Many of the forum regulars seem to be going to Stanford, alas, others of us will not be there. Some of you that are going will access the internet while there, however briefly- why not share?
I have created this thread so you can report on the sights, sounds, swims, sunburns, socials etc. It matters not whether you be 'elite', 'newbie' or whatever, your impressions would be interesting to read. You could comment on great swims, technique, facilities, judging, the announcer, outrageous behavior of other forum participants, complaints, kudos- whatever. If you do, I at least would be grateful and if the thread garners much in the way of postings it could be a valuable archive for people to check for future Worlds. I lay down the guantlet...
The women's 800 free results are now posted. I guess the women's heats just took longer to finish than the men. However, yesterday none of the women's heats were shown in real time. I wonder if they are only able to cover one pool at a time. The men swam in the Belardi pool yesterday. Today the women's events will be in Belardi, so perhaps the women's events will be covered in real time.
Too bad they didn't have links for Last Completed Women's Heat, Last Completed Women's Event, Last Completed Men's Heat and Last Completed Men's Event.
I'm looking forward to swimming the 200 back today. It's supposed to be partly clouding early. Should help my eyes. Even with mirrored goggles, bright sun is a problem for me in backstroke.
