Has anyone gone into a big swim meet, a shave and taper meet without doing any meets leading up to it? Im curious as to how things turned out. I have not been at a meet since March. I was outta the water and recovering from shoulder issues all summer. I have been back at it since August and shoulders feel fine. I am thinking I should do a masters meet, there is a good one this Saturday. The shave and taper meet is a USS meet starting on Dec. 7th.
There is the OSU vs. Mich game this Saturday. Whoever planned this meet on this day was not thinking and I know, it does not have the implications it could have.
So, should I swim the meet or go into big meet with no meets? I have been doing things for time in practice and its not like I have forgotten how to swim certain events, like the 200 fly.
Torn between swimming and the Bucks,

Hey Linda,
Have you been to this meet before? It's definitely a gorgeous facility and a very fast pool. Well, Im sure we will be in same heat of 200 fly, dont think there is ever more than one heat of that event lol. I might be the one needed to get dragged out.
See you Saturday and be sure to say hi if you see me around the pool deck.

Hi Greg...
I have not been to this meet before. A lady I swim with, her son goes there and when I found out about the meet, I told her. We are bringing a small group over, about 5 or 6. I am looking forward to it. I have heard very good things about this meet and pool.
We swim for Cardinal Swimming Indiana and I will have on a Ball State swim cap. Hope I don't get drowned for wearing a MAC rival cap.
See you on Saturday.
Greg,
I am doing the 400/200 IM, 50/200 fly and 200 free. I entered the 100 *** but I have changed my mind. I would rather swim the 200 free. They have posted a psych sheet and also said that there will be a t.v. on deck to watch the game. So there ya go...dont have to miss out on the game and can get a meet in too. :bouncing:
I don't train SCM either, but I don't mind it. I swam in the Fall Classic in Indy a couple weeks ago. Had a great time. Some up and down swims with one of the downs being the 200. I would like to see if I can better my time.
Linda,
It is a good meet. Although, Im not much into swimming short course meters, only because I don't train in a 25 meter pool. However,since I need to get a meet in before my big meet in December, I gotta do what I gotta do.
Just so you know, they also have a big meet there in Feb. I will be the lone representative of my team, WTRC Sharks which falls under the SWOM district. I did not pre-register so I will be one of those deck enter people. What events are you doing? Im doing the 50free, 100/200 fly and 400 free. If I am feeling really motivated might also do the 400IM.
See you Saturday and good luck.
Greg
Y'all need to know..... Greg must've stayed home (or somewhere?!) to watch osu BEAT MICHIGAN! He wasn't there.
Gerg- I missed you. Wanted to watch you burn up the water in your fly.

Ann,
Well it was not by choice :-( I went and worked out with the age groupers Saturday morning from 730-9am. Got home had a pre meet breakfest and and hour before I was going to hit the road I got paged from work. Ended up working remotely from home and watching the game. I was not pleased that I got paged, however, it does come with the job.
How was the meet, how did you do?
Greg
