Am I to assume, with the last hurrah for this generation of tech suits, that Nationals will be huge, and therefore no 6th event?
Is it even worth it to enter 6?
I'm not sure about USMS but if you officiate for a USA Swimming meet your expenses are tax deductible.What expenses are those exactly -- sunblock? those nifty white t-shirts? post-USAS-meet beers to quell the ringing voices of psycho swim parents*?
Apparently the new way of taking your swimming seriously is to be a teetotaler until the meet is over.
The rest of us will be gathering at the local watering hole...
(True story: my first swimming day at Clovis was fine, but I was slightly disappointed in my times. Had a couple beers with a friend over dinner...PRESTO: next day I had one of my best ever at a nationals. It does a body good.)
Yeah, Chris, you clearly are not taking this sport seriously enough. :)
