Saturday morning update

Enjoyed another great session on deck. Unbelievably for the first time at this meet my shoes were soaked. And it's the one day I didn't bring an extra pair of socks. Being off tonight really threw off my thinking process!


Swim officials have learned something about drying wet shoes. Newspaper works best. In fact, strips of newspaper work even better. I'm not sure what we'll do when newsprint goes away completely.


Here are a few more photos from today, trying to give you some different views from around and under the pool area.


It takes an army of young girls and boys to keep things moving. They are separated into teams who carry small laundry baskets up and down the steps filled with clothes, shoes, ipods, headphones, etc...from the competitors in the water. This morning during the Men's 50 Free, they were running underneath to have things ready when the heats finished, then running back for the next round.



This photo mosaic is in the Aquazone filled with photos submitted by people around the country. John Raker is in the center photo on the right, on the starting blocks - he is the second one in in the white cap. He's also a lot smaller than he is now. In the big picture it's located around the middle of the "s" in "swimming" then along the blue line in the logo.



This is the view from the main stairs leading to the pool deck on the start end by lane 9.
