It isn't the travel part: I don't mind going out west. It is the nearly inaccessible sh**hole part. Seriously. Have you been to Frenso?
Okay, actually, I lied. It is the travel part. On principle, I don't think national meets should be held someplace where anyone flying from a major airport would need a connection. That means anyone who doesn't live near a major airport is looking at two, and considering people are flying across the country anyway, that seems to me too restrictive to be inclusive, which is what Masters Nats are, no?
Then find another facility to make a bid. We need to be thankful right now that someone did bid so we can have Nationals. It sucks that there was only one bid for SCY and one for LCM. The Clovis pool has hosted a few big meets - I hear it's a great pool. I'm going to do my best to attend. We'll see.
