Let me first say that I had a blast in Atlanta and enjoyed every minute of it (even the last minute of the 1000), so this list is somewhat tongue in cheek:
10. No Starbucks within walking distance of the Hampton Inn.
9. The taste of an Italian soda called "Beverly" at the Coca Cola Museum; it reminded me of viscous lidocaine--what is with that?
8. The stairway access to the pool deck from the stands.
7. Missing out on a medal in the 200 free relay because eight of the teams finishing ahead of us were from "regional" clubs representing entire states.
6. Two swimmers from TXLA trying to recruit my 87 year old father to join their team instead of swimming for Nitro.
5. No Starbucks within walkiing distance of the pool.
4. Turning at the bulkhead, although I nailed all of mine.
3. That one starter who shall remain nameless.
2. Not getting to meet Rich Abrahams, among others.
1. It ended.

Maybe ya'll will be lucky for future nationals in that GA Tech or the people of Georgia Masters swimming won't bid on a future nationals after all the bitchin that has gone on.
This was their first time hosting nationals at Ga Tech. The hosts will have learned a lot about hosting scy nats at Tech.
Then again, if anyone one on the forum can do better, please submit a bid for nationals.
Then again, maybe Georgia swimming won't host nationals again after listening to all the whinning.
