2012 Spring Nationals

If I go - I will miss the warm sun & outside pools.

...it's time to turn our attention (or at least mine) to Greensboro, NC...Who is going?I am there for sure. Unlike Jamie Cuervo, I like a "train outdoors / race indoors" approach for peak performance. Plus, just like you, Paul, I had this thought about 2012 ... I'll be aging out of the dreaded 40-44 into the easier and much less competitive 45-49...........oh wait.......craaaaaaaaaaap.

I am there for sure. Unlike Jamie Cuervo, I like a "train outdoors / race indoors" approach for peak performance. I like the indoor competition as well...less "other" variables out there like the wind/rain/snow/sun to worry about. The open space is nice to have though, that is a positive of the outdoor environment.

OK, now that Spring Nationals are over for 2011 (sounds like the hosts did a FANTASTIC job!!!!!), it's time to turn our attention (or at least mine) to Greensboro, NC. Who is going? Who wants to grudge? I will be there ready to rock and roll in the 50,100,200 Free, 50,100 Fly and some random 6th event that I'm not sure of right now. I'll be aging out of the dreaded 40-44 into the easier and much less competitive 45-49...........oh wait.......craaaaaaaaaaap. Look forward to seeing all of you there!!!! I would love to go. It's all going to depend on the $$$$ costs. :bitching:

I'll be there, obviously, swimming at 44.75 years, not that it really matters as Paul says.

I know that this is the Spring Nationals thread,but what about turning your/our attention to Summer Nationals at Auburn.LCM we get to swim without having to turn every time we get our rhythm going(to those who think this is a good argument for open water I'd agree if they had an OW 100 BR.)

Who is going? :ohyeah:

The Greensboro rep was in Mesa getting the word out. It looks like it's going to be a beautiful pool!

FWIW, 99% certain I will not be going. After the fiascoes of Indy and Atlanta, I have convinced (read: psyched out) myself that I do not "travel well" or swim as well indoors as out. I loved Clovis and Mesa - not so keen on Indy or ATL. Did like Austin, though... So unless the SO persuades us to go, I will be looking for a taper meet on the Left Coast in April - maybe something in Federal Way if possible, and otherwise Pacific Champs down Roque's way.

Well, Allen, as much as I would like to agree with you, I just can't :D You are welcome to start a thread concerning 2011 Summer Nationals, just don't try to hijack mine :bliss:
