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?
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!
Um, I'm a long axis swimmer. I'm looking at the 100 back and the 100 free back-to-back on day 2 and the same 50 free/ 50 back combo on day 4. BTW, the last day of the meet is Day 5--Monday, where they have kindly added the distance events. Nothing like a 1500 at the end of a long travel meet.
All the sprinters need to stop complaining. You can swim 6 events of various sprint distances, spread out throughout the meet. Those of us that like swimming the 800 & 1500 however, have them lumped together on the same day--generally with restrictions on entering both events (i.e. having to give up one of them).
On the bright side--there's nothing compelling me to swim on Thursday, so maybe that can be travel day! I'll just need to get there in time to see if the piano drops on Michelle on the lst 50 of the 200 free!!:bliss:
