Is this doable or crazy

I qualified in the 400 IM, 200 free and 50 *** for SCY Nationals. Is it crazy to think I can do back-to-back-to-back events? I have a change of scoring in the 400 IM but doubtful in the other 2 events so they aren't as important to me. This will be my first SCY Nationals so I don't know what time to expect in between events.

    Just do it. From everything that I have heard about nationals, you should have ample time to recover and warm-up again for your events.

    At the St. Nick's meet in dec., a few of the atlanta area swimmers said they were under the impression that men and women would be on separate courses. The diving well would be the warm-up/down area.

    This is incorrect. The meet info sheet specifically states that women's heats will precede men's heats (except for the 1000 and 1650 which could potentially be seeded together). Having men and women at separate ends of the pool wouldn't be a great idea because the meet would get off balance and end up taking longer. That said, I don't see how this would affect your decision much. In one case you've got all the odd or even heats in between your events, in the other you've got ALL the women's heats (as opposed to half) in between. It's six one way, half a dozen the other. I was reporting what was told to me. I haven't seen the meet info. Thanks for the correction
