How to stay positive on this one!?

Hi all, Well, in my 20+ years of swimming, I've encountered something new. Turns out all my 2006 SCY Top 10 swims from the Auburn swim meet (wasa USMS sanctioned) do not count. Ack! Turns out that the bulkhead/ lanes were not measured in accordance with the rules, so instead of placing 2nd, 3rd, 4th in the nation in about 7 events - I'm out of luck with no placement or I'm like 10th. They said we swam the right distance but the are tons of rules about having to measure these things before and after the meet. Anyhoo, what would you guys tell yourself to try and stay positive on this one?! I'm moving into the dark side. I'm thinking ice cream for tonight. . . but there's gotta be something better than that . . . Drugs are legal - just kidding. However, I find it funny that that would get through the rules. I've already spoken with Mary Beth Windrath and the meet organizer but the bottom line is no go on anyone's times for that meet. Anyway, mistakes happen. So there's no changing this. Part of me is motivated to really train and part of me is not. Trying hard not to whine - but I'm losing my grip! :) Thanks! Kristina
