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.
Yes, I am stoked. For me, it's the 100 Free. I view it as my marquee event if there is such a thing. At least in that event I'm not going head to head with someone with the initials "pwb". He's just a super fast maniac! See ya in the 50 and 100 fly though. My rituals are too numerous to list but I'm hoping my taper hits the same as last summer in Minnesota. I'll have at least 3 racing suits and 3 goggles packed and ready to roll. Good luck to you and everyone else. Looking forward to seeing everyone and preparing my brain for the salmon run of warmups.
