2009 LCM Nationals in Indy (IUPUI)

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?

  • Um, 50 free and 50 back are not back to back, Dana. (My other good event separates them.) I'm irritated that all 3 are back to back on the last day. I know you probably get enough rest at Nats if you have two. I have the same problem at other big meets as well, however, where you do NOT get enough rest. If they're just rotating the same 3 orders of events, maybe they should think about changing the 3 possibilities every once in awhile. Boo hoo on the 1500. 50 free is very often the last event of a meet too. And 50 back (my best event) is at the very end here (and was in Austin and will be in Clovis too --- WTF, 3 national meets in a row?!). They're not great events to have last either when you're dead tired. Sprinting is exhausting too. Just not inspired to drop mega dollars on that.
