2010 SCM Zone Championships

Well maybe not everyone, but... I couldn't go to PR due to a family vacation, which had been a year in the planning and involved bringing relatives from overseas to join us, so no way that was going to be changed. -missed LCM zones due to illness. -skipped the PA state meet because it was the same day as my daughter's league champs. -got ill and missed a local meet that I did attend last autumn. (Actually I was ill last year too, but went anyway and swam not so well. Note to self - don't plan on being healthy in October.) ...and I'll miss SCM zones because there isn't one. Have jammers, have interest, train regularly, just need to have time and be healthy. That seems to be not so easy. My guess is that my life isn't so different from that of many others. I'm sure life gets in everyone's way from time to time. We are masters after all, many of us with families and jobs. But aren't these factors the same every year? The economy may play a role this year, as Q has noted elsewhere. But perhaps the lack of suits is one among many factors that effects people's thinking? I missed 6 weeks of training this summer, but went to CZ in August anyway. And I was quite unhealthy all of October as well. :afraid: But I went to my local SCY meet anyway. The lack of suits does effect my decision making somewhat though.
