2011 AT&T Winter Nationals - December 1-3 - psych sheet

The Winter Nationals will be in LC meters this year to prepare for the Olympics. I'm a little disappointed, because I love SC meets and they are pretty rare. Still, this should be an amazing meet and it will be televised by NBC on Sunday! So set your DVR.

Here is the psych sheet: http://www.swimlfsc.org/storage/a-3-national-meets/01-sc-nationals/Nationals%20SC%201112%20psych%20sheet.pdf

Ryan is in the following events:

Event 2 - 400m free

Event 4 - 200m IM

Event 8 - 400m IM

Event 12 - 200m free

Event 16 - 100m back

Event 22 - 100m free

Wonder if there will be a mini-taper? I doubt it. If there is a mini-taper, it will probably be at the Duel in a few weeks.

It's so rare for Ryan to swim a 400 IM! That alone is worth the price of admission. It's exciting for us to watch, even if if it is painful for him to swim.

I noticed that Arkady Vyatchanin is swimming in this meet. He must still be training with Ryan in Florida. Ryan has so many great training partners to push him in practice. Vyatchanin is a fantastic 200m backstroker. He won bronze in the 100m back and 200m back in Beijing.
