2012 Canadian Nationals in Kelowna, B.C.

jaadams1
:canada: Oh Canada... :canada: The Event Announcement for next spring (May 18-21, 2012): okmasters.com/.../2012-cmsc-nationals-kelowna :canada: I know it's early, but I might as well start getting ready. Definitely cheaper than flying cross country to USMS Nats. This is about 5 hours due north from here, and I'm sure many from PNA will attend as well. :canada: Will you be going?? I suppose I need to get some kind of passport as well. :canada:
  • Oooo what a race: Event 10 Men 35-39 400 SC Meter Freestyle 2 Adams, James 35 HMS 4:32.39 4:25.17 17 r:+0.68 29.49 1:02.43 (32.94) 1:35.55 (33.12) 2:09.54 (33.99) 2:43.56 (34.02) 3:17.69 (34.13) 3:51.85 (34.16) 4:25.17 (33.32) Event 10 Men 40-44 400 SC Meter Freestyle 2 Nelson, Kirk 42 USMS 4:22.47 4:24.66 17 r:+0.91 30.00 1:02.34 (32.34) 1:35.52 (33.18) 2:08.98 (33.46) 2:42.67 (33.69) 3:16.77 (34.10) 3:51.07 (34.30) 4:24.66 (33.59) Nice swims guys!
  • Nice swims guys! Thanks. It was only a race on paper since James swam in my lane in the heat before mine. I knew what I had to do to beat him, but he set the bar pretty high! I'm happy with that swim, but man was it painful. I don't usually take it out that fast. I think it was good that I didn't hold back, but I definitely felt it on the back half.

I was surprised by my time as well, and very happy about it as well. As I was watching Kirk swim his race afterward I secretly wanted to beat him. ;) It is cool how close our two swims were now that we can see the splits on paper. He ended up 5th overall, and I was 6th overall. Each age group we were 2nd place though. Oh...and my 400 didn't hurt at all!! :D But I think there's a difference in mentality going on when you're leading your heat vs. middle of the heat like Kirk was. 400IM is coming up... :applaud:
  • Great swims! Good luck on the remaining swims!
  • More good swims. Head-to-tead this time: Event 22 Men 400 SC Meter IM 5 Adams, James 35 HMS 5:03.64 5:05.33 r:++0.69 30.46 1:06.06 (35.60) 1:46.53 (40.47) 2:26.27 (39.74) 3:10.60 (44.33) 3:55.89 (45.29) 4:31.14 (35.25) 5:05.33 (34.19) 6 Nelson, Kirk 42 USMS 5:06.92 5:07.10 r:++0.89 32.32 1:08.86 (36.54) 1:49.07 (40.21) 2:28.29 (39.22) 3:13.35 (45.06) 3:58.32 (44.97) 4:33.80 (35.48) 5:07.10 (33.30)
  • It was a long day with both 400s. James and I finished the 400 IM at probably 6:15 p.m.
  • Yeah...the 400 IM was...well...uh... :afraid: At least for me. I was flat out exhausted. I couldn't get revved up in the fly, and during the backstroke I caught a glimpse of one other lone swimmer near the tail of the pack with me (Kirk). At that point my goal was to stay ahead of him...and if there was another 50 to go, I'm sure Kirk would've caught me! We had waited about 8 hours from the end of the 400 Free until we swam this one, so it is what it is. I'll be ready tomorrow!
  • The pool was measured on Saturday since there was a world record set: Event 34 Men 45-49 100 SC Meter Butterfly 1 Botsford, Deke 45 Campbell River 58.10 56.78 20 r:+0.82 26.83 56.78 (29.95) No, because FINA does not require measurements to verify bulkhead placement for masters WRs.
  • I didn't see it, but someone at the meet told me the pool was measured on Saturday. If so then Walt Reid will have the measurements; I'll ask him about them.
