OK, I don't have a life...I am already stoked about swimming in the IUPUI pool next August. I think I am one of the few (former) midwesterners who has not swum in that facility. Have always wanted to go to Nationals there but something always came up.
Not in 2009!!!
A bunch of us from Arizona are already planning on going. Yes, even Jeff (Short Course) Commings is going to be a part of this meet! It should be a fun and fast event. Digging the all relay day on Saturday, good job Mel and Kris!
Anybody else stoked?
Effen horrible. Last day, 50 free, 100 fly and 50 back are back-to-back. Who thought that was remotely OK for sprinters?!?! And yet another championship meet with fly-back back-to-back ... I was planning on going, but I may cancel my plans and swim in kid meets. Seriously, this is utter crap.
As a further rant, I would note that the sprint fly and back events have been back to back in all championship meets I've swum in lately, including (since Dec.) the NE SCM Champs (all four on same day, for real torture), CZ SCY Zones in April, SCY Nationals in Austin, and CZ LCM Zones. Does it really have to be this way every single meet? As I recall, the same thing is true for Clovis and now for Indy. C'mon.
At some point, I think the long axis swimmers or the fly/free swimmers or the 5 pack freestylers can suffer and swim back to back events or give up their fav events too. Spread the love!
