I've been watching and waiting for information regarding Long Course Nationals - particularly hotel information. I finally found a link on the Spire site to USMS hotels. As I began the process, I found this curious statement:
This is a "Stay to Play" tournament.
All teams are required to reserve a hotel room block through
Traveling Teams in order to participate in the tournament.
Does this mean that individuals are prohibited from booking their own rooms? Due to the lack of information, many of us have already booked rooms that meet our personal needs. Can someone clarify?
I think there is a Yogi Berra-ism here. If everybody stops entering 200s, then we can definitely seed them by age group...
I want to race my competitors in championships. If accomplishing that means I will have to train for different events, so be it. At least my race experiences will be much more positive that way. It's very frustrating to be an older swimmer, yet fast for my age group and end up in lane 1 or 8, racing super fast people half my age and feeling not at all competent. I get out of the water feeling super frustrated and having no idea how I placed.
