Maybe because USMS chose to bury the Forums on the new and 'improved' website, but there seems to be little activity now on the forums.
Who of you ~2400 people are STOKED for Indy?
Everyone should be getting almost out of that part of taper where you feel like crap and question all that you have done in your life to get to this point. Hopefully, around Tuesday, you'll start to feel a bit o' easy speed in the water ... but not too much.
Are you thinking about your packing list ... what goes in the checked luggage, what goes in your carry on, if 5 pairs of goggles and 6 suits is enough to see you through any potential swim situation or calamity that might strike ...
If you're coming from Pacific time (like me) are you starting to wake up earlier to pre-set your body clock to eastern time?
What pre-race day and race-day rituals are you thinking about?
What event are you most excited about? For me, it's the 400 IM.
I'm super excited.
I signed up for a CrossFit competition this weekend back in the winter before I knew I could do Nationals so taper is going to be a bit weird but I think I just need some rest on my legs by Friday. Should be OK. It's a team competition and the easier division so I shouldn't be too sore even Monday.
I'm only coming from St Louis and also my brother lives just south of Fishers so I'm staying with him, so that will be nice and also convenient and cheaper than getting a hotel!
I've got a FS2 and goggles, plus I'll pack the used racing suits just in case and another couple pairs of goggles... I have Swedes coming out of my ears all over my house so no problems there.
As for races... I'm excited for the 100 IM because I've never gotten to race that tapered, and the 100 *** because I want to break a minute for the first time - since I've also never done it tapered. The 25-29 mens age group is a buzzsaw so I'm not sure I'll place particularly highly in anything but that's why I picked events that would be fun.
Oh, and I'm excited for relays. I am always excited for relays.
