...for I am the slowest in my age group at Nationals. :cry: Are they going to seed us by age or time?

It seems like the psych sheets did the exact opposite for you. Don't let your placing on a list get you down.
Make your first goal be to achieve personal bests. Your second goal should be to not get DFL on your events. This is a family thread, so I won't tell you what "DFL" is if you don't know.
The best thing about masters is no one ever laughs at the person who finishes last. If you're a teenager at a USAS nationals, you're often forced to walk back to the hotel for getting DFL. At masters, your team cheers for you -- for finishing.
So don't be nervous about what will happen. Just have fun.
So Jeff was avoiding DFL the inspiration for your SCY Nats performance and subsequent "USMS Swiimer" centre-fold photo shoot?
;)
