So we have a "swim rant" thread, but I wanted to post my "swim happy" moment today, probably brought on by being out of the water for over a week.
Pool reopened after maintenance + clear, fresh perfect temp water + 6 lap lanes between 4 lap swimmers = 4200yd :bliss:
Don't forget SPAW! (Unless we don't stick around, in which case I have been invited to be a Water Jock. :DYou bet! I think Montgomery and Florence also have teams.
As for counting... I can get my counter to hold down your lane until I regain consciousness. If you end up in heat 3, I can take over for Swimosaur until he regains consciousness. Someone will count for you.
GAJA... please! One day, we will get MATT, CTMS, AMS and BSLM together into a "regional" team and smack down GAJA once and for all!

I don't think it is going to happen on the 200 fly unless someone drops out (very possible). I'm the 8th seed which means I'll be trying not to get washed out of the pool by the animals in the middle lanes. You will get to battle it out with Ellen and Elaine in the second heat. Kind of the reverse of what happened in the 500 free last year. The 400 IM on the other hand is looking interesting. We probably will be across the pool from each other but I think I can go 5:15. We'll see if you can put enough distance on me in the backstroke to hold me off. If I had the guts to put 2:25 down for my 200 IM, we would be pretty close in that one too.
I think the only battle I'll be in is the one to survive...
I can count for ekw if needed. I should be in heat 1.
:applaud:
Thanks! Hey, I'm looking forward to seeing you and the Dave's in Auburn! (Oh yeah, Roger, too!)We actually have a sizable team this year. Dave's daughter, 2 of Roger's children and a couple other's I haven't met are joining us. They will probably throw us in the large team category and make us compete against the 50 or so from GAJA :).

Bwahahaha! I have joined the Evil Empire! Where is the StormTrooper emo? :duel:
Also, judging from psych sheets, it looks like you & I may enjoy reprise of 2011 200 fly! :duel:
Also, it looks like the plans I made with ekw to swap counter duties in the 1650 may be foiled -- she is seeded 17th and if even one person 1-16 is a no show, then she & I may wind up in the same heat. We may be begging for counters Saturday morning!
Elaine, magnificent job with Gail! She has a wicked quick turnover in backstroke! She'll be great at Senior Games!

Thanks, Swimosaur! That's what I keep telling Gail; she's a natural backstroker! I think she would be great at Senior Games, too. Hopefully, I can talk her into joining me; especially since I know she is already better than some of the gals who competed last year.
As for Auburn, I hope we get to swim on a relay together, now that you're my teammate! :banana:
