2007 Long Course Nationals

Will they be able to keep the pool water a decent temperature? Or will the water be hot? Good luck everyone! Dana, it seems odd to swim the 50 free and the 1500. LOL. What about the stuff inbetween? Can't decide whether you're a sprinter or distance geek? Or just want to try something different? Of course, I know you're swimming that 800 free at zones too ...

I believe that as well; in fact, I watched Michael Moore, Pacific Masters Chairperson-man, swim his 800 free at championships last month while wearing his watch.

I'll be there, swimming 50 free, back, ***, and fly, 100 back and 1500 free. What's the weather like in Houston these days??

Weather in Houston: High in the upper 90's, heat index over 110, 50% chance of an afternoon thunderstorm.

I don't think of myself as a sprinter, but those are the events I qualify in:dunno:. I feel much better swimming longer distances, that still doesn't make them fast. The 1500 is mainly for fun and team bragging rights. Of my six events, I'm competing against a team mate in three of them. Swimming the "in between" stuff at zones.

I noticed this comparing the world and nationals records in quite a few instances. I wonder why?... So far, a lot of world records set at last year's worlds aren't being recognized as such. I'm curious as well.
