I saw that blogger Patrick Brundage will be AA in a killer triple -- 200 fly, 400 IM and 1500 free.
What a stud!
Thanks. I think I now officially like LCM for Masters. This is the first time I've gotten to the top slot. I'd like to thank a few guys who, fortunately for me, did not race these events this summer!
I knew Kurt Dickson was ahead of me in the 1500, but Patrick's time was never listed in the database. My 1500 time, as with a couple of others, was from a USAS meet. However, as I learned some time ago on some thread about submitting times, if the swim was done in a fixed length pool (yes) that had been previously certified by USMS (yes), they are acceptable for TT.
The bummer is when I swim USAS meets in SCY as they are very often in a pool with a bulkhead. Being a USAS official myself, I'm not going to ask those guys to go through extra duties just to certify the pool length. I really wish USMS would 'harmonize' with USAS (and ideally vice-versa) with times from sanctioned meets being acceptable in both systems. At a minimum, since USAS meets are, IMHO, generally 'more' officiated than most USMS meets, I'd like to see USMS accept results from USAS meets.
