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.
Who is going to do the announcing for HIS swims? Or is he going to be mic'd up giving us a stroke by stroke call of his own 100 FR?
I don't see him on the psych sheet, unfortunately...
I don't see him on the psych sheet, unfortunately...That's too bad. I got to race him the first year of his meet in Orlando back in '09. It was a blast!
It'll be cool having him announcing :)
Just got a little more STOKED when I found out Rowdy Gains is doing the announcing :banana:
He'll also be doing a Facebook Live in which he takes questions. What does everyone want to ask him?
the 100 *** because I want to break a minute for the first time - since I've also never done it tapered.
Took me 16 years to accomplish that goal. Here’s hoping you get it done a little sooner.
Good luck to all you nationals swimmers. My interest was piqued when it was announced it could potentially be SCM, but the reality either way was that I took too long to start getting back on the (training) horse, so I was never going to be ready for a May taper meet. Maybe next year.
JPEnge, nice 50 breaststroke! You showed up well on the live streaming, so I got to look at your stroke. NICE JOB! You beat your seed time AND beat a few of the times in the faster heat. :applaud:
Congratulations, PWB, on your gold medal in the 400 IM! :chug:
Nice 100 Fly PATRICK! Another beautiful swim, and you KILLED your seed time! :applaud: :bow:
