Anyways, I do have a thought.
Austin ran so long on Sunday that some heats of the 100 free (last event of the meet) had 1 or 2 people swimming. This, however, is not an unusual occurance, but was more present at that meet than I've ever seen.
Part of that in Austin, I think, was the fact that it is a smallish airport, and the last flight out for a lot of destinations was around 5. The other two Nationals I've been to (Seattle and Coral Springs) had a lot more flight choice. Like you said, it still happens, but I think that was why it was extra bad.
