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...

Very sportsmanlike conduct by Schoeman after the 50 prelims (reported in the New York Times):
American Cullen Jones was fastest in the men's 50 free preliminaries, touching in 22.14. Roland Schoeman of South Africa was second.
Jones was part of the U.S. team that broke South Africa's 2-year-old world record in the 400 freestyle relay Saturday night.
''Cullen who?'' Schoeman said after the 50 preliminaries.
By the way, Cullen Jones is African American.
