There is a Master's meet in Atlanta this Sunday which starts at 10 AM. I haven't been to one before so I was wondering how long they last and is there a certain order to the events.
Next year, we're going to look at tying the online entries to other databases, so that when you enter online, we automatically suggest your entry times for you. Perhaps even requiring a written comment if you put an entry time that is too far off of our suggestion. (Which is definitely going to happen... injuries, pregnancies, other major life events, etc.) We just want people to (a) think about their entries, and (b) understand that it matters and (c) that we're watching.
That is a pretty cool idea. You guys would have nabbed me in 2004. I entered the first SCM Zone meet at Wheaton, and swam with a cast due to a broken wrist. I can't remember if I entered slower times b/c of the cast or not, but either way, I'd've probably added some wait time on either end. :frustrated:
Oddly enough, I actually swam really well that meet. Ended up breaking the :60 barrier for the second time ever in the 100 free; 200 back was a top 10 time - first (and only) time ever swum. Poor Chris Woolridge, who was 2 yrs younger, was beating himself since I kept coming in ahead of him.
