and about the medley!<BR/><BR/>me, i'm a huge phelps fan as a flyer, but as a relay swimmer he's got nothing on ian, if only for the fact that ian has started off brendan SO many times and familiarity is always a nice thing.<BR/><BR/>me, I hate going off a backstroker i'm not used to (will they glide into the wall or take a short stroke?) and relay exchanges on our high school team are always so

i'd forgotten about this until i tried to find results for the diving events so far: omega will be sponsoring the results and if you go to their website (available through montreal2005.org) during the swimming events, they'll be "showing" the races as they happen. as in, whatever is on the timing board at the meet will be on your computer screen, complete with WR splits and reaction times.<BR/><

<B>lala</B> was asking the other day about the relays--this article was in the OC Register and discusses that:<BR/><BR/><I>For the past few months, Dave Salo has been unflappable when discussing his seemingly high-pressure assignment as the U.S. men's swim coach for the FINA World Championships.<BR/><BR/>Before departing for Montreal, he remained in form, even on the subject of the heavily

Thanks for the info Shannen. I'm gonna check out how I can get that channel... I would loove to have it all the time cause it looks like they rerun football and basketball games in the area as well. Can't believe it's almost here. It seems like y'all were planning the Montreal trip months ago.

Thank you Shannen! I think my horrible week has just been redeemed. <BR/>Oh and I just finished HP6! Best one yet most definitely!

Sorry Skye...I haven't watched gymnastics in awhile. At least you knew what I meant. Now that I think about the more dorky I feel. Oh, well. I'd rather watch swimming, anyway. <BR/>Is there any possible way we can see the Ron doll in photograph form? Sounds interesting. I saw a guy that looked like Ian at Barnes & Noble while getting HP6. He looked like he was about 8 feet tall, however.

Thanks Shannen.. the browser that I have been using didn't like that site.. So there was the thing that said programming was covered with graphics. I am a happy girl now.

<B>lala</B>--go to this website:<BR/><BR/>http://msn.foxsports.com/id/1991727<BR/><BR/>Off to the right side, it'll say "Programming" (near the animation of some fans waving giant foam fingers.) Since you're on the west coast, you'll need to click on the link called "FCS Pacific".<BR/><BR/>When you click on that, it'll take you to a programming grid. Ignore the "Search By Sport" pulldown menu,

After digging through my cable lineup, I found out we *do* get Fox College Sports, but it's extra. So for folks with Time Warner Digital Cable, you might check and see if you have a thing called Digital Sports Package-it looks like it has Fox College Sports, as well as College Sports Network. I thought it was odd that a town that is *so* into college sports (with Ohio State and all)wouldn't have

I don't know if ya'll have heard, but Fox College Sports is going to air some coverage from Worlds. So if you live in the US and get that channel, there's a chance you'll get to see some of it.<BR/><BR/>Their website is located here:<BR/><BR/>http://msn.foxsports.com/id/1991727<BR/><BR/>And Worlds is listed in their schedule.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, I don't get that station, but I thought I'd

Shannen, I got my copy of the book at midnight on Friday and they even gave me a Ron doll cause I was one of the firsts. The doll looks like Ian, I swear.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, coming back to the real world. Way to go Brendan... and I don't know, the whole ripping cap thing. Sexy.

I really have to work on my typing.... I was trying to quote afadingvoice and I typo-ed it. So is Bren swimming today or is he getting ready to go to Team USA camp? Does anyone know if all the relay teams (beside the medley) have been chosen?

male gymnasts don't use the uneven bars...i just re-signed up to blogspot JUST to post that. ;) but yeah, i'd love to help the guys up to the rings or high bar.<BR/><BR/>and i've NEVER had a cap rip on deck...but i've just jinxed myself now. :)

After waiting *all* day, my book finally came. I thought it was coming UPS, meanwhile, it was sitting in my mailbox the entire time I was waiting! Oops!<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I noticed the 100 fly was today--did anyone hear if Ian ended up swimming in it? I'm just curious about his time if he did swim it.

I think being the cap holder girl is a great idea! That or the person in charge of the towels...My mom & I both think another good job would be the person who helps the male gymnasts onto the uneven bars. <BR/>Anyway, just sitting here drinking Penta water. I'm getting my HP6 book tomorrow. Still haven't read Order of the Phoenix yet, which is really sad.

I'd like to make a wager *ahem*:<BR/><BR/>Come Montreal, methinks Brendan will have two caps at the blocks - 1 on his head, one *just in case*<BR/><BR/>I volunteer to be the person holding the extra cap for him :)

Congratulations BRENDAN! <BR/><BR/>At least Brendan ripped his cap BEFORE the race, I had one rip in the middle of a mile. It was a complete disaster. I swear I get more stressed about losing my goggles and keeping my cap on before a race than I do about the actual race. ;o)

Woo! Go Brendan! Montreal isn't going to know what hit it.<BR/><BR/>That's crazy about his cap ripping. I remember watching the swimmers tugging at their caps and I was wondering if the things ever ripped. I mean, they weren't exactly being gentle with the tugging.<BR/><BR/>Now, I must return to staking out my front window in hopes that the UPS man arrives soon with my copy of Half Blood Prince!
