hear that James has challenged that young gunslinger Allen Stark to a duel in the 200 ***. Should be exciting, seeing whether Allen can lap James or not. I'll be the one standing at the end of Allen's lane cheering. :cheerleader:

The thought did cross my mind. :)

Bring it Allen...I've always wanted to beat a world record holder! :bolt:
C'mon N'westerners ... James needs a meet where he actually gets to rest between events!
I'll be okay without rest, but I'm more concerned about That Guy. He's a few years :cane: than me.

You'd best respect your elders there youngster, or else I'll be forced to :snore: what were we talking about again?
62 entries online for the meet. With a full series of events, breaks, and relays, this should run just fine.
Special Note: One of the last "last minute" additions last night was Lauren Thies. If you don't know who she is...all of us guys are going to get chicked! :afraid: I'll see how close I can stay to her, at least I'll have a rabbit to chase in my 200 Free, assuming she's swimming it. :applaud:
Good news that in the last 24 hours or so (as expected), the Oregonians all did their last day registration for the meet, and currently increased the swimmers from 34 to 58. There's still 3 hours to go, and the number could double from that! C'mon Oregonians....still looking for a little rest between events!! :applaud:
