reading the heat sheet makes me wish I'd signed up
The 200 fly LCM has to be one of the most brutal events ever. I have no intentions of EVER even attempting this event. However, it was AMAZING to watch all of the heats of this race. In one heat a guy swam the first 175 m fly then switched to free - I didn't see it but I can imagine the pain and it makes me cringe. That event in nuts. I give a big ole :notworthy: to anyone that even stepped up to the blocks for it.
The meet was amazing. While the weather wasn't ideal - it sure beats today's weather. I am at the airport in Portland (hence all the postings) looking out the window that the dreary/rainy weather and wow has it cooled off.
A big shout out to the team hot tub members in attendance - it's fantastic we all have each other because there aren't a lot of people that could have ridden that emotional roller coaster .. :cry::thhbbb::censor::rofl:
