Posted by Kevin Doak on Thursday at: 3:53am (July 31st, 2008)
After a fantastic road trip I arrived safe and sound in Minneapolis. I got checked in to my hotel and I'm excited to report I have a glorious view of the Fuddruckers next door! I'll wake up and warmup before the prelims session begins at 9:00am (Central time). I'm planning on doing a 50 Free time trial tomorrow after the preliminary session. I have the 100 Backstroke on Friday morning for prelims. I got ahold of my cousin Chris who lives in the area and I hope to meet up with him while I'm here.
I was looking over the meet packet and found this information about the facility:
The University of Minnesota Aquatic Center, located on the campus of the University of Minnesota is just minutes from downtown Minneapolis. The Aquatic Center has 4 pools (competition pool, diving well, 6 lane, 25 yd lap pool and an instructional pool). The main competition pool is one of the fastest pools in the country with numerous World, American and NCAA records having been broken here. The Aquatic Center is open nearly 5,000 hours each year and on an average day 950-1,500 people use the aquatic facilities and programs. The Aquatic Center has played host to 2 previous US Opens and 4 National Championships.
Now for some sleep!
