Anyone planning to attend Nationals in Omaha? If it wasn't for the venue, I would swim at SCY Nationals. You got to admit, competing in the Olympic Trials pool merely a few hours after Ryan Lochte and Michael Phelps made a splash is awesome!
Jeff impressed me with his fastest in the meet 50 ***. Fast reaction time although he was 0.02 faster in his hundred *** start.
Timothy Shead has amazing fast start times, as fast as some of the sprinters.
I am wondering is anyone is using the grab start now??? With that track assist bar it is a no brainer to go track start.
I wonder if there have been any studies on using your strong side leg versus weak leg back? It might be an advantage using the strongest leg on the front of the platform.
Thanks, Elaine! It was a lot of fun.
I had no designs on getting close to Mike Ross' 100 back world record, because that was a tough time to reach. I just wanted to get under 1:00 one more time. I'm not sure how many 59-second 100 backstrokes I have left in me, but we will see...
I'm happy with all of my swims this past weekend. I swam my fastest time ever in textile in the 50 ***, a lifetime best in the 100 free and right on my Trials time in the 100 ***. I do wish I had been able to swim with Steve West and Gary Marshall in the sprint breaststrokes, but I'm beating a dead horse on that topic.

:applaud: Fantastic! Those are some amazing swims coming right off of Olympic Trials. And, to go under 1:00 in the 100 backstroke on top of it, :bow:!
I hope you stick around USMS; it's great having you! I look forward to seeing you at future Nationals! :agree:

Steve West, David Guthrie, Tim Shead and Bob Strand gave me plenty of incentive to stick around, though I have so much fun swimming Masters that I had no plans on leaving anyway!

All you had to do was swim races 200m or longer to get true time-seeded heats!

You forgot Rick Colella whose 200 WR was the most impressive *** stroke swim
