  • except for our 500 in greensboro. where there were 6 national champions (from that very meet) in the water at the same darn time and within 2secs of everyone at the 450 flip!!! p.s. i still want a do over on that one!I know, but, in all my years of Masters swimming, that was a rarity ... a very beautiful and wonderful rarity. Most of the time, even with so many people seeded so close, the results don't pan out. I guess my (*certainly not last*) view on this is this: in a pool, once someone is more than 2-3 seconds ahead of you, they're generally gone from your field of vision for much of the race. Also, at least for me, I can never see anyone besides the two lanes next to me, so what most of the people do in a heat never comes into my consciousness.
