I do have a hotel room booked. Probably should get the flight done, too, while fares are low. Hopefully they haven't gone up since I last checked! My "for sure" events right now are the mile on Thursday, the 4 IM on Friday, the 2 free on Saturday, and the 5 free on Sunday. I'll enter six events for sure, but not totally certain on the others yet.

I really hope the 6th event doesn't get axed. When you spend all that time and money traveling to a meet, it's nice to actually swim. I think I'm swimming the same paltry yardage as Paul: 50 & 100 back, 50 & 100 fly, 50 free, 100 IM. Haven't entered yet, but I've booked hotel and plane.

I guess I recall differently. It seems every nationals I go to, the sixth event gets dropped.

(6th event will definitely get axed) Why do you say that? When is the last time the sixth event was axed at SC Nationals? I think it's been quite a while. Tempe was a big meet and the sixth event was kept, if I recall correctly.

I've got my air and hotel booked, not sure about the events. I'll definitely swim 50, 100, 200 back & 200 free. As for the other two events, it just depends on training between now and then. Right now I'm only doing about 12,000 per week all free and still not kicking or pushing off with the left foot, but my free has been feeling very strong. I would like to enter the 1650 and 500 free, but we'll see. Hopefully I won't end up with two bad shoulders as a result of my broken foot. I've been very careful to take days off and rest and haven't been doing any hard swimming. See you all in Austin!

Team is taking care of the travel arrangements. I haven't done my entry yet, but I'm probably just going to do the 50 free on day 2, and then some relays after that.

As of this moment 1650fr, 500fr, 400IM, 200IM, 100fr, & ????? It's a toss up between 50 fr, 200 back and 200 fly, All are subject to change based on this weekends meet.

You should try to get in the mile or something. Going all that way for 350 yards (6th event will definitely get axed) seems like a travesty :notworking: (sorry I thought I was on the trash talk thread). Um, that would be the whole 'distance' thing. Since I'm probably not going to place top 10 in any of my events, I'm pretty sure that I didn't travel to Austin just to swim some events. As for getting 100 Free getting axed? Ah well, that's just more time for golf. Paul
