SPMA Zones bigger than Nationals?

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?

  • Yep...that's easy all right! In fact...I'd call that a waste of a drive to come all the way over to Spokane to compete for a total of approx. 2 minutes 34 seconds. We'll see how close I come with my estimate after the meet happens. :) Hmmm. I should be able to go faster than 2:34 for those events but it may be close. So that's an interesting little gridge there. 2) taper length...because you're tapering now for Gil Young and won't be able to hang onto it for another 2 weeks afterward. We'll see. I cut it reeeeeaaaal close with this taper. I didn't start feeling fast until yesterday afternoon! Recent race pace swims: 7/2 - sludgy 1000 free 7/3 - sludgy 800 IM 7/6 - sludgy 500 free 7/7 (AM) - sludgy 200 IM 7/7 (PM) - BOOM! Rocking fast 100 back! :banana: 7/8 - MOAR BOOM! 100 fly that didn't feel good but the clock doesn't lie, I went fast. Ahah!!!...now I see why you're swimming only the 50s at the meet. You're scared of the pain! HAHAAHAHa!!! You're right, that is laughable.
