Only a month to go until Indy... it'll be my first big meet since college.
Who here's going? What should I expect in terms of meet flow - does it move quickly or slowly? Are the warmup/cooldown pools going to be jam-packed? And most importantly... do people shave down for this meet? I have a lot more hair than I did in college...
I am psyched - though a little intimidated with how many fast names I recognize on the meet roster!Nationals will be a blast. Don't be intimidated. Turnout is incredible, but the Indy facility has plenty of space. I am so stoked to be there. I'm not sure my times will be anything to write home about (or, blog about), but it's always fun.
Yes, the warmup pools will be crowded, but we had about 2000 people in Santa Clara in 2014 with far less warmup space and it was fine. Besides, when you're all rested and ready to go, you don't want to waste too much precious energy in warmups anyways!
And, to your question on shaving down, yes!
