not only do I miss all the great racing fun when I skip nationals but I miss all the good discussion too!!
cant wait for San Antonio next year. I feel like I am going from age group swimming to big boy swimming next year since I age up and swim in the 45-49 age group. Talk about a seriously competitive age group!!
Stewart,
Well, the other thing you missed in Santa Clara was a petition that all of the 45-49 year old men signed stating that we would NOT allow you to age up next year. Kind of like being the perennial 29-year old, we've all agreed to leave you forever 44 :D
