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!!!!
They can run widths (two 10 lane courses) or bulkheads (two 8 lane courses). That decision won't be made until after the entry deadline. If the meet is small, I'm sure we'll run bulkheads (wider lanes). Otherwise we'll run widths.
I'm sure with the meet on the east coast (where 80% of the swimmers are in 20% of the states), the meet will probably be pretty heavily attended, I would guess.

However, I like the sneaky approach of waiting to determine the course layout until the entries are closed ... surely this will mess with the minds of those who try to strategize their entry times for optimal lane positioning. :bolt:

If you want the middle lane, just enter the 50 Free with a 14.22 or something. The directors probably wouldn't catch a severly reverse sandbagged time like that! :D
I vote for bulkheads just so I can hear even more whining by the sprinters. That never gets old, never.
Ah distance swimmers, if you can't get the turn right once, swim distance, you have plenty of opportunities to achieve mediocrity.

Is this your offer to count for me on Thursday? Thanks, BFF.I may be too busy measuring the depth of my lanes, or calculating the BMI of the competitors in my heat. But if that ends up to my liking, I'll take you up on that.
