Why do we continue to lead off the 2nd,3rd and 4th days of the meet each year with a distance event? I can think of NOTHING more deadening to the atmosphere of a swim meet than dozens of heats of 400IM and 500 free. We need to start the meet with the 50 freestyle and get the place rockin' !! Stick the long events at the end of the meet each day after the relay and give the majority of participants the opportunity to spend less time at the pool. Thursday, May 1, 2008 1.

  • As`is always the case with Mr. cheater/ALS there is a "true" story behind the story. Wimpy is all upset that he entered his signature event (the 200 free) for the first time in years...even sandbagged his time to get away from the middle of the pool (and being my ski boat)....now he see's the meet will go till 8pm that night and the horrid lack of sleep he will experience is going to disrupt his 100 free the next day...waaahhh!
