With the psych sheets out for Nationals, I think we should start debating who deserves the biggest sandbagger of the meet award?
I won't name the names of any doctors or last year's national champion, but I've got some nominees in the 500 free:bolt:
Jeff,
Are you paying attention to this? I think that you're getting picked on :-). Should I also tell them that you tend to make much slower people (such as me!) go in front of you in practice?
PWB,
i'm just following my elders wisdom:
M 50-54
1 Erwin, Jeff T 50 SAWS 5:01.79
Oh yeah. She pulls that stunt at EVERY local Masters meet and I have no clue why.
I'll tell you why. Some people like to swim their events alone. In nationals, sandbagging is the only way to approximate that.
The thing I have no clue about is why people take such great offense at others' entry times.

Because they don't want fast people, especially "elites", in their heat.
and those fast sandbaggers shouldn't be allowed to set records, either, because something something reasons!
That's because everybody is slower than you! :D
Ha! If only that were true. Good news is that she entered with such a slow time that at least I won't be in her heat. Maybe I can avoid being lapped that way.
What are Unruh, Carroll and Dickson thinking?!
i already knew the block in lane 5 ODD side was crooked, so i didnt want to start on that one.
ya spend 60million plus and cant get the blocks straight!!!

:hijack:Question for sunruh: Are you going through Blue Bell (mocha fudge) ice cream withdrawals after it got pulled from the stores?:whiteflag: I'm guessing your freezer was well stocked before that happened... :anim_coffee:
I saw she was seeded at 28.1 for 50 free and 31.1 for 50 fly. That's just ridiculous ... She's the national record holder in 50 fly and 100 back.
It would appear that some of her entry times were adjusted. I was just looking at the 50 fly results (she set a new NR with a 25.05) and her seed time was 24.92.
Ohh... maybe it's time to switch! If you have a Kroger nearby, try some of their house ice creams. They're fabulous! My favorite is the triple peanut butter - peanut butter ice cream with peanut butter swirled in and chunks of peanut butter. I add more peanut butter or Hershey's dark syrup to it to make it that much better. Yum!
