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!!!!
Thank you for the details. I should know by mid-feb if i'm ready to compete/race at USM Nats. I feel like this is rushing it though, I am so thoroughly out of whack still...I cannot make a prediction
I would encourage you to just go for it! :cheerleader: I joined USMS in February, 2010, and went to Spring Nationals, 2 months later. I was almost the slowest swimmer in my age group and felt completely intimidated, but I soon learned that was wasted mental energy. NOBODY CARED how slow I swam. Instead, I got so much encouragement from the Forumites I met there and ended up having a blast. It was so much fun!
Just go with the attitude that you are going to have fun, meet people, and just soak in the positive atmosphere all around you. I'll be there to cheer you on and I bet other Forumites will be, as well. :agree:
