What events will you do in Montreal?
I'm about 90% going, and will definitely do the o/w swim if I'm there. Probably also the 200 *** and 400 free.
I guess since you have to qualify to swim, they make the qualification times a bit more generous (I easily make them for everything I'd want to swim.)
If you want an extra LCM meet, the Gay Games are in Cleveland just before Worlds (it is open to anyone, and I don't think there are qualification times)
I am undecided; it's a tough decision! There are so many events I enjoy swimming including open water! No matter what I choose, I have no chance of ranking even in the top half, so my choices will be based on what I would most like to swim. For me, that usually ends up being the extremes. In USMS rankings, my best events are 50 *** and 50 back, such as they are. (I have slipped a lot in my age group!) My worst events are 200 fly and 400 IM; however, I enjoy the challenge. We'll see...
If budget allowed, I would love to go to Cleveland and compete there, too! I am already making this a three-week vacation, though, between Montreal, Quebec City, and on to Maryland for Nationals.
