I wonder who from the people I talked to in competitions, shows up in three weeks for the Short Course Nationals in Tempe, Arizona.
Jim Thornton, maybe? After good training, maybe?
(I follow Jim's posts in this forum, even when I don't post).
Or Ian Smith? After training to the tune of 10,000 meters a week, for sprints only?
(Ian is maybe a long shot to come to Arizona, since he came to the 2002 Long Course Nationals in Cleveland because of the proximity to Montreal).
Fritz Lehman? Who trains backstroke, and tries to remember freestyle when getting on the blocks for a freestyle race?
Gail Roper? Who was having surgery after the Long Course Nationals in August 2002?
Paul Smith?
The Winner of many sprints and middle distance drop-dead races?
Laura Val? Who was saying in August 2002 "I will look forward to seeing it." regarding a promised interview of me by a magazine, interview that never materialized because I didn't hear again about it?
I will be in the 2003 Short Course Nationals in Tempe, Arizona, for the 1000 free, 100 free, 200 free and relays.
I trained for these races since last August, and I hope I will do well.
