Originally posted by ande looks like they are crawling through the 800 frees heat 9 of 23 is up on the web. It's gonna take a while to get through the rest. Wait until the 1500 Monday. There are over 200 entries. Nothin' but 1500s from 8:00 a.m. until about 7:00 p.m. I hope all the timers bring good books :)

I had to time four heats of a long course mile at a meet recently. I was ready for the straitjacket after heat two. Not to disparage any milers. It's just that we spectators would like you to make the race interesting. Take the first 400 out within two seconds of your best 400, then try to keep everyone from catching you. That'd be a blast to watch! By the way, Dave Rollins went 1:05.67 in his 100 ***. Good time. Do we count it since he's 21??? :D And what was up with Roque Santos going 1:14? He must have swallowed water.

Gary Hall didn't show up for his 50. But there were two swims under 24. Nice. However ... I did see Brian Jacobson go 22.91 last fall. And I was next to him when he went 29.17 in the 50 *** at that meet. I'm anxious to see if he goes that time tomorrow.

My staff thought I was nuts watching Omega live timing for Worlds recently, which at least refreshes data every 10 seconds, but now they're readying the restraints after seeing me 'watch' the 800 meters at USMS Nats 'live' results.

Rich Abrahams absolutely blew the doors off the old National and World record for 60-64 with his 25.54. The old record was 26.70 by Jeff Farrell. Wow!
