2009 SC Nationals Order of Events

Chris I think you would rather have a stroke and an event a day. A 21 event meet would take 21 days, I'm more willing to double up than most...at SC Zones last spring, a meet I rested for, I did a 200 back - 500 free - 200 fly triple, all within 1.5-2 hours, before doing relays at the end of the meet. At LCM nationals I would have done the 200 free - 200 back - 100 fly triple if they hadn't taken away the 6th event. I like the 200 fly a lot but it is quite tiring and I don't like to potentially compromise the 100 back. If the order were reversed on some of the schedules (100 back first, then 200 fly) I would have less of a problem. It is just a little frustrating having the exact same double appear in 75% of nationals over four years. At this point, I'm sure you will probably regale us with a story of how, back in the days when men were men, you swim 6 events in 1 hour before running a marathon and shooting a bison for dinner.
