great to meet you
thanks for the photo

I got to meet Gull and Ande each briefly yesterday after their 100 free swims. Hopefully I'll catch up with Ande a little more this weekend, but it looks like Gull was only swimming yesterday.
I caught some pictures of each of them prior to their swims:

One thing I noticed on the website is that maybe the scores aren't correct. On the results pages, the scores are based on the standard 16 lane scoring system (20-17-16-15-14-13-12-11-9-7-6-5-4-3-2-1, double for relays), but the meet information says it should be 11-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 (double for relays).
My informant tells me that he'll look into this tomorrow morning. Also, he says the world records should now be correct in the meet results.

Wow,what a meet.:groovy: It was very well organized and the people were really nice:kiss1:. It was also unbelievably hot:whiteflag:.The pool would be OK in the early morning but by relays it wasn't:whiteflag::whiteflag:.I can't believe my 100 BR:bouncing:.I really didn't expect to go that fast.I'm pretty proud of my 200BR also.Great meet,but next time we have a meet in the South how about an indoor pool.
She really swam well! It was the 200 back, not the 100 fly, that she got the WR in though. Quite a show. She's swimming even faster than last year. :applaud: Karlyn P-N has some real competition in the recordbook area now.
I hope Ms. Walsh knows that the times she swum will not actually be world records, with the exception of the 50 back, and maybe the 50 free. Karlyn did swim faster than her in meets earlier this year. I personally watched Karlyn go a little faster in the 50 fly here in Tucson.
Go here to see results from her swims in Mision Viejo. She also swim in Tucson and a meet in Mexico earlier, and I don't know exactly how she did in Mexico.
But the good thing is she'll still get WR certificates from FINA, because she did swim faster than the published world record (Karlyn's records won't be official until the end of the month, when the times are turned into FINA).
I do wish FINA would update their masters world records as fast as they update their "real" world records. A week after worlds in Melbourne, all the new world records were on the site.
Does anyone know why we only get the records updated twice a year? I know records fall quite often in masters, but it can't be that hard to update it even once a month? This way, heat sheets can be as accurate as possible.
It's great to see Sue Walsh swimming so well! A superb LC Nationals for her, winning all 6 individual events (50/100 x Fr/Ba, 50 Fl, 200Ba) in WR times! Way to go, Tarheel!
