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?
Fort,
I understand how you feel. That Sunday order just sucks. I'm not happy about 50 Free and 100 Fly being back to back. Why could they not put the 50 back as the first event after the 400? Or even the 50 Free? Wow, imagine that 50 Free EARLY in the day??? Oh wait....can't have that as evidenced by Austin and Portland. With a 30 minute warmup after the 400, even folks who want to swim the 400/50 combo should be fine.
Is this order for Sunday _that_ bad?
400 Free (men)

I know it's hard pleasing everyone but can there at least be some sort of long term fairness for event orders? Having three events in a row is just impossible to do well, even at Nats.
