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...
I was marshalling in the Women's pool on Saturday and there was a DQ due to the swimmer wearing a watch. We were very careful to remind the swimmers through out the day they they could not wear watches so it seems odd that would be many more DQs due to that.
On Saturday, and on the Women's end there were DQs but there was not any one reason that stood out. They were also announcing DQs on the Men's end over the loudspeaker and I don't recall hearing that many.
Maybe the IM events have something to do with the DQs the past two days.
