I've not done any analysis to see if left coasters & westerners were disproportionately under-represented on the Auburn psych sheets, but wondering if the SPMA/Southwest Zone meet (www.clubassistant.com/.../meet_information.cfm might garner a bigger turnout than Nationals?
Who's going to Mission Viejo?
kAs far as which meet "should" be scheduled first, I can see an argument for having nationals first: if you go to both, then that would probably be your primary meet and you'd taper for it. Then you just extend it for zones. Going the other way might not appeal to as many people. People who are going to only one meet probably won't care much.
Finally, I really like this story about a good championship meet following nationals.
Thinking it over, I quite like the idea of swimming nationals 1st and local champs 2nd. As in this weekend we go to local champs unrested. In the past I have seen lots of success at a fine continued taper meet.
Oh and I had the pleasure of meeting your Mermaid Lisa in Mesa. Now she is a great example of positive energy!
For many years I had the privilege to work with a meditation teacher I loved and respected so much. He passed away a few years back, but his advice and teaching is always with me.
One aphoism I especially love from him...
"Indomitable strength blossoms in the heart of enthusiasm."
Distance Day in The PACIFIC!
Have a great weekend!
