Nationals!

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...

  • Just heard that USMS is gonna drop the sixth event this year. From what I've heard, that hasn't happened in a long time, but with almost 2,400 swimmers showing up it makes sense. It sucks to a degree, though. I was looking forward to swimming a 100 IM tapered for the first time ever. Oh well. Still looking forward to all the fast swimming! I don't mind losing my sixth event (50 back) because 1) there's a ton of good sprinters in the 25-29 age group, 2) I might still get to do a time in a relay or two and 3) that means I get to do the 100 IM by itself that day!
