You know the Tech pool, Jeff. There really is no "bad" lane. The only negative is that if you're a one-sided breather (like I am) you'll only see your competition half the time. :)
I'm near the outside in most of my events, and I'm going to look at it as a positive -- there will be faster people to push me. And the way you're swimming right now, I'll bet you move way up in finish position within your heat! :)
Oh, I'm just being a baby about it....its two of my lesser events anyway. I actually have done some of my lifetime best swims as an age grouper in lane 1 or lane 10....no worries. If I swim my own race I'll have blinders on anyway.
