Sixth Event Decision DROPPED
The Championship Committee has decided that swimmers' sixth event entries shall be dropped from this meet due to the large size of the meet and expected long days. The estimated time line will be available by Monday, July 21.
Good move. Had I had even a lick of sense, I would have designated the 50 free as my 6th and had Sunday off. Although I like the 50.
if you're going what events are you swimming?
50 fly
50 free
Sixth Event Decision
Nobody needs to be swimming six events.
Nor apparently a third :duel:
What suit/s are you going to wear
Nike Hydra jammer. It's black, the color of intimidation.
LOL--classic.
It's the colour of a funeral where I come from... so maybe I should save that for the 200 FLY ;)
Although we're swept up with the Olympics
Let's not forget USMS LCM Nats are 2 days away and well worth following
if you're going what events are you swimming?
What suit/s are you going to wear
Psyche
as more USMS swimmers race in the latest tech suits like the
Blue Seventy Nero Comp
many world & USMS records are likely to fall,
plus it's likely to take faster times to make top 10
What do you think?

if you're going what events are you swimming?
Sat - 50 Fly, 100 Free, 50 back
Sun - 100 Back, 50 Free
What suit/s are you going to wear
A slightly too large Speedo FS kneeskin as I took too long in deciding what to order. Hopefully I can try on some suits, namely the B70, at Nats. Depending on how that feels during warmup, I might swim back in just my Speedo FS 2 jammer.
What do you think? Sixth Event Decision DROPPED
Given the number of registrants and only one course available, I think this is the right decision. It's going to be long days and it would have been unbearable if the 6th event was being swam. I just wish I had marked 100 back as my 6th instead of 50 ***.

Sixth Event Decision DROPPED
I'm too old to contemplate swimming 6 events in 2-3 days at top level, and I HATE spending 8+ hours at the pool - so, great! :blah:
