Meets

So Long TYR...

Well, the TYR meet came and went last Sunday and we all had a blast. We had a decent-sized showing Sunday, with Emily, Mark Urban, Mike, John, Jolene and Mark coming out for a really nice, but low-key meet.

There were a lot of highlights, but one of the best had to be John Javorski's incredible performance in the 200 Fly, followed immediately by a string of quick-turn-around challenging fly events. I have some video of it that I'm planning on posting--you'll see it here first when it's ready.

Also: I know a lot of you have been asking about paying dues: That's almost ready, too. I'll have the whole thing up and running soon, so you'll be able to pay dues online right here. Shouldn't be too much longer--I'll let you know when it's ready.


Get Ready for TYR

It's hard to believe that we'll have our first semi-official meet of the season this weekend: The TYR Grand Prix.

If you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late. Just visit this link and sign up. It will ask you for your masters number, then it will ask you to enter your personal info and select your team. Make sure you select Mt. Greenwood Masters when registering. (If you are new to the team, sign up for a master's card here. Otherwise, you can still use your 2008 card.)

As of this writing, there are five swimmers signed up. You can check the team rosters here. It would be really great to get a few more people going--especially a few more women, because with just one more, we could post a mixed relay. With three more, we'd have a full women's freestyle relay at the event.

This meet is unusual in several ways: First, it's really, really low-key. (This meet is so early in the season, there is almost no pressure whatsover.) Next, it's in short-course meters rather than yards, so times will get a little longer. Finally, this meet is one of the closest we'll have this year: It's just up the street at the beautiful University of Chicago pool--without a doubt one of the best pools we'll compete in all year.

Hope to see you there.
