Why go to Nationals..?

... if you are not going to beat anybody? I pretty much want to go. I am close to NQTs in a few events (I know I can swim some events even if I don't make time). But looking at past results, swimming the QT typically puts you in the lower 1/4. Looking at the schedule, I'd end up swimming the slow heats of one event, 2 if I make time, a day. Is the overall experience worth the cost of the trip? (I did lurk in all last year's Nationals threads, but I'd like to hear it all again. :) )

  • Let me know what interests you and how much time you have ... cultural historic hiking nature casinos chowing down ... ... and I'll do my best. Hopefully some of the other Arizonans on the forum can chime in. Cultural, historic, nature. I'd love to do hiking, but I'll have my parents with me too and they can only handle so much... Thanks! Looking forward to it.
