... In any event I see lots of familiar names in my heat who will be fast including Kurt Dickson.
...
Kurt's in shape and was 4:49 and 10:04 in the 500 / 1000 at the Arizona State meet a few weeks again. I suspect he'll have a very nice mile. Hope you're swimming next to him.
I've also got a 9th seed in the 400 IM and trying to decide if I'd rather have some scratch or not. On the one hand, I tend not to pay much attention to people until the freestyle so lane 4 in the next to fastest heat is not bad; on the other hand, my goal time has me racing with the top seeds. Interestingly, last year in Austin, I was seeded 7th with a slower time; so, at least this event is faster / deeper than last.
