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?
Soooooo,
Since my plan is to go back to my roots as a Free/Flyer. What events would I swim?
Thur
50 Fly
Friday
100 Free
Sat
None - unless I sell my soul to another team. Any offers?
Sun
50 Free
100 Fly - love that these are back to back :groovy:
Now that's 4 individual events. What should the other 2 be?
200 Free on Thursday?
200 Fly on Friday? :toohurt:
400 Free on Sunday? :toohurt:
200 IM on Sunday?
Something else?
Are you sure that is the event order? I thought it was the same as Austin with the relay day thrown in? This makes me happy if it's right!!!
We need to discuss this before the end of the year...
Team Hot Tub??? or maybe other team might like Big Tree Fall Hard and Dances with Water to join the ranks... and even imspoiled might be up for grabs!
:groovy:
Only if Stud is doing the grabbing!:lmao: Had to get that in before he did.:thhbbb:

I hope they split up the 1500 and 800. :dunno: I would be nice for the distance folk to be able to do both if they like. :groovy:
That should be the most recent proposed event order that was presented at Convention. I would love to see Big Tree switch things up and swim the 800 free!

You gave up the mile in Portland. Or are you reconsidering?:afraid:

Where do the other 2 50s fall in?

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!
