I just received my tickets for 2 days of this years PanPacs in Victoria, B.C. Aug 17-20. I will be seeing heats & finals day 2:
100 free, 100 brst, 400 IM, 800free relay; heats & finals day 4:
200 IM, 50 free, 200 brst, w800 free, m1500 free, 400 medley relay. I am stoked to see Phelps et al, possible Japanese-American clash 100brst etc. This, I think, will be the signature international meet of the year (except Masters Worlds, of course) and I would urge anyone within reasonable travel distance to consider attending, as it is a great spectator pool & very fast.
I am disappointed though, that Amanda & her wedgie likely won't be there...

Now I'm really getting psyched! After many breathless days spent staring at the rich visual treat that is the Hy-Tek real-time results, I turn my attention to my two days (this Fri & Sun) that I get to watch, in person, the PanPacs (heats & finals). I mentioned in another thread that I think Hansen could get below 59 seconds for 100 *** (he said the other day that he felt lots more in the tank) and that Phelps may have been aiming at this meet (in which case anything could happen), but now Roland Schoeman just went under 21 secs (20.98) for scm 50 free & he is coming (and I will see that).
Any fearless predictions, male or female, individual or relays?
