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!!!!
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:
My gosh, do people really do that?
The only problem I have with meets running widths, like at GMU, the the opposite wall is usually slick. If there are touchpads at both walls, problem solved.
If the non-starting is is a slick wall, then I vote for bulkheads.
The walls are small tiles, so they aren't really "slick".
The bulkheads are the sandpapery granulated type, so those are even less slick than the walls.
I cant wait....Ive been usuing 2011 long course and short course meters season to train and qualify for Spring Natl's. Im also in that frikin 40-44 group and Im on the bottom quarter when it comes to times, but I have only been swimming a year and Im only a little off qualifying for 50 and 100. but if I dont Im sure as hell going anyway.
