Registration closes in two days, this Wednesday. If you are thinking about making the trip to southwestern Vermont, shoot me an email so that I can be on the lookout. Thanks, and good luck to everyone swimming this weekend! :cheerleader:

Of course, once I get your commitment for next year's meet, James, I'll build it around you: bookend the 2fly and 4IM first and last, and add a 1650 kicker in the middle. :D At least make the 400 IM first. That's a painful SOB of an event to have at the end of a meet.

Split up the 50s and 100s of the same stroke. I tossed that idea around a bit, but ended up going with a Pentathlon-type event order because I think that the swimmers in our area will be looking more at swimming certain distances more than strokes. and no 200 Fly or 400 IM??? I brought both of these suggestions to the group, and was turned down (I think that with the exception of my buddy Brent, I might have been the only one to sign up for either). It seemed like a stretch to get the 200 IM in the order, so you might see me swimming that again. Thanks for checking it out. Of course, once I get your commitment for next year's meet, James, I'll build it around you: bookend the 2fly and 4IM first and last, and add a 1650 kicker in the middle. :D

Mike, I was looking at your meet format, and one suggestion at least for the next time: Split up the 50s and 100s of the same stroke. The rest of it is fine, but some people might want to do the 50 and 100 ***, and having them back to back just would deter them from possibly entering. ...and no 200 Fly or 400 IM??? That's why I didn't sign up! :bolt:
