Rowdy Gaines Meet Entry Deadline Extended

I would have thought that the national record for 40-44 was faster than that. Well, Shaffer did swim it in the pre-B70 era; maybe he'll do it at Long Beach this year. Of course, ehoch went a 4:01 a few weeks ago, didn't he? Still a very nice time by Patrick.

Good job, John! I think that this will get in Top Ten. Bravo! That is one "serious" time and your 100 back time is too!!!! This was a good race to watch. Wookie gave Patrick a nice race. Both had great underwaters and were silky smooth. I wish they had been next to each other. That's officially the last compliment I will ever give the Hair Dork.

You are correct, ehoch did a 4:01 a few weeks ago. Gosh, I would love to do 4:01, in the first 400 of my 500 yard free!!!!!!

Heck, I am probably going to have a crappy meet this weekend since I have been sick for the last two weeks off and on and I did very little training last week. Just learn from the mistakes this weekend and get ready for the next meet.

I did a meet review (mostly written on the plane ride home) for today's blog post: forums.usms.org/blog.php. Short summary: look for and seriously consider this meet next year.

I loved the meet but I have now met the requirement for going to Disney with my family. And, obviously, going to Orlando solo would unleash a maelstrom of discontent.

I am surprised that wookie failed to mention the three quarts of Nair he was given in his schwag bag.

I loved the meet but I have now met the requirement for going to Disney with my family. And, obviously, going to Orlando solo would unleash a maelstrom of discontent. You have a wonderful family. I can't believe that you would be so self-centered to leave those wonderful children and hard-working wife at home, so that you could go visit your brother goofy at disney. If you ever think of leaving them home for this meet, I will hang you over Shamu's feeding pole at SeaWorld. Granted, shamu will probably up-chuck you after he gets a take of that pale coating you call a skin.
