My first ever meet. What a fabulous place to be. The pool was everything they raved about, the customer service, friendliness, having it all together, going the extra mile, you just couldn't ask for more. Everything ran fast, smooth and tons of fun. I would come back in a heart beat. I'll be recommending this to all my friends. Not only are the facilities great but the people are also. I hope they have more meets soon. I agree with everything and bolded my emphatic agreement. Awesome on all accounts.

I hope they have more meets soon. That being said, my idea for an "off the beaten path" meet is to see if any one can swim a mile without a break in their therapy pool.

Can't wait to swim at this pool. Now, I need to get in shape. I am thinking of doing a 50 split in the 1500 free. :)

That's called "pulling a Tall Paul." Although I think he did a 100 split in a 1000. Better yet, do a Laura Val and get all your free recognized distances as split requests. Didn't she crush every distance record once en route to a 1500?

8:00 am! How do you possibly expect me to get up early enough to beat out the hordes of Team Z (for Zombies?) time trialians who will spare no expense to ruin swimming for pool swimming enthusiasts. Is it too late to change the sign up time to a much more civilized gentleman's 11 a.m.? I am thrilled thrilled thrilled because I won't be swimming before 11:00 am. Why on Saturday, I might not swim until after 2:00. I usually dislike long course, but am really looking forward to this fairly close to home meet in a fantastic pool!

Even better...... I'm going to grab 79 of my closest 400 IM friends and we're all going to enter the 1500; we'll hold it hostage until the 400 IM is moved to a more sane and reasonable part of the agenda. In all seriousness, though, I will be up at 5am, I will be entering the 1500 and I will be swimming the first 400 as a 400 IM, then loafing the rest of the swim. Rest assured, though, the entry time will be spot on what I end up doing so I won't run amok of the Anti-Sandbag-Police. And, yes, I know the time won't be official and won't count for TT, but that's not what I swim for. Besides, that will be my 'prelims' swim in preparation for the 400 IM 'finals' on Sunday. I am looking forward to the meet.

8 a.m.! Chris, I live in the eastern time zone. 8 a.m. in Richmod is, well, 8 a.m. in Pittsburgh. How do you possibly expect me to get up early enough to beat out the hordes of Team Z (for Zombies?) time trialians who will spare no expense to ruin swimming for pool swimming enthusiasts. Is it too late to change the sign up time to a much more civilized gentleman's 11 a.m.? Even better Jim...I can gather up a bunch of my buddies on the west coast, and we can all logon precisely at 5:00am PST to flood the 1500 event with registrations. Who knows if we'd actually make the cross country trip for the event though?

Something seems a little off about that...give me a second, it'll come to me...
