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?
FWIW, I called yesterday to book my hotel room for the meet. Coming from the west coast, a morning flight arrives at about 8:00p, so I thought it would be wise to arrive a day before the meet (i.e. late on the 4th, with the meet beginning on the 6th).
Turns out that both meet hotels within walking distance of the pool (a) are nearly full, and (b) only offer the lower group rate beginning the night of the 6th.
