2009 USMS Short Course National Championships

I'm just getting home having gone up to Yosemite with my wife after the meet. Wow, what a great time! Saw lots of familiar faces, some new ones, swam great and took in some absolutely breathtaking beauty in the National Parks. When I get a chance I'll have to post to my blog about it. I have fun at every Nationals, but I really think this was the best one yet. I commend everyone who made this meet a success. It really ran like clockwork. I would attend a meet at Clovis North again in a heartbeat! edit: I just got a chance to see my split in the last really on Sunday: 3 PNA 'A' 1:37.65 1:36.47 1) Dahl, Lisa W48 2) Coulter, Tamara W32 3) Nelson, Kirk M38 4) Valley, Eric M47 25.12 50.41 (25.29) 1:13.08 (22.67) 1:36.47 (23.39) I can sprint! I can sprint! Sorry, I just don't think I've ever split under 23.0 before. I probably false started :) Also, it was great to see Jazz Hands have a great 500 free and awesome relay split on Sunday. He seemed pretty depressed with his first couple days, but he sure ended with a bang. Kirk, this is amazing what you did in Clovis. Your 100 free was impressed too as this split. Yeah, i would go again to Clovis. Jazz was great and i think his time comes yet. Sometimes i think, Jazz could do great 200 free for some reason.
