Ande
I will be there...was hoping to do much better as far as the training went BUT alas real life set in and among the injury/ family issues and life in general I didn't get nearly the training that I had hoped BUT
I am taking this as a welcome back to LCM as I have not done a meet since 2005....
I am swimming the 50 ***/ 100breast/ 200breast/ 1500 free and just for "sh**S and giggles the 200 and 400 IM's would love to meet you and just watch everyone swim because you all sound SOO FAST!! Would also just like to put a few names with avatars
Looking forward to seeing my Indyswimfit friends because here in Texas swimming by myself can be a little :cry:
SOO Heres to a great meet :wine:
Dana, I know what you mean about qualifying in the 50 and 1500 Free but not in the distances in between. I am in the same boat but hope to add the 100 next year.

But why would you want to wear a watch anyway? In this age of trying to find the best fabric possible to give swimmers any kind of edge they can, wearing a watch with a face big enough to read the numbers during a distance race for pacing purposes is ridiculous. The weight alone would slow you down.
I'll be there.Not surprisingly I'll swim the 3 breaststrokes.I'm entered in the 200 fly,but doubt I can swim it as my shoulder,while better,is twitchy after I swim fly(and I think i am having an attack of sanity.)
Will they be able to keep the pool water a decent temperature? Or will the water be hot?
From the USMS Rule Book (http://www.usms.org/rules/):
Article 107.6, WATER TEMPERATURE
Water temperature between 78 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit shall be maintained for competition.
My understanding is that they have water chillers at the pool in The Woodlands to comply with this rule.

Re: whether Woodlands water is chilled. Oh yes. The first time I swam there I dove into the 100m *** without testing the main pool first (warmed up in the tepid indoor pool). Turned out the chilling was working very well (below the minimum) and I was choking on the family jewels as I split the first 50 in my best 50 time. Trouble was there was 50 left at that point... The next Nats there they nailed the temp and everyone was happy.
