2011 SCY Nats in Mesa, AZ

Thanks, there was once a time I was a better butterflier than backstroker. It was, unfortunately, a virtual race since we were not in the same heat. Yet another reason I dislike sandbagging...it would have been nice to have been able to push each other. Bobby has been regaining his form slowly but surely over the last couple of seasons. He'll be going 50.x in the 100 and low 1:50s in the 200 before too much longer. (I remember him more of a 200 flier back in the day, but he claims to have gotten over that problem.) Thoughts on the meet,1) there are no easy events,there are fast people in every age group 2) beautiful facility 3)Is it possible for a meet to be too well run?I have never been to a major meet that was as far ahead of the timeline as this one was.That may seem to be a good thing but it confused many people. 4)The staff was wonderful 5)The Gold Medal Sponsor food was fabulous 6)If you take the 200 BR out too slow,even a good 2nd 100 won't catch the leaders.
