I haven't thought this through so it is probably a hairbrained idea but...
Has anyone ever proposed a national Masters gathering that is not "championship oriented", e.g. where you aren't limited to three events if you can't make NQTs, perhaps with an associated open water event, and just more of an orientation toward gathering than high performance?
What you don't know is that all of this proposed fun and debauchery annually occurs at the USMS Convention. Come on now, you didn't think all those fit and healthy people waste their days sitting and talking about rules do you? I'm sure 'business' is taken care of with a few rousing 'All in favour?' calls, then it's off to the naked relays...
This "story" is a great way to make sure each of the LMSCs send their full delegation to convention (at least for one year). We do have relays there but I can't really describe what they are since I would have to delete my own post;) So those that want to find out what goes one should contact their LMSC chairs and find out what it takes to become a delegate. Next year is a great year because it is 1) in California, 2) an election year therefore committees are reconstituted and you can get on one and 3) we can always use new blood!
