I finally made my first QT! In the 1000 Free. Really going to try to get to Greensboro this spring since it's so much closer for me than this summer and next year's meets. The schedule is cleared, the hubby has given his blessing but I still need to work on the cost. I'm hoping to convince someone into coming with me so we can split a room. Next weekend, I'm hoping to make a couple more times. :D
Anyways, I like the 1000, so I'll swim it. But it leaves me pretty wrecked for the next day which is a bummer since I like the 500 Free & 200 *** as well which are on Friday. My Saturday choice would be the 50 *** my Sunday choice would be the 200 Free and/or 100 ***. Which leaves me wondering...
For those of you with more experience flying and swimming, how do you book a flight out on the same day as your last event. I would guess if I left Saturday, the 50 *** might be noon or 1ish? And on Sunday if I picked 100 ***, that might be around 4? Does that seem reasonable? Maybe allow 4 hours from estimated time of last event to be super comfy? 20 minutes cool down, 1/2 hour change, 2hours drive/security/wait for plane...that leaves an hour leeway for guesstimated time of event. Does that sound like enough or cutting it close?
