hey buddy we'd love to see you here fyi the meet is 70 days away, just 10 weeks I'll bump this thread once a week with a count down anyone going yet? jeff? rich? trip? ande Man, I want to go so BAD! Haven't been to a meet in almost 3 years, not even sure if I can call myself "elite". We are heading to Deer Valley to ski the Monday after the meet, might be hard to get a hall pass. With a 2, 5 and 7 year old hard to get a hall pass for anything unless it is at 5:30 am when everyone else is asleep. I will mark the dates down, and try to slowly sell my wife on this one...

Sorry, Ande. I'm only doing one shave meet in 2007, and that meet will be masters nationals in Seattle. Also, I'm taking time off after the shave meet I had three weeks ago. I'm not planning on getting back into the water until the new year. That's not enough time to get into the right shape. Plus, I don't want to embarrass the little ones by having an "old guy" swim faster than them. And I don't want to be embarrassed by all the little ones swiming faster than me. I'm sure people like Dennis Baker would love to go to a meet like this. But, it's short course and he can't qualify for Trials at this meet. (Just kidding, Dennis.) I am going to be in Austin at masters nationals in 2008. Hope to see you there.

Woa Nelly! That is a bit over my head! However, you've inspired me to try and go a :58.0 in the 100 yd fly by the end of Feb (at a masters meet).

Ande, I am fat, out of shape and my shoulders are killing me. As much as I enjoy making excuses to go to Austin, I don't know that I can get it together for the meet by February. Thanks anyway. John Smith
