Yes, the meet's been pretty deep this year, on the boy's side anyway. The top guys aren't completely rested, though at nationals I'll have to tell Jeff Utsch that his 24-year-old meet record in the 400 free was broken tonight.
Wow, 4:02 is pretty quick. It's amazing that the record stood for 24 years.
I am also trying out the B70 for the first time. I was actually much less pleased with how it felt on fly than on the long-axis strokes. I was happy with the 200 free and 100 back. 200 back is tomorrow but I am exhausted. This trials/finals stuff is for the young, for me it is like I've had 4 meets in two days, with two more to go. I'm basically looking at it like training; 3 days at nationals is nothing by comparison.
Did the B70 give you that extra 2%?;) Good luck today in your 200 back. I also saw that you swam the fly leg in the 400 MR, which finished in 2nd place. Enjoy the rest of your meet.
