Monday
(Aug.6)
Our
flight went well and arrived in Indianapolis around noon. We got on the shuttle to
pick up our rental car and as we were about to be dropped off, the driver
said I think that was your car that just drove off. So the manager, to
make up for the inconvenience, gave us a convertible car for the same
price of the standard car. Not a bad deal at all.
[Our rental car. Ready to test around the Speedway.]
After
checking in to our hotel then we headed to the pool. This is my 3rd time
in Indy, (the last time in 2000 for Olympic Trials). We checked in for
the meet and got our meet credentials. Lawson was pretty impressed by
"The Nat". Two (2) fifty meter pools (one competition and
another for w-up) and 1 25-yard diving well pool. While he as warming
up, I looked for the Speedo representative to get his free suit. His
choice was any FSII suit or a 60% discount on any FSPro suit. Chose the
FSPro (a $200 suit for $65.00; not a bad deal). Tried the suit on for
pace and loved the feel of the suit. He said it felt like your not even
wearing a suit. Had a great w-up and ready for tomorrow.
